OUTFLOW Systems Technology builds operating systems for work that happens in real time — the kitchen in the middle of service, the list in the middle of a call. We write and maintain everything we sell. Both products are in production.
One runs a restaurant while service is happening. The other runs a team while they are working through a list. Different rooms, same problem — the people doing the work need the screen to keep up with them.
An operating system for restaurant service. An order reaches the station that makes it in about 200 milliseconds — roughly one blink. Floor, kitchen, bar, counter and the owner's view, all moving at once.
The spreadsheet your team works from, made live. One swipe from the row to the call, messages that fill themselves in — and a tracker that counts whether the number moved, not how many calls were made.
Relay runs a whole service across five screens in a working restaurant — orders, kitchen, bar, payment and the owner's view — every day it is open.
Circuit has been carried on live lists by dozens of people every working day for over a year — built inside the job it was made for, not designed at a distance from it.
Both products are written and supported by the team that owns them. Nothing is licensed in from somewhere else and re-badged, so when something needs to change, it changes.
A payment cannot happen before the food is out. Contact locks at 9PM and nobody can override it, at any level. When a rule is important enough to write in a manual, it is important enough to build into the software — where it holds by itself.
An order reaches the station that makes it in about 200 milliseconds — roughly one blink. That number matters for a reason that is not technical: the moment staff can feel the system keeping up, they stop double-checking it, and the double-checking is where the time actually went.
Phones, tablets, whatever is already in the shop or in the team's hands. Nothing to install, no hardware project, no engineer coming out to site. There is exactly one exception — the counter needs an Android tablet for the receipt printer — and we say so on the page rather than in the contract.
Relay does not track food cost. Circuit is not an accounting system and will not build your list for you. Both product pages say so out loud, in the FAQ, before you have paid anything. Finding out afterwards is worse for you and worse for us.
Twenty minutes on a call. Tell us how the work moves today — the chits, the shouting, the spreadsheet, whatever it actually is — and we will show you the matching product running, using your own menu or your own list. If neither one fits, we will say so.
