- Restaurant servers who write orders by hand
- Worth noticing
- Its described shorthand rules use margin numbers for seats, indented lines for modifiers, and page-spanning lines for courses.
Field notes
The described workflow carries paper guest-check conventions into a phone pad: a margin number sets the seat for following lines, while indented or dashed text modifies the item above. The page says servers can correct a reading by pressing and holding it, and that the app remembers shorthand corrections. It lists 30 tickets at no charge, then $6.99 per year, with payment through the app store.
