Field notes
The sample service view connects reservations and waitlist activity to a room map, staff sections and a pre-shift briefing. It includes operational details such as a shellfish allergy, held deposits and a kitchen pace of 16 covers per half hour. The page provides a local setup command and says the project is MIT-licensed; its stated scope excludes online ordering, gift cards and the POS itself.
