2. The On-Screen Service Bell

Waving your hands across a crowded restaurant can feel awkward. MenuMinute includes an on-screen Service Bell for tables:

Tap 'Call Waiter': Alerts staff that your table needs quick assistance (water refill, clean fork, extra sauce).

Tap 'Request Bill': Lets your server know you are ready to settle the tab, allowing them to bring the bill folder or portable card terminal right away.
