How QR menu ordering works
- 1Each table gets its own QR code, printed on a small stand or sticker.
- 2The guest scans the code with their phone camera.
- 3Your menu opens with categories and prices.
- 4The guest picks items and places the order for that table.
- 5Your staff see the new order and send it to the kitchen.
Benefits for the restaurant
- Guests can order the moment they sit down, even when all waiters are busy.
- Fewer order mistakes, because guests choose items themselves.
- No reprinting menus when prices change: update once and it shows on every phone.
- Waiters spend more time serving and less time writing orders.
Benefits for guests
- No waiting to catch a waiter’s attention.
- Time to read the full menu and see prices clearly.
- Easy to add another item later from the same table.
Tips to set it up well
- Keep dish names clear and group them in simple categories.
- Remove items that are not available, so guests do not order them.
- Place the QR code where every guest can see and reach it.
- Print the table number next to the QR code.
- Train staff to check new QR orders quickly and greet the table.
Tip: Keep a printed menu or a waiter available for guests who prefer ordering the usual way. QR ordering works best as an option, not a rule.
Common concerns
Some owners worry that QR ordering removes the personal touch. In practice, waiters still greet guests, serve food and help with choices, they just stop writing every order by hand. Others worry about older guests: offering both QR and waiter ordering solves this.
