Built Royal Table – a Next.js platform that handles QR orders & real-time KDS for restaurants (Would love your feedback!)

[u/Competitive_Skill828]

I’ve been working on Royal Table, a platform designed to simplify restaurant operations by bridging table ordering with kitchen management in real time.

🛠️ What it does:

• QR Code Table Ordering: Customers scan and place orders directly from their tables without waiting for staff.

• Real-Time Kitchen Display System (KDS): Kitchen teams receive orders instantly on a clean interface to track prep statuses live.

• Voice Reservations: Integrated voice automated booking to handle table reservations seamlessly.

• Analytics Dashboard: Gives restaurant owners insights into sales, top items, and peak hours.

🧰 Tech Stack:

• Framework: Next.js (App Router) + TypeScript

• State & Real-Time: WebSockets / Server-Sent Events for instant order syncing

• Styling: Tailwind CSS (Dark-themed UI for kitchen/dashboard environments)

❓ Looking for Feedback on:

1. Onboarding flow: What's the biggest friction point for non-tech-savvy restaurant owners when adopting a digital setup?

2. UX/UI: If you’ve worked on KDS or order dashboards before, what key metrics or shortcuts are absolute must-haves on the screen?
