Is it a good time to go for lunch?

Staff canteen occupancy in real time: your employees see on their phone how busy it is and how long they’ll wait. And the kitchen knows how many will eat, so it cooks just enough.

Live

What each employee sees.

On their phone or on a screen at the canteen entrance. They open a link, with nothing to download and no sign-up, and see at a glance whether to go down now or wait.

How busy it is now
Quiet, comfortable, busy or full. One word, no charts to read.
How long the wait is
An estimate of the queue time, in minutes.
When to go
A recommendation: go now, or at the time when it’ll be quieter.
What’s usual
The typical footfall for that weekday, to plan your break.

For Facilities

Fewer queues. And a service sized with data.

When people know when to go, the rush hour spreads out. And what Cafe measures is kept, so you can see how the canteen is used week by week.

Opening hours and holidays

Set when the canteen opens, its capacity and the days it’s closed. Outside opening hours, Cafe says so.

One link, no login

Each building has its own address. Share it on the intranet, by email or with a QR code at the entrance.

Feedback from the people who use it

Employees say whether the estimate was right. That’s how you fine-tune the service.

Cafe

Kitchen

Not just for the people who eat. For the people who cook, too.

By mid-morning, the kitchen team sees how many people are in the building and gets a forecast of how many will come down to eat. So it cooks the right amount and throws less food away.

It isn’t a hunch: the forecast comes from the building’s real occupancy that same morning.

By mid-morning

The kitchen team sees the building’s real occupancy and knows how many people may come down to eat.

Just the right amount

They plan the menu with a forecast, not gut feeling or “just in case”.

Less waste

Less food cooked for nothing. Less waste. The same service, better matched.

Where to start

Works on its own. Better with Space.

You can start with just the canteen. If you add Space later, the canteen becomes part of the whole building’s analysis.

Cafe on its own

  • One page per building, no login, with the canteen’s status and the wait.
  • The rush hour spreads out on its own when people know when to go down.
  • Kitchen: by mid-morning, the kitchen knows how many people will eat.

Add Space, and also

  • The canteen alongside the rest of the building: occupancy and comfort in a single view.
  • Each floor’s occupancy, to match cleaning and catering to real use.
Discover Space

Nobody queuing for lunch. And a kitchen that knows how many to expect.
