Over the grinder
Let the name stay visible
A first name, last initial and ticket number stay on the TV after the name is called once and lost under the grinder.
Order ready screen for coffee shops
Keep the barista on the bar, not answering the same question.
When nobody hears the name over the grinder and mobile-order guests crowd the espresso machine, one visible Making and Ready board gives everyone the same answer. Square-connected or on any register.

The 8:15 rush
Three things the board fixes in a rush.
At the pickup ledge
Move waiting guests off the bar
A Ready column gives mobile and counter guests somewhere useful to look besides the barista pulling shots.
Between rushes
Keep exceptions simple
Eligible Square orders arrive automatically. A phone order or a remade drink takes staff two seconds to add.
Which screen, and where.
Any TV with a browser, a spare iPad, or a $35 streaming stick. Two common coffee shop setups:
Compact neighborhood café
- One Full board behind the pickup ledge
- Name plus ticket number for a noisy bar
- A countertop tablet where a wall TV is too much
- Pickup Signal Clean as the first layout
High-volume espresso bar
- Ready-only screen facing mobile pickup
- A second Making screen near production
- Large type sized for the viewing distance
- Estimated waits from your prep times and staffing
Works with the register you already run.

What coffee shop owners ask first.
Will my baristas actually tap it?
It is one tap per drink, and it replaces a job they already do: answering "is mine ready?" out loud all shift. If someone forgets, the order simply stays in the making column.
Does it work with mobile orders?
Yes. Square mobile and online orders arrive the same way counter orders do, so the person who ordered from the app sees their name on the same board as the walk-in.
What about shouting names like we do now?
Keep doing it. The board is the backup the grinder cannot drown out, and the reason nobody has to shout twice.
Do we need to buy a TV?
Usually not. Any TV with a browser, or a spare iPad set to Ready only. Ask before you buy anything and we will tell you exactly what works.
Give the coffee line one place to look.
Try the board through your next two busy weekends without changing the register.
