QR code: order and pay at the table

Guests scan the QR code on the table, order with their own smartphone and pay right away if they like – no app needed. The order goes straight to the till and kitchen.

Your team saves walking and has more time for guests. We set this up for leafsystems, HIOPOS and Lightspeed and adapt the process to your business.

In short: With the QR code on the table, guests order with their own phone and pay right away if they like – no app, and the order goes straight to the till and kitchen. Possible with leafsystems, HIOPOS and Lightspeed. The cost depends on the POS system and on whether paying by phone is added.

Why QR code at the table?

Fewer trips, more time for your guests.

Order whenever the guest wants

When it’s busy, guests often wait longer for the service than for the food: first for the menu, then to order, and finally for the bill. The second drink or the dessert simply doesn’t happen.

With the QR code on the table, guests open the digital menu on their own phone – without an app. They order when they’re ready and, depending on the process, can pay straight away. Your team brings the food, clears the tables and has time for guests instead of carrying orders back and forth.

Your benefits at a glance

  • Shorter waiting times, even when the service is at full stretch
  • More repeat orders for drinks and desserts
  • Less walking for your team
  • Orders go straight to the till and kitchen without retyping
  • Digital menu with photos, allergens and several languages

How the QR code at the table works

From scanning to paying in four steps – the guest doesn’t need an app.

1. Scan the QR code

There is a QR code on every table, for example as a table stand or sticker. The guest scans it with their phone camera and the menu opens in the browser – the table number is already stored.

2. Order at leisure

The guest browses the menu with photos and descriptions, chooses extras and sends the order. Reordering works any time via the same code.

3. Straight to the till and kitchen

The order appears immediately in the till and on the kitchen display or receipt printer – with the table number. Nobody has to retype anything.

4. Pay

Depending on the system and process, the guest pays on their phone when ordering or at the end as usual with the service staff. With Lightspeed this also works via a QR code on the bill.

Where the QR code pays off

Typical businesses

In practice

  • Café am See, Titisee: ordering and paying by smartphone on the lakeside terrace
  • Yepa Yepa, Freiburg: QR code ordering in addition to the self-order terminal
  • Classic table service remains possible – guests choose how they order

We set up your QR code

We create the digital menu with you, generate the QR codes for your tables and connect everything to the till, kitchen and card payment. If you like, we combine the QR code with the Self-order kiosk or with pagers for pick-up.

Then we test the process with your team – and you have a fixed contact person if your menu or prices change.

Frequently asked questions about the QR code

1. Do my guests need an app?

No. The QR code opens the menu directly in the smartphone’s browser. The normal phone camera is all they need.

We implement ordering and paying by QR code with leafsystems, HIOPOS and Lightspeed. We clarify which option suits your business during the consultation.

Not necessarily. Depending on the system and process, guests pay straight away on their phone or at the end with the service staff as usual. We decide this with you.

A Lightspeed feature: the printed bill has a QR code. The guest scans it, sees their bill on the phone and pays – split and with tip too.

No. It saves your team walking, for example for repeat orders. Guests can still order from the service staff as usual.

The menu comes from your till. If you change prices or remove a dish, guests see it immediately the next time they scan.

That depends on the POS system and the scope, for example whether paying by phone is added. We calculate it for your business.
