The dining room at rush hour

Overloaded staff, wrong table,
a queue at the counter

At rush hour, everything goes through the same person. The waiter takes an order at one table while two others wait for them to come back. They jot things down fast, keep some in their head, and sometimes the dish lands on the wrong table: the terrace order goes inside, the bar order is left waiting. At the counter, guests who would rather order directly queue up behind people paying. Everyone waits their turn, and your team runs.

QR code table ordering takes part of that work off their hands. Guests order themselves, from their phone, when they are ready. The order reaches you already entered, with the table name clearly shown: nothing to write down, no doubt about where to serve. Your team focuses on what a phone cannot do: cooking, serving, welcoming.

How it works

From the table to the kitchen
in five steps

1. Switch it on

In your settings, switch on dine-in ordering, then the per-table QR code. No hardware to buy.

2. Enter your tables

With the names you already use: Table 1, Terrace 3, Bar... As many tables as you need.

3. Print the sheet

From the QR code page of your account: one QR code per table, the table name written underneath. Cut them out and put them on the tables.

4. The guest scans and orders

Your ordering page opens straight in dine-in mode, with a "Table 3" banner. They pick their dishes and confirm.

5. You receive and serve

The order arrives with the table name in the live order view and the mobile app. With automatic printing (Pro and above), it is printed on the ticket.

A protected table code

Each QR code carries a table code the guest cannot change. Nobody can make up a table number or order as the table next door.

What you gain

Built for the dining room,
simple for the guest

No more wrong tables. The table is no longer written by hand: it comes from the QR code that was scanned. The terrace order arrives marked "Terrace 3", the bar order marked "Bar".

The table name in large type. In the live order view and in the mobile app notification. With automatic printing (Pro plan and above), on the customer ticket and the kitchen ticket.

A shorter queue at the counter. Seated guests order from their seat instead of queuing. The counter stays free for people paying or taking away.

Your current payment methods. Card online when confirming the order if you have online payment switched on, or payment at the restaurant depending on your settings. Nothing new to set up.

No app, in their language. The QR code opens your menu in the phone's browser, with photos, options and allergens. Visiting guests can display it in their own language.

QR code menu or table ordering?

Two uses of the QR code,
two different needs

A QR code menu is a single code, the same everywhere: in the window, at the counter, on a flyer. Guests browse your up-to-date menu and order online, for pickup, delivery or dine-in depending on what you enable. But it does not tell you which table the order comes from.

Table ordering means a different QR code for every table. The guest has nothing to choose: the page opens in dine-in mode, their table is already set, and the order reaches you with the table name. The two work together: the QR code menu in the window for passers-by, the table QR codes in the dining room for seated guests.

Honestly

What table ordering does,
and what it does not

  • It does: one QR code per table, free-text table names, a sheet to print, the ordering page opened in dine-in mode with the table shown, the table name on the order, in the live order view and in the mobile app notification.
  • It does not: pay at the end of the meal from the phone, split the bill, or call a waiter from the phone. The guest pays when ordering (card online) or at the restaurant, depending on your settings.
  • Depending on your plan: the per-table QR code is included everywhere. Automatic ticket printing with the table name requires the Pro plan or above.

💡 Free Starter plan: €0/month for life, no credit card, up to 20 orders per month (table orders included). Automatic printing: Pro at €19.99/month excl. VAT, Premium at €49.99/month excl. VAT. Online card payment: included in Premium, an add-on at €19.99/month excl. VAT on the other plans. 0% commission on every plan.

Frequently asked questions

How does QR code table ordering work?

You switch on dine-in ordering and the per-table QR code in your settings, enter your tables, then print from your account a sheet with one QR code per table, the table name written underneath. The guest scans the QR code on their table: your ordering page opens straight in dine-in mode, with a banner showing their table. They order from their phone and the order reaches you with the table name.

How is it different from a plain QR code menu?

A QR code menu is one code for everyone: guests browse your menu (and order if you allow it), but you do not know which table the order comes from. With table ordering, every table has its own QR code. The order arrives with the table name, and the guest does not have to pick dine-in, it is already set.

How do I name my tables?

However you like: Table 1, Terrace 3, Bar, Back room, Counter... Names are free text. That name is printed under each QR code on the sheet, shown in the banner on the guest's phone and displayed on the order on your side.

Can a guest pretend to be another table?

No. The table code inside each QR code is protected: a guest cannot edit the link to make up a table number or order as the table next door. Only QR codes generated from your account are recognised.

Where does the table name show up for the restaurant?

In the live order view, in the notification of the restaurant mobile app and on the order itself. With automatic ticket printing, available on the Pro plan and above, it is also printed in large type on the customer ticket and the kitchen ticket.

How does the guest pay?

With the payment methods you already offer. If online payment is switched on (included in the Premium plan, an add-on at €19.99/month excl. VAT on the other plans, Starter included), they pay by card when they confirm the order. Otherwise, or if they prefer, they choose to pay at the restaurant, depending on your settings. There is no pay-at-the-end-of-the-meal from the phone and no bill splitting.

Can the guest call a waiter or ask for the bill from their phone?

No. Table ordering is for ordering: there is no call-waiter button, no bill request and no bill splitting. Your floor staff keep that role, as they do today.

Do guests need to install an app?

No, neither you nor your guests. The QR code opens your ordering page in the phone's browser. No app to download, no customer account to create.

How much does QR code table ordering cost?

Nothing beyond your plan: the per-table QR code is included in every plan, including the free Starter plan at €0/month (up to 20 orders per month, table orders included, no credit card). Automatic ticket printing requires the Pro plan (€19.99/month excl. VAT) or above. 0% commission on every order.

Do I have to drop my paper menu or my waiters?

No. The QR code on the table is an extra way to order, not an obligation. Guests who prefer to order from a waiter or at the counter keep doing so, and both work side by side in the same dining room.
