Café Boardgame serves four-hour table sessions without losing the thread
Guests choose from more than 400 board games, settle into retro consoles, add snacks and drinks, and stay for hours. The team needed order views that could follow the table, not force a long visit into a quick-service workflow.

A café built around the games
A board-game café is built around the games, the table, and the time people spend there. Staff look after the library, reservations, snacks, drinks, pickup orders, and sessions that can outlast a normal meal.
- Keep the food and drink menu current, on the website and at the till.
- Serve a quick counter order and a four-hour game session off the same screen.
- Find a table's payments and order history easily, even after it's been sitting for hours.
Order views built around long visits
The team can shape the workflow around the room: quick counter sales, long tables, payments added later, and support when the setup needs an adjustment.
- Tables can carry order history through a long session.
- Payments stay findable when guests add rounds hours apart.
- Support can adjust the setup around how the team actually works.
Kitchen logistics have sped up and training new staff is much easier.
