Be there at the right moment
Guests may want another round but avoid interrupting a busy waiter. An easy service button on the existing menu gives them a discreet way to ask for attention. It does not take an order; it simply tells the team a table needs them.
The signal helps staff prioritize the right table during a busy shift. Once there, they can ask what the guest needs before suggesting anything.
Suggest something that fits
After a first drink, a second round may be welcome. After the main course, staff might mention dessert or coffee. If a guest wants to leave, respect that instead of giving a sales pitch.
Keep suggestions specific to your actual menu and availability. A service request tells the team a guest wants attention; it does not reveal what the guest intends to buy.
Keep an eye on the numbers
Track how quickly your team accepts and completes requests, and gather feedback about whether guests find it easy to reach staff. To see the commercial effect, compare relevant outcomes over time: more orders placed at the table, a higher average bill or more dessert rounds.
MenuPool adds a small service layer to your existing online menu. Every request is a chance for a guest to order something extra, and those chances add up over a busy service.
