How it works

From Table to Kitchen in Seconds

Print a code per table

Generate a unique QR code for every table from your dashboard — laminate or print onto a table talker, done once.

Guests scan with their own phone

No app store, no download. The live menu opens straight in the browser, always showing current items and prices.

Fewer trips to the table

Guests order and reorder rounds without flagging down a server — staff step in for service, not order-taking.

Orders land on the kitchen display instantly

Every QR order routes to the same kitchen display as POS and online orders — no relaying tickets by hand.

Why it matters

QR Ordering Changes How Guests Spend, Not Just How They Order

9–20%

Typical increase in average check size reported when restaurants move from server-taken orders to QR table ordering, per industry research on digital ordering behavior.

Guests browse at their own pace

Modifiers, sides, and extra rounds are right there in the menu — no social friction from having to flag a server down to ask for "one more thing."

Same menu, every channel

QR ordering shares the same live menu as your online storefront and POS, so a price change or 86'd item updates everywhere at once.

From a real kitchen

“Our Average Ticket Went Up, and We Need Fewer People on the Floor”

Noor Rahimi, Operations Manager at Zamarut Afghan, on switching to QR table ordering: guests order extra drinks and sides on their own from the table, without a staff member ever suggesting it — and with fewer manual order-taking trips required, the floor runs with a leaner team on busy nights.

No commission — QR orders are part of your flat monthly plan, not a per-order fee.

Guests naturally add extras when browsing the menu themselves.

Same menu as your online storefront and POS — one place to update prices.

Works on any phone camera, no restaurant app required.

QR Ordering FAQ

QR Table Ordering Questions, Answered

How does QR table ordering work for restaurants?+
Each table gets a printed QR code. Guests scan it with their phone camera — no app to download — and see your live menu. They order and, if you allow it, pay directly from their phone, and the ticket lands on your kitchen display the moment it's placed.
Do guests need to download an app to order?+
No. QR ordering opens directly in the phone's browser. There is nothing to install for guests or for staff.
Does QR ordering replace waitstaff?+
It replaces the order-taking step, not the table service. Staff are freed up to run food, refill drinks, and handle requests instead of writing down orders — several RestroManage restaurants run their floor with fewer staff on busy nights as a result.
Can guests still order through a server if they prefer?+
Yes. QR ordering is an option, not a requirement — staff can still take orders manually at the table or counter, and both flows land on the same kitchen display and the same bill.
Does QR ordering actually increase average order value?+
It tends to. Industry research on digital table ordering points to average check-size increases in the 9–20% range, largely because guests browse the full menu at their own pace and add extras without needing to flag down a server. Zamarut Afghan saw exactly this pattern after switching.
Can guests pay directly through the QR menu, or just order?+
Both — guests can browse, order, and pay from their phone in one flow if you enable it, or you can keep payment at the table or counter and use QR purely for ordering.
Is there a per-scan or per-order fee for QR ordering?+
No. QR table ordering is included in your flat monthly RestroManage plan — there's no commission or per-order charge on top, unlike marketplace-style ordering apps.
How long does it take to set up QR ordering for my restaurant?+
Once your menu is loaded, generating and printing table QR codes takes minutes from the dashboard — most restaurants are taking QR orders the same day they sign up.
