Abstract
Systems and methods for managing voice communication channels used by a crew of employees in a quick-service restaurant are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: electronically store information, wherein the information represents associations of individual voice communication channels with one or more communication groups, wherein individual ones of the one or more communication groups are specific to one or more roles of employees in the quick-service restaurant; receive device-specific packets from end-user communication devices associated with crew members, wherein the packets include packetized uplink information based on audio information captured by the communication devices, wherein individual packets are targeted to individual communication groups; generate and transmit downlink packets that include packetized downlink information that is organized in a set of broadcast channels for audio information that was targeted to specific communication groups.
