Overview
 FoodSoftware.com offers you complete professional staff and guest paging kits for the lowest prices anywhere.
This economical, general purpose paging system by ARCT is typically used in restaurant, office, church nursery, clinical and industrial applications where inconspicuous pagers for staff, guests, parents or patients may be kept and used for hours or all day. The system features a transmitter with twenty one-touch button for easy operation and hard-to-ignore staff pagers that alert with vibration, sound and lights. Easy to install, there is no wiring, construction or programming necessary.
- Locate staff, patients or nursery parents quickly and economically.
- Ensure privacy by eliminating the need to use a PA system.
- Pager response is immediate because the transmitter signals pagers directly instead of using national pager networks which may bog down.
- No monthly charges because no outside services are used.
- Increase staff productivity, knowing that they can be signaled when needed or not forced to stand by for meetings that do not start on time.
- Give parents and patients freedom to roam and peace of mind by knowing they will be reached as soon as necessary without constantly checking in.
- Enhance the atmosphere of your waiting areas by reducing noise.
In restaurants, use this system to page servers and enjoy these benefits:
- Reduce kitchen and dining room noise and chatter.
- Prevent slow or forgotten orders.
- Reduce kitchen and dining room noise and chatter.

No installation or programming required: Our pagers arrive at your location ready to use. Just set the devices where they belong, plug the power supplies into your wall sockets and you're good to go.
Typical Applications: Office Staff, Restaurant Server and Parent Paging
These systems are most often used in healthcare, foodservice, manufacturing facilities and church nurseries and countless other situations where there is a need to discreetly page staff or parents attending church service. This system is commonly used in applications such as:
- Staff paging in clinics and medical offices.
- Restaurant server (waitstaff) paging.
- Parent paging in church day care centers.
- Staff paging at day spas.
- Staff paging at auto repair centers.
- Staff paging in factories and offices.
- Staff paging in animal care facilities.
These staff pagers are great for use in business and medical offices, church nurseries, and on manufacturing floors and are widely used for such. Staff pagers are small, discreet and are meant to be carried for entire shifts. Transmitters (base stations) are one-touch for speed and simplicity and have dry-erase button labels so you can mark names by the pager buttons.
How Local Paging Works
Pagers are numbered and you simply write down names on the button labels of the transmitter by the pager number. The transmitter has twenty one-touch buttons that you simply press like a doorbell to signal a pager. For example, to signal pager 12, just press the "12" button. The transmitter sends radio signals directly to the pager and the pager is set off immediately. Pagers go off for up to ten seconds unless cancelled. Pagers may be signaled repeatedly. No phone lines are required and no national pager network is involved to slow operations down or create monthly charges.
 For office and clinic staff service, simply hand out pagers and write names by the call buttons on the transmitter. Press the one-touch buttons when you need to alert staff.
For restaurant waitstaff service, give servers and managers pagers and write their names by the transmitter buttons at the start of their shifts. Mount the transmitter by the kitchen pass-through window and press the one-touch buttons to call servers when food is ready.
For church nursery service, give parents a pager when they drop their child off at the nursery. Write names by the transmitter's page buttons. When you need parents, just press the one-touch buttons and they will be alerted without disrupting the service.
Pagers are normally returned to their chargers when done with them and they normally stay in their charges at all times they are not in use (and never overcharge). When ACRT pagers are out of the charger, they can be on standby for up to five days.
Staff pagers are usually used to send simple signals that may mean "go to the receptionist", "your food is up", "go to the nursery" or "call the operator". When signaled, ARCT staff pagers beep, flash or vibrate for up to ten seconds or until stopped. There are three alert patterns that can be selected from the transmitter at will for message flexibility. Pagers are signaled as easily as pressing a doorbell and call buttons can be pressed repeatedly if needed. (Standard staff pagers do not display text messages.)
