Taking table orders with a QR code

How to enable table ordering from your QR menu: per-table QR, live kitchen reception, and takeaway orders paid on pickup.

Beyond displaying the menu, a QR menu can take orders. The guest scans, picks their dishes and sends the order, which arrives live in your dashboard.

One QR code per table

Generate a distinct QR per table: the table number auto-fills on the order, and your staff immediately knows where to serve. You print the whole series at once.

Kitchen reception and full-screen mode

Orders arrive with a sound alert and a full-screen kitchen mode. Payment happens at the counter: no online-payment friction, no per-transaction commission.

Takeaway orders

Enable takeaway too: the customer orders from the menu and pays on pickup. Each order shows the name, phone and an estimated prep time.
