How does Kabir Winery manage dine-in and takeaway with Gravy?
Kabir Winery manages dine-in and takeaway with Gravy by implementing it as a unified ordering layer, allowing guests to scan, browse, and order directly from their phones. Orders are instantly routed into the POS and distributed across kitchen and bar stations, creating a hybrid service model where table service and takeaway operate in parallel without operational chaos. Kabir Winery is a full-service restaurant combining traditional table service with active takeaway traffic, operating in a dynamic environment with around 30 tables split between indoor seating and a terrace.
Kabir Winery is a full-service restaurant combining traditional table service with active takeaway traffic. With around 30 tables split between indoor seating and a terrace, the venue operates in a dynamic environment where multiple service flows run at the same time.
To manage both dine-in and takeaway efficiently, Kabir Winery implemented Gravy as a unified ordering layer. Guests can scan, browse, and order directly from their phones, while orders are instantly routed into the POS and distributed across kitchen and bar stations.
This created a hybrid service model where table service and takeaway operate in parallel — without adding operational chaos behind the scenes.
What is Kabir Winery's service model?
Kabir Winery's service model is a dual one, operating as a full-service restaurant with both table service (with waitstaff across indoor and terrace seating) and parallel takeaway and counter-based orders. The venue features separate preparation areas for hot kitchen, cold kitchen, and bar service, necessitating precise order routing and coordination. During peak hours, both dine-in and takeaway demand surge simultaneously, intensifying pressure on staff, kitchen timing, and overall service flow.
- table service with waitstaff across indoor and terrace seating
- takeaway and counter-based orders running in parallel
The venue includes separate preparation areas for hot kitchen, cold kitchen, and bar service, requiring precise order routing and coordination.
During peak hours, both dine-in and takeaway demand increase simultaneously, putting pressure on staff, kitchen timing, and overall service flow.
What operational challenges did Kabir Winery face?
Before implementing Gravy, Kabir Winery had to manage two service models at the same time: traditional table service and active takeaway demand.
Kabir Winery faced operational challenges primarily in managing two simultaneous service models: traditional table service and active takeaway demand, especially during peak hours. This created constant pressure on staff, who had to split attention between hospitality, order-taking, POS entry, and coordination. Manual order entry slowed service and increased staff load. The venue also struggled with different ordering and payment logic for various contexts and ensuring orders reached correct preparation points without delay, needing one operational model to support both dine-in and takeaway without friction.
Manual order entry made the situation harder. Every extra step slowed service, increased staff load, and made it more difficult to keep both dine-in and takeaway moving smoothly at the same time.
The venue also needed different ordering and payment logic for different contexts. Table-service guests could order with optional payment in the flow, while takeaway orders required guest validation and payment during checkout. Managing those differences consistently without breaking operational rhythm was a real challenge.
On top of that, all orders still had to reach the correct preparation points — kitchen, bar, and service team — without confusion or delay. The restaurant needed one operational model that could support both dine-in and takeaway together, without creating friction between them.
What is Kabir Winery's Gravy ordering setup?
Kabir Winery's Gravy ordering setup is a hybrid system that includes a QR Menu for table service and a QR Kiosk for takeaway flow. This setup features full POS integration, automatic order routing across kitchen and bar, separate menus for dine-in and takeaway scenarios, and flexible payment logic depending on the service type. Guests at tables can order with or without immediate payment, while takeaway orders require validation and payment within the flow.
- QR Menu for table service
- QR Kiosk for takeaway flow
- full POS integration
- automatic order routing across kitchen and bar
- separate menus for dine-in and takeaway scenarios
- flexible payment logic depending on service type
Guests at tables can order with or without immediate payment, while takeaway orders require validation and payment within the flow.
How It Works in Practice
- Guests scan a QR code depending on their context (table or takeaway)
- They access the relevant menu (dine-in or takeaway)
- They place an order directly from their phone
- Payment is handled according to the service type
- Orders are instantly sent to the POS
- Orders are automatically routed to the correct kitchen or bar station
- Staff focus on service and delivery rather than order entry
Gravy significantly impacted Kabir Winery's operations by leading to measurable improvements across both dine-in and takeaway. Specifically, 95% of all orders now flow through the platform, requiring 60% fewer staff during peak hours, and resulting in 20% faster table turnover. The biggest operational shift occurred during peak hours, as guests placing orders directly from their phones reduced repetitive order-taking and POS entry for staff. This eliminated competition for staff attention between dine-in and takeaway flows, which now run through a unified POS-connected structure with appropriate menu, payment, and routing logic. Kitchen and bar coordination became more predictable with faster, cleaner orders and less manual handling, creating a more balanced and scalable operation. Eitan Naveh, Head Chef, states Gravy's digital menu transformed order handling, making service faster and allowing waiters to focus on hospitality.
How did Gravy impact Kabir Winery's operations?
After implementing Gravy, Kabir Winery saw measurable improvements across both dine-in and takeaway operations:
- 95% of all orders now flow through the platform
- 60% fewer staff needed during peak hours
- 20% faster table turnover
The biggest operational shift came during peak hours. Because guests place most orders directly from their phones, staff no longer handle the same volume of repetitive order-taking and POS entry.
As a result, dine-in and takeaway flows no longer compete for staff attention. Both run through the same POS-connected structure, with the right menu, payment logic, and routing behavior applied to each scenario.
Kitchen and bar coordination also became more predictable. Orders arrive faster, cleaner, and with less manual handling — making busy periods easier to manage for the team.
The result is a more balanced operation, where dine-in and takeaway can scale together without pulling the restaurant in two different directions.

Why This Setup Works
This setup works because it brings two different service models into one operational structure.
Table service and takeaway follow different guest journeys, payment rules, and timing expectations. Gravy allows both to run through the same POS-connected system without forcing the restaurant into separate tools or disconnected workflows.
- One platform supports both dine-in and takeaway flows
- POS integration keeps all orders consistent and centralized
- Routing logic adapts to kitchen, bar, and service needs
- Guests interact with a simple, unified ordering experience
- Staff workload is reduced without losing operational control
Instead of creating tension between dine-in and takeaway, both flows run side by side in a more controlled and scalable way.
Who This Use Case Is Best For
This model is ideal for:
- restaurants combining table service and takeaway
- venues with terrace + indoor seating
- locations with multiple preparation zones (kitchen + bar)
- busy restaurants with overlapping peak demand
- operators looking to scale without increasing staff
If your venue runs multiple service formats at once, a unified QR ordering system can simplify operations and improve performance across the board.
