ABSTRACT:
The tabletop signaling device for restaurants comprises a tabletop signaling device for visually signaling at least one of a plurality of messages to a waiter or waitress quickly and wordlessly, without requiring the service provider to physically respond and inquire to the requested service. The signaling device includes a plurality of light sources and switches for illuminating vertically spaced panels disposed on the front of the signaling device, each panel having predetermined and distinct indicia disposed thereon for signaling a specific message. A table available button disposed on the tabletop signaling device operates to illuminate a corresponding lamp disposed on a remote display panel for signaling the availability of the table. The lamps on the remote display panel may be arranged according to the location of the tables on the floor of the restaurant.
