Buffet POS System
A buffet sells a fixed per-person cover and lives on table turns, so the POS has to ring covers fast, add drinks and extras, and settle quickly to free the table. WDPW rings per-person covers in a tap, tracks turns on a live floor plan, and closes checks fast — on tablets you already own.

The problem
What gets in the way
A buffet is a throughput game measured in covers and turns. The value isn't in a long ticket — it's a per-person cover plus a few drinks and extras — so the POS has to ring that quickly, keep the floor turning, and settle without a queue at the till.
WDPW keeps the buffet floor moving. Ring covers per guest in a tap, add drinks and sides as modifiers, watch table status live, and close checks fast so the next party can be seated.
Ringing covers fast
The core sale is a per-person cover; ringing it quickly for each guest is what keeps the line down.
Table turns
Revenue depends on turning tables, so the floor has to be visible and settlement fast.
Drinks and extras
Beverages and add-ons still need to be ordered and tracked on top of the cover.
Peak throughput
Buffets peak hard at meal times, and the till can't become a bottleneck.
