Your restaurant runs faster with the right card machine
Dojo Pocket connects your table service to your kitchen. Orders go straight from the handheld to the pass. No walking back to the till, no retyping, no mistakes. Customers pay and tip at the table.
Free terminal. Next-day payouts. We handle the switch from your current provider.
The Friday night problem
Every restaurant owner knows it. The kitchen is backed up, tables are waiting to pay, staff are running between the floor and the till. Orders get lost, food comes out wrong, and your best customers are staring at empty glasses waiting for the bill.

Pocket to kitchen. No till in between.
With Dojo Pocket, your server takes the order at the table and it goes straight to the kitchen display. No walking back to the till. No retyping. No “was that a medium or large?” The kitchen gets exactly what was ordered, the moment it was ordered. Food comes out faster. Fewer mistakes. Less waste.
As one Dojo customer put it: “In our business it's integrated with the till making life easier and quicker for the staff. The tech help is easy to follow and makes set up simple.”
Order at table
Server takes the order on the Dojo Pocket handheld. Menu items, modifiers, special requests - all on screen.
Straight to kitchen
Order fires directly to the kitchen display or printer. No detour via the till. Chef sees it in seconds.
Food out faster
No queue of servers waiting at the till to punch in orders. Kitchen gets a steady flow instead of a backlog.
Pay at table
When the meal is done, the same device takes payment. Split bills, add tips, tap and go. Table cleared faster.

Using Dojo payments has been a game changer for my pizzeria. Bills settled in one quick tableside process. Split bills and takeaway orders are a breeze. Switching was 100% a no brainer.

What actually changes when you switch
Tipping goes up. Staff stay longer.
When the card machine is at the table with a tip prompt on screen, people tip. It's that simple. Staff take home more, they're happier, and you stop losing good people to venues that pay better.
Pay at table. Cut queue times.
No more customers standing at the counter waiting to pay while their table sits empty. Bill, payment, and tip all happen at the table. Tables clear faster, more covers per service, less pressure on staff.
Fewer mistakes. Less food waste.
When orders go from Pocket to kitchen display, the chef sees exactly what was ordered. No misheard specials, no missing modifiers. Less wasted food, fewer comps, happier customers.
Staff do more with less running.
Your servers aren't queuing at the till between courses. They're on the floor where they should be - topping up glasses, checking on tables, upselling desserts. The Pocket handles everything else.
Next-day payouts. Real cash flow.
Most providers take 3-5 days to settle. Dojo pays you the next working day. That means you can pay suppliers faster, cover wage day without sweating, and restock before the weekend rush.

“We had no access to the iPortal for over a year. Every time we had a query we had to call up and wait on hold for hours just to get a transaction report emailed to us. With Dojo, everything is right there.”
