Running a bar or restaurant in Elche? The management software that brings POS, digital orders and QR menu together in one platform.
From the centre to the Palm Grove and from everyday meals to the lunchtime set menu: manage your menu, your floor and your payments from a single panel.
In Elche, lunchtime is the busy shift
Elche runs on local regulars and workers eating out midweek. The set lunch fills the place in two hours, and what matters there is taking orders fast, getting food out on time and charging with no queues.
Set menu, no fuss
Set up the menu and its courses once and the order flies: starter, main and dessert in two taps.
Full lunch, kitchen on time
Orders come through instantly and the kitchen sees them in order, with no paper lost at peak time.
Quick payment, back to work
Each guest pays their share from the phone and the table frees up for the next sitting.
How hospitality actually works in Elche
Arroz con costra, rice baked with an egg crust, is Elche's signature dish, and it has a quirk every cook in the city knows: it is finished in the oven with the egg layer on top, and it can't be improvised. Many people order it in advance for Sunday lunch or a celebration, and the kitchen needs to know how many to make and for what time. It is not a rice dish you order at a quarter to three expecting it to come out in ten minutes.
That order usually starts with a phone call and a note. With iTaula bookings you note the name, time, number of guests and, in the note, the rice that has been ordered. When the day starts, the kitchen knows what it has to prepare that day without hunting for the notebook.
On the day of the meal, the waiter has to manage the timing: starters first, and the rice when it is ready to come out of the oven. Orders go on screen to the kitchen and the bar, and the waiter decides when to send each part of the order, so the rice doesn't wait at the pass and the table doesn't wait for the rice.
Sunday family meals mean long tables and a shared bill. If each branch of the family pays its own way, they split the bill from their phones by person or by dish. And when you close, the end-of-day cash-up is already done, broken down by payment method.
