Dragontail’s proprietary Algo System optimises and manages large and complex kitchen operations. The system’s ability to manage large volumes of orders, food preparation tasks and delivery data makes it well suited to the hotel and resort industries where It has a number of potential uses such as helping to manage and optimise room service and in-house Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) operations. 

The Monscierge Connect product line includes solutions for menus & requests; way finding; local recommendations; flights, weather & maps; two-way communication between guests and staff and more.  The Company deploys its solutions through mobile, tablets, large-format touchscreen devices and a central web- based platform that manages property content.

The industry is expected to experience strong growth over the next five years as a result of a steady rise in global travel rates and an increase in travellers’ funds for discretionary purchases.

The Algo system is the perfect solution for these businesses as it allows them to optimise food preparation and delivery to better service their guests and provide an improved all around experience,” said Dragontail Systems’ Chief Executive Officer, Ido Levanon.
