What is a Guest Paging System?
A guest paging system (also known as restaurant pager, guest buzzer, or guest paging set) is a wireless solution that notifies guests when their order is ready for pickup.
Main components:
-
Transmitter unit: the control panel at the counter.
-
Receiver unit: the pager handed to the guest.
When the order is ready, the staff presses a button to activate the guest’s pager, which alerts them via vibration, lights, or sound.
