QR menu and table ordering for cafés and restaurants
Guests scan a code on the table, see the menu with photos and prices, order without waiting for a waiter, and the kitchen gets a clear ticket. You keep the tip flow and the upsell — without printing a new menu every week.
What stage one needs
- Menu with categories, prices and sold-out flags you can change yourself.
- Table number from the QR (or a short code the guest types).
- Order sent to kitchen / bar (Telegram, Zalo or a simple printer queue).
- Optional: pay at the table (VietQR or card) or pay at the counter.
- Staff view: open orders, mark ready, mark paid.
What can wait
Loyalty points, reviews, multi-branch inventory, a full native app. Many cafés win with a mobile web menu first; an app (from about $1,000) comes later if regulars return daily.
Cost drivers
| Choice | Impact |
|---|---|
| Languages | Tourist areas need EN / RU / KO / ZH on the same QR. |
| Online payment | Extra gateway work; counter pay is simpler for stage one. |
| Kitchen stations | One ticket vs bar + kitchen split. |
| Photos | Good photos convert; heavy images slow 4G — we compress them. |
A focused QR ordering site sits in the website band (from about $300) plus the order engine scoped after we see your menu size. Timeline often 1–2 weeks, with a test table live early.
