HYDERABAD: For over five decades the Paradise Restaurant in Secunderabad has been a hot spot for connoisseurs of biryani. Quite a few things have changed since the heydays.

One thing that hasn’t, is the taste of what can be termed a Hyderabadi’s staple diet. On an administrative level the eatery has been adopting modern techniques. This time, the restaurant has resolved to arm its waiters with hand-held PDAs.

With the entire restaurant complex hot spotted and a new Wi-Fi online order booking and processing software in place, the 1000-seater restaurant is in for a facelift.

The present DOS-based billing system will be a thing of past after the Ramzan festivities. Once implemented completely, restaurant order booking would be taken on PDAs.

A local company HyperSoft Technologies Limited has developed the software. The company, which primarily makes share broking accounting software, has deployed 14 PDAs at the restaurant besides training the stewards and kitchen staff.

``We would have seven PDAs running at a time. The rest would be on charging mode as these PDAs can run for three hours. We have deployed touch screen monitors at the restaurant’s kitchens,’’ explains Feroze R Bhote, vice-president, HyperSoft.

Orders taken by a steward would be displayed on the touch screen monitor place in the kitchens. The restaurant has a total of five kitchens. The steward can cancel the order within a stipulated time to be decided by the restaurant. Once the orders are placed, the kitchen in-charge can prioritize the items on the touch screen monitor. Once the ordered dish is prepared, the kitchen in-charge puts it on the ready-to-serve list.

``While it speeds up their order-taking process, it can also check pilfering. This is what we observed during the trial period,’’ says Bhote.

The software was run for one month on a trial basis.
