Transform Restaurant Operations with Order-and-Pay-at-the-Table Technology

Success in the restaurant industry demands more than a great menu. Today, 66% of consumers choose where to dine based on experience not just price or convenience. To help VARs empower their restaurant clients, we’ve partnered with Real Time Ordering (RTO) and National Computer Corporation (NCC) to deliver a cutting-edge order-and-pay-at-the-table solution that supports mobile ordering and payments anywhere. For restaurants that require it, our solution also offers optional order aggregation, seamlessly bringing together orders from multiple channels including third-party delivery platforms for a unified workflow.

Great Things Happen Through Restaurant Technology Partnerships

Today’s restaurant landscape is defined by rapid change and rising customer expectations. Diners want more than just great food they expect smooth, intuitive experiences that blend convenience with personal service. Meeting these demands requires more than one solution; it calls for a collaborative approach, bringing together the best in technology, operations, and payments. 

That’s why our partnership with RTO and NCC is so powerful. RTO’s expertise in online ordering and digital guest engagement means restaurants can connect with customers wherever they are whether at the table, on the move, or at home. NCC’s decades of experience in point of sale systems ensures that every transaction is secure, accurate, and seamlessly integrated into daily operations. And our world-class payment technology rounds out the picture, enabling fast, frictionless payments that keep guests happy and staff focused on service.

Together, we’ve created a solution that not only meets the needs of today’s restaurants but also anticipates tomorrow’s challenges. By combining our strengths, we empower restaurants to streamline operations, boost efficiency, and deliver experiences that turn first-time guests into loyal regulars.

Beyond Traditional Service: The Impact of RTO Tableside Technology

With RTO Tableside Order & Pay technology, every table transforms into a fully functional point of service. Servers are equipped with an intuitive and easy-to-use PAX A77 device, allowing them to enter orders right at the customer’s side. 

These orders are instantly transmitted to the kitchen via NCC’s Reflection POS, eliminating the risk of manual errors and ensuring that every detail — special requests, modifiers, and allergy alerts — are communicated precisely and efficiently.

Our order-and-pay-at-the-table solution streamlines the ordering process, allowing servers to focus on what they do best: creating memorable dining experiences that keep customers coming back time and time again. This technology frees servers from the distractions of note-taking or running between tables and point-of-sale terminals. Staff can instead devote more time to each guest, offering genuinely personalized attention — engaging in meaningful conversation, making eye-to-eye contact, and ensuring every order detail is captured accurately. 

This enhances customer satisfaction and elevates the overall atmosphere, making every visit feel more welcoming and memorable.

Designed to meet the ever-evolving needs of modern hospitality, RTO Tableside Order & RTO Tableside Pay operates seamlessly over Wi-Fi and 4G, providing unmatched flexibility to serve customers wherever they are. Staff can confidently take orders and/or process payments in any environment — whether in the dining room, on the patio, curbside, or even at the customer’s front door during delivery. This adaptability allows for easy transitions between traditional table service, outdoor events, pop-up dining, and delivery operations — all with the same intuitive device and consistent payment experience.

No matter where guests are, RTO’s order-and-pay-at-the-table ensures consistent, high-quality service and a seamless payment process. When it’s time to pay, customers can complete their transaction quickly and easily on the device, add a tip, and receive an emailed receipt within seconds — making every transaction fast, secure, and guest-friendly.

By empowering staff to focus on guests rather than paperwork and delivering a reliable, flexible solution for every service scenario, order-and-pay-at-the-table helps restaurants build stronger relationships with their customers and sets a new standard for hospitality in today’s fast-paced industry.

“The industry has been waiting for a practical order-and-pay-at-the-table solution that seamlessly communicates with the POS system and makes servers’ lives easier with a device that’s easy to carry and use in a demanding restaurant environment,” Chuck Prince, President, NCC, says. “RTO Tableside Order and Pay makes it accessible with a total solution offered for a low monthly subscription.”
