Zervys for restaurants
Today’s menu and specials on every table, a call button that brings your staff over, and a clear view of what your guests look at. All on the tablets and TVs you already have.
Bring your own screens
Recent tablets, phones and computers, and Samsung and LG TVs from 2020 or newer, run Zervys in their web browser. There’s nothing to wire and no visit from IT: open an address, enter the code it shows, and that device is one of your screens. A TV’s browser doesn’t come back by itself: after a power cut, someone has to open Zervys on it again, and an LG may put its screensaver over the page. An older TV, or one with no web browser such as a Roku, needs a Google TV stick plugged into it, and the Zervys app, left on at your place as its hub, to put Zervys on it. The hub puts it back after a power cut. We’re still trying that.
On each table: your menu, tonight’s specials and a button to call a server.
On the wall: your specials on a loop, or your whole menu as a board.
A staff screen for your staff: every call from a table, while it’s open and awake. There’s no phone alert yet, and a phone asleep in a pocket shows nothing until it wakes, so a tablet left on is the surest for now.
Wherever you are: change the menu, schedule specials and check the numbers.
Control
Mark a dish as sold out, pick tonight’s special or try one of your own photos, then press publish and watch the table.
Your phone
Every table
Happy hour · 4–6 PM
Six dollar pints, half-price wings.
Every weekday until six. Bar and patio.
Make changes from your phone on the floor or a computer in the office, and set them up ahead of time so they happen on their own.
Service
Guests call a server or ask for the bill right from the table, and it shows on any staff screen that’s open and awake. Less waiting for guests, and fewer laps of the room for staff.
The screen says the call went to a staff screen, or asks the guest to wave someone over if none is connected. A phone that has just gone to sleep can still count as connected for about 45 seconds, so keep a staff screen awake.
Every call shows up on a staff screen that’s open and awake. One tap tells the table someone’s on the way. A tablet left on is the surest for now: a phone asleep shows nothing until it wakes.
Engagement
The screen is the first thing guests see when they sit down. Put your best dishes and specials in front of them, give them a reason to come back, and see what catches their eye.
Guests scan a code to leave a review, join your list or take your full menu with them. There’s nothing to download.
Zervys counts what guests tap: how often they open your menu and your specials, when they call for service, and which screens get used, day by day.
No names, no sign-ins. Just what was tapped, when, and on which screen.
A TV can loop your specials, and it changes when your tables do. Put tonight’s feature in front of the whole room.
How it works
Book a demo and we’ll get you going: screens at your tables, one for your staff, and a TV if you want one.
Dishes, prices, photos and specials, from your phone or a computer. Take your time: nothing shows until you publish.
Every screen in the room changes within seconds. Do it as often as the kitchen changes its mind.
Questions
Maybe not. Recent tablets, phones and computers, and Samsung and LG TVs from 2020 or newer, run Zervys in their web browser. A TV’s browser doesn’t come back by itself: after a power cut, someone has to open Zervys on it again, and an LG may put its screensaver over the page. An older TV, or one with no web browser such as a Roku, needs a Google TV stick plugged into it, and the Zervys app, left on at your place as its hub, to put Zervys on it. The hub puts it back after a power cut. We’re still trying that. Tell us what you have, and we’ll go through it with you.
No. Zervys shows your menu and specials and brings your staff to the table. Orders and payment stay with your servers and your till, the way they are now.
Your screens keep showing the last menu they had and catch up on their own once you’re back online. A screen restarted while it’s down can’t load until it’s back, and may need reloading by hand. Calling a server does need the connection: while it’s down, the screen says the call didn’t go through, so guests know to wave someone over.
Sign in on your phone or a computer, make your changes and press publish. Your menu and specials wait until you do, so a half-finished edit never shows. Marking a dish sold out goes out straight away, and so does a new look for your screens, when you apply it.
No. The screen’s already at the table, and the QR codes open with a phone’s camera.
What’s tapped, when, and on which screen: which parts of the menu and which specials were opened, and when someone called for service. There’s no sign-in and nothing to type at the table, so no names, emails or payment details are ever collected. To count a phone opening your menu once, its address is scrambled and held in memory for 15 minutes. It’s never saved.
