Remote Butler
Ospătar la Distanță (Remote Waiter) is a platform connecting restaurants, waiters, and international clients worldwide. It aims to solve staffing challenges for restaurants by providing remote waiters who can serve clients in their native language, thereby reducing staff costs and increasing upselling opportunities. Waiters can work online from anywhere, choose their hours, and select restaurants, earning a percentage of the bill. The platform facilitates this connection through video calls, allowing waiters to explain menus and take orders, which are then processed by the restaurant's staff.
