Dacheng Breakfast
A 4-hour breakfast rush where 82% of orders are placed by customers themselves
A Taiwanese breakfast shop with two printers and three stations: customers scan to order, the griddle station gets its own tickets automatically - 2,890 orders across 77 business days.

The Challenge
A breakfast shop lives or dies by the 7-11 a.m. rush: those four hours decide most of the day's revenue. At peak, floor staff take orders, handle cash and run food at the same time - and once orders pile up, they get missed or written down wrong.
The other breaking point sat between the griddle station and the counter: paper tickets passed by hand, orders shouted across the room, missing add-ons on egg pancakes, forgotten drinks - and numbers that would not reconcile at the end of a busy morning.
The Solution
A QR code on every dine-in table lets customers scan, order and submit by themselves, so floor staff no longer write anything down; takeout customers order at the counter through the POS.
The shop runs two receipt printers across three stations: the counter prints the full ticket, while the griddle station only prints items in the categories assigned to it - items that never touch the griddle, like the sweet cheese pancake, simply do not print there. Every ticket the griddle sees is something it has to cook.
Offline mode keeps ordering and printing running even when the network gets shaky at peak.
After Going Live
Live since late May 2026, the shop logged 2,890 orders across 77 business days by August 18 - about 37 orders a day - with a peak of 129 orders in a single day (June 7, 2026).
2,370 of those orders (82%) came in through dine-in QR scanning and 518 through takeout - meaning most of the ordering work during the rush is now done by customers, and floor staff are back to running food and clearing tables. Orders still concentrate between 07:00 and 11:00 with the 9 a.m. slot at the top, and the peak holds. Average ticket: NT$183.
