In design — not yet for sale

Paper where it belongs.

A line of e-ink hardware for the room, starting with the two objects that get touched the most: the check that lands on the table, and the button that clears a ticket off the rail. Buy them once and own them — no lease, no per-terminal fee, nothing that stops working if you ever leave.

Straight up: these are drawings, not products. Nothing below has a price or a ship date yet, and we won't take your money for one until it exists.

01 — Front of house

The check presenter

A quiet, paper-toned e-ink object for the one moment at the table that's still allowed to feel physical. Reflective, not backlit — it reads in direct sun and lands on a candlelit two-top without glowing at anybody. Leather spine, aluminum chassis, no glass.

It shows the closed check the second the server sets it down, then the code to pay, then a thank-you with the tip already on it. About a month between charges.

The bump bar

One sealed button per ticket on the rail. Hit it with a knuckle, a fist, a glove — it never needs a clean fingertip. Each lane lights copper the instant its ticket fires, and sits directly under that ticket on the screen above.

Press it, that ticket bumps. No mapping to learn, no menu to navigate, and the whole thing takes a sanitizer hose-down without flinching.

Still just sketches

The rest of the line.

Every one of these is something a restaurant currently prints, laminates, or rewrites by hand — and every one of them already has the live data behind it sitting in the app. These are further out than the two above, and nothing here is committed to yet.

Table markers

The number on the table updates itself when the host renames or merges it. No laminator, no wrong number sitting on a two-top all night.

Specials board

86 something on the Floor and the board at the host stand catches up on its own — instead of a chalkboard nobody has touched since Tuesday.

Shelf & prep labels

Prep date, cook, and use-by, written from the same menu the line is already working off. Still legible after a week in a walk-in.

Why we'd bother.

The software already runs on hardware you can buy anywhere — any tablet, any browser, and that stays true. None of this is a terminal you have to rent from us to keep your account working. It's the objects the room actually touches, made properly, for operators who care what their dining room feels like.

One email when there's something real to show. That's it.
