At ARA Creative Lab, we build digital solutions that help businesses improve their daily operations, reduce manual work, and serve customers more efficiently. One of our recent developments for MyChef.rest introduces an important new feature for restaurants: the ability for cashiers and waiters to create customer orders directly from the restaurant account.
Previously, MyChef.rest allowed customers to place orders online through the platform. This was useful for digital ordering, but restaurants also needed a simple way to manage orders that happen inside the restaurant, over the phone, at the counter, or through waiter assistance.
With this new update, restaurants can now manage both online and in-person orders from one system.
Supporting Real Restaurant Workflows
Every restaurant handles orders differently. Some customers prefer ordering online, while others visit the restaurant, call by phone, or ask a waiter or cashier for help.
To support these everyday restaurant situations, ARA Creative Lab developed a feature that allows restaurant staff to create orders on behalf of customers directly inside MyChef.rest.
This means restaurants can now manage:
- Online customer orders
- Walk-in customer orders
- Phone orders
- Counter orders
- Waiter-assisted orders
Instead of using paper notes, separate systems, or manual tracking, staff can add orders directly into MyChef.rest. This keeps the process organized and helps reduce mistakes.
How This Helps Cashiers and Waiters
Cashiers and waiters can now log in to the restaurant account, select menu items, add customer orders, and send them for preparation. This creates a smoother workflow between the front counter, dining area, and kitchen.
For busy restaurants, speed and accuracy are very important. This feature helps staff serve customers faster while keeping order details clear and easy to follow.
It also helps reduce confusion because all order records stay in one place.
Better Order Management for Restaurants
By allowing both customers and restaurant staff to place orders, MyChef.rest gives restaurants more control over daily operations.
Restaurants can track orders more easily, manage preparation better, and keep sales information organized. Whether an order comes from a customer online, a waiter at the table, or a cashier at the counter, MyChef.rest helps keep everything simple and connected.
This improves:
- Order accuracy
- Kitchen communication
- Customer service
- Daily sales tracking
- Staff efficiency
With all orders managed in one platform, restaurant teams can work with more confidence and fewer delays.
A More Flexible Ordering System
Modern restaurants need flexible tools. Not every customer wants to order the same way, and not every restaurant operates with the same workflow.
This new MyChef.rest feature gives restaurants the flexibility to accept orders in the way that works best for their business and their customers. Customers can continue placing orders online, while restaurant staff can also assist customers directly when needed.
This makes MyChef.rest a more complete ordering solution for restaurants of different sizes and service styles.
Building Practical Technology for Restaurants
ARA Creative Lab developed this feature with a clear goal: to make restaurant order management easier, faster, and more organized.
Restaurants need tools that save time, reduce confusion, and support daily operations. With this update, MyChef.rest helps restaurant teams work more efficiently while providing better service to customers.
This is another step toward making MyChef.rest a complete, affordable, and user-friendly ordering platform for restaurants.
At ARA Creative Lab, we are proud to support MyChef.rest with technology that helps restaurants manage orders smarter, serve customers faster, and grow with confidence.
