Kitchen and service, lunch and dinner, tables with waiting staff.
For example a restaurant or bistro with 10 to 30 people in the kitchen and service. Restaurants and bistros: service, kitchen, bar; reservations and parties as extras.
Narration in English; English subtitles can be switched on in the player. The app screens in the film are in German. “A day in a restaurant with Lumigast” in 2:07 minutes. All names and figures are demo data; the till is being trialled.
Five moments from everyday work – and what Lumigast takes care of.
Saturday, 10:00
Today will be busy
There are 80 covers in the reservation book for tonight. The covers appear in the rota, and “Today” shows: service is still one person short.
10:05
Filling the gap
You send requests to two people directly. The answer arrives on the phone, rest periods and working hours have already been checked – the light turns green.
18:00
Service and kitchen
Orders at the table, tickets to kitchen and bar. With “Course away”, waiting staff call the main course, and the kitchen reports back “ready”.
23:00
Payment and closing
Bill split by seat, tip per receipt, then cash count and end-of-day closing. The Lumigast POS is currently in testing.
At the end of the month
Month-end handover
Your team confirms their hours, you check the premiums and send the payroll export to the payroll office; your tax adviser receives the DATEV export from the POS.
What it looks like
Screenshots from Lumigast with the Restaurant starter profile – with demo data.
“Today” for management with the Restaurant starter profile: staffing, reservations and POS at the front.
The reservation book: covers, requests and waiting list, the row of lights for the next few days and the seats per time slot.
What the profile switches on
Included in every package and switched on straight away:
Your team sees four items on the phone: Shifts, Check in, Checklist and More. Waiting staff start in the POS, the kitchen at the kitchen display. Management has staffing, times, checklists and POS in the top bar – and with the reservation book, reservations too.
The profile is a starting template: it does not set your contract, price, permissions or obligations, and switching profiles takes nothing away.
Recommended – you decide
The profile suggests these modules. None of them is switched on or booked automatically.
The POS is in testing: live operation only with a certified Cloud-TSE (the security module German law requires for tills) – Lumigast prepares the till registration with the tax office; card payment directly from the POS is in preparation.
The payroll export is built, but has not yet been checked in a test import with any payroll office.
Delivery platforms and online payment when ordering at the table are not connected.
What does it cost?
