In development · Extension for MSG ERP

MSG ERPBistro

Take orders, tell the kitchen and do the billing — for event organisers, caterers and anyone running a grill or drinks trailer. The tablet is the hub, the phones are the order pads, and everything runs on its own Wi-Fi, with no internet needed.

How an event runs

One tablet. A few phones. And the kitchen keeps up.

It works the way hospitality tills do: big tiles, fixed colours, few taps. The tablet is the hub — everything else connects to it.

01

Ordering on the phone

Staff take the order at the table, as they would with a handheld order pad: pick a category, tap an item, choose how it’s cooked, send. The tablet takes it in and routes it.

In testing
02

Kitchen & bar

Every station gets its own prep board, plus tickets if you want them. When something is ready, a bell alerts service.

Running
03

Billing

The bill becomes a proper MSG ERP invoice, with net, VAT per rate and gross, just like any other invoice.

Up next

Kitchen & bar

Each station sees only what it needs.

Station screen, prep view: open orders by table with waiting time, drinks and mains kept apart, each item marked A or Z. Example data, German interface.

Open orders by table, with waiting time, split by course. One tap moves an item along — until service gets the call.

  • 01Waiting time at a glance. Grey, amber, red — whatever has waited longest stands out.
  • 02Courses kept apart. Drinks first, mains when it’s their turn.
  • 03Grill, bar, everything. Each station filters to its own part; the hub sees it all.
  • 04Bell and tickets. Once an item is marked as done, service knows. Tickets for kitchen and bar come on top.

From MSG ERP

The menu will come from MSG ERP. Not retyped.

You’ll keep dishes, drinks and prices in one place — the hospitality menu in MSG ERP — and the tablet takes over the menu for the event. Already working on the device: options such as doneness and extras, and deposits as a line of their own.

Grill Sides Drinks Sweets Deposit
Phone order pad: grilled pork neck with a required choice of doneness, extras with a surcharge, and quantity. Example data, German interface.

Menus

A menu of its own for each event, taken from MSG ERP, with categories in fixed colours — the same tabs as on the tablet and the phone.

Coming

Options

Doneness as a required choice, extras with a surcharge, a free note for the kitchen: “no onions”.

Running

Deposits

Cups and plates are charged as a separate line and appear on the bill.

From bill to invoice

Billing is meant to work like an invoice from MSG ERP: net, VAT per rate, gross.

Coming

Fully offline

No internet needed. Not even in a field.

A dedicated router links the tablet, two phones, the kitchen and the bar. The internet is not connected. TabletHub PhoneOrder pad PhoneOrder pad KitchenStation BarStation EVENT WI-FI Internet: not needed

Internet: not needed

MSG ERP Bistro runs on a dedicated event Wi-Fi — its own router, no internet. Tablet, phones and stations only talk to each other; a dead spot won’t stop service.

With the grill trailer

Hire it with the trailer. Menu ready.

Planned

Whoever hires the grill trailer will be able to take MSG ERP Bistro along — the menu for the job already set up. Tablet on the trailer, station at the grill, go.

  • 01Menu ready to go. Food, drinks, deposits — put together in MSG ERP beforehand.
  • 02One tablet, one station. That’s usually all a trailer needs.
  • 03Instead of a tally sheet. Every item recorded, every ticket for kitchen and bar.

From the app

Real screens. Example data.

Station with four table cards, items by course and done buttons.
Station · Bills. Each table is a card; the colour shows the waiting time and the big done button sits below.
Phone: items in the grill category, coloured category tabs below and the running total for table 2.
Phone · Ordering. Tabs in the category colours.
Phone: bill for table 2 with items not yet sent, deposits and one cancelled item.
Phone · Bill. What hasn’t been sent yet sits on top.
Tablet: list of paired devices with their role, order pad or station, connection status and staff member.
Tablet · Devices. Every phone and station with its role and status — locked with one tap.

The app is shown in German. All names, tables and prices are example data.
