More Applications: Staff and Parent Paging
Restaurant server pager systems are also great general-purpose staff or church nursery pagers. These systems are also often used in healthcare 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 such non-restaurant applications as:
- Staff paging in clinics and medical offices.
- 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.
LRS 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 (“Star” model) are small, discreet, usually silent (but can beep) and are meant to be carried for entire shifts. “Star” pagers are alert-only pagers but we have other system types for sending text. Transmitters (base stations) are one-touch for speed and simplicity and have dry-erase boards that easily relate names to pager numbers.
The main restaurant-specific feature of this system is its extremely durable design – it’s built to withstand the abuse of typical restaurant service and any other use is easy by comparison. This system works beautifully for any business that needs simple and reliable local staff paging.

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. There are twenty numbered one-touch call buttons. Pressing a one-touch button 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.
Transmitters are usually attached to a dry-erase board (included) with numbered spaces for server names written in dry marker or grease pencil. The boards and transmitters together are mounted on the wall with Velcro (also included).
The transmitters are powerful and can easily cover a 15,000 square foot facility.
Transmitters are powered by A/C or rechargeable batteries if there is no convenient power source. They are small, rugged and portable.
Multiple Stations: You can call servers to three 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 show the transmitter call- one, two or three.
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 20. The system is not limited to these-- pager IDs can be 1 through 899 (but IDs above 20 are not one-touch).
Pagers can be programmed to have any ID number from 1 to 899. 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 starter kit system includes twenty pagers. You can have any number of wait staff overall but you only need twenty pagers if you only have twenty 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 pager charger rack 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.
