INNOVATION HIGHLIGHTS // NOODOE

The Noodoe table service block and the Noodoe watch

The halfway point of the year has passed and the first six months of national trade shows are complete. Restaurant & Café highlights the news and innovation that have been displayed around the country.

ENHANCING SERVICE

Noodoe was a great success at the 2018 Fine Food show, selected as finalists in the Innovation awards. Noodoe demonstrated its ability to enhance table service and delight customers.

Things that excited the restaurant population were:

  • The size and convenience of the blocks
  • The ability to brand the holder and key card
  • The “Pass” block that assists chefs to call wait staff unobtrusively
  • The comprehensive cloud reporting was a hit with owners and managers.
  • The movement ALERT feature that alerts wait staff if the block is moving for more than 15 seconds i.e. if it is leaving in someone’s pocket.

Following the show, Noodoe has clarified some features.

  • The blocks are splash proof and a little rain on an outside table won’t be an issue
  • The watches are rated IP67 so can handle handwashing while being worn
