How Server Pagers Work
Server pagers are simple and effective: When a meal is ready, the cook presses a button on a transmitter in the kitchen and then a pager, worn by a server, vibrates silently to call the server to the kitchen.
Transmitters: Transmitters are usually mounted on a wall in the kitchen or prep station. Entering the pager number sends a signal to the corresponding pager that makes the pager vibrate strongly but silently. The server will feel the vibration but there will be no pager sounds heard in your restaurant.
The transmitters are powerful and can easily cover a 15,000 square foot facility.
Multiple Stations: You can call servers to up to nine different locations. Transmitters can be programmed to send distinct signals so pagers vibrate from one to three times per call (i.e., one buzz for the kitchen, two for the bar, and three for cold prep). Lights on the pagers also can show up to nine patterns.
You can also have multiple transmitters in one location so one is always in arm's reach. Transmitters can share IDs (indicated by one to three buzzes).
Server Numbers: The one-touch buttons quickly call pagers 1 through 16. The system is not limited to these-- pager IDs can be 1 through 999 (but IDs above 16 are not one-touch).
Pagers can be programmed to have any ID number from 1 to 999. The transmitter has a pager programming feature so it can quickly change pager IDs as needed. If desired, servers can keep their regular ID no matter which pager they get. If a pager is lost or broken, its ID can easily be given to another.
This system kit includes fiften pagers. You can have any number of wait staff overall but you only need fifteen pagers if you only have fifteen servers on the floor at any given time. Servers can be assigned the pager's ID as pagers are handed out or pagers can be given the server's ID.
It's wise to have spares- additional pagers can be purchased individually. Though the pagers are rugged and can even be dropped fully into water (for a few moments), they may still be taken home or misplaced.
Pager belt holsters are used instead of belt clips. The pagers themselves do not have protruding parts so clips cannot be broken off.
Charger: A 15-pager charger is included with the kit. It has status lights to show charging units. Pagers are fully charged in four hours and then can go up to 60 hours between charges. Pager batteries are good as long as five years.

Transmitter and Cancel Panel Upgrades: The standard transmitter can be upgraded to an enhanced model which features:
- 2 watt transmitter power
- Stainless steel enclosure
- Automatic repaging (if servers are unable to respond in the time allowed)

- Cancel panel: The cancel panel is an additional option that is a separate control panel that servers use to cancel their calls when they pick up their food. (This stops auto repaging.) The cancel panel works only the the transmitter upgrade.
