Meze first, the grill when the table is ready

Courses the way the table eats ​

Meze, then the grill, then dessert and tea. Hold the grill on the till when the order goes in, and send it with one tap when the table is ready, or let it go on its own after a set time. The kitchen display keeps each course apart, with how long it has been waiting.

One till for the tables and the counter ​

Each item can carry a separate price for eat-in, takeaway and delivery, so a lahmacun at a table and a lahmacun in a bag are both priced right without anyone checking a list. Counter and phone orders run beside the tables on the same till, and your own ordering site takes online orders at 0% commission.

In Turkish, and where it is still English ​

Your staff can switch the till and the kitchen display to Turkish. Two things are in English today: printed receipts, and the ordering site your customers use. We say so up front, so nobody finds out on the first night.

Guides for Turkish and Kurdish restaurants ​

Free guides based on official sources, most of them also in Turkish: alcohol licences, music licences, the tipping law, service charge or tips, allergen information, the minimum wage, right to work checks and fire and gas safety. All of them are on the guides page, and there is more on table service on the restaurants page.

Questions owners ask ​

Can my staff use the till in Turkish? ​

Yes. The till and the kitchen display can both be switched to Turkish.

Do receipts print in Turkish? ​

Not at the moment. Receipts print in English, and the ordering site your customers use is in English too.

Can each guest pay for their own share? ​

Yes. Split the bill by guest, by item or down the middle, then take each share by card or cash.

Do I need a licence for music or a live band? ​

There are two separate things to check: a licence from PPL PRS for playing recorded music, and the council side under the Licensing Act. Our music licence guide explains both.
