It can be configured and updated from CoverManager's software easily.

For guests staying at the hotel who want to enjoy your food, CoverManager also has facilities.

Your customers from their room will not only be able to see the menus and dishes you have, but will also be able to order them without calling reception. It is a way to minimize efforts and not have someone from your staff receiving calls that ultimately go to the kitchen. With their phone, the customer orders whatever they feel like eating, so that it goes directly to your cooks and they can pay for it on the spot from their phone.

The system is connected to the hotel's POS and PMS, and with it you can see the consumption history of each customer.

Another of the tools we offer is access validation via QR.

This tool will make your work easier when seating guests at specific tables, controlling access.
