Cafeterias face a familiar challenge: serving more people during peak times without adding more pressure to the operation. How customers order, how staff manage those orders, and how people pay all directly impact how smoothly a facility runs.

Most cafeterias run on a mix of systems added over time, each one solving a specific problem. However, in AHF’s 2026 research, operators highlighted the need for better ways to connect these touchpoints and create a more coordinated experience for both customers and staff.

This session introduces the Mashgin Cafeteria and how its components work together. We’ll walk through MashTab for ordering and kitchen management, Vision Checkout for AI self-checkout, and Mobile Ordering for a more flexible way to order. We’ll also look at how these components connect with the systems already in place.
