RESTAURANTS & CAFÉS · COASTSIDE & BAY AREA
Keep the counter, kitchen, and online orders working together. Coastside IT Services helps restaurants plan the technology behind service—from choosing a POS to preparing your staff for opening day.
Talk through your restaurant setupSTART WITH HOW YOU SERVE
A café counter, a full-service dining room, and a busy takeout kitchen have different needs. We help you work through the choices before committing to a system.
Review order entry, table service, modifiers, staff access, reporting, and payment options. Compare the equipment, subscriptions, provider requirements, and support arrangements behind each option.
Plan where terminals, handhelds, and receipt printers belong, and identify what can work with your existing equipment.
Review direct website orders, pickup, delivery, and third-party marketplaces. Map how orders enter your POS and reach the kitchen using the connections your chosen providers support.
Help configure menus, modifiers, hours, availability, and pickup instructions, then check the customer and staff experience.
Plan kitchen display systems, ticket printers, and routing to the right preparation station. Walk through counter, table, and online orders with your staff before a busy service.
Identify who updates menus, manages sold-out items, and resolves an order that needs attention.
OPENING, UPGRADING, OR SIMPLIFYING
Whether you are opening a new location or changing one part of your current setup, we define the work and coordinate the pieces with you and your providers.
Map your service flow, equipment, software, connections, and recurring costs. Agree on the needs, budget, and scope.
Coordinate POS and ordering providers, check supported integrations, and test representative orders, receipts, kitchen routing, and network connections.
Walk staff through everyday tasks and write down access and support procedures. Review available offline features and a plan for internet or equipment problems.
CONNECT THE WHOLE SPACE
POS, ordering, and AV depend on the connections behind them. Plan these together so each device has the access it needs.
COMMON QUESTIONS
We start by reviewing your current platform, equipment, and provider support. The scope depends on available access and supported connections. A useful first step may be improving the current setup rather than replacing it.
That depends on the POS, ordering provider, and integration available for your setup. We check compatibility and order routing before planning the connection, then test how menu choices and orders reach staff.
Yes. We can help plan the POS, ordering channels, network, guest Wi-Fi, and displays together, coordinate with your providers, and prepare staff workflows before opening.
We serve small businesses in Half Moon Bay, Pacifica, Montara, Moss Beach, El Granada, and across the Greater Bay Area. Tell us your location and what you need so we can agree on the work.
