What is a QR code ordering system?
A QR code ordering system is software that lets guests scan the QR code on the table with their phone and place their own order from the menu. It is the QR menu ordering flow, connected to your POS.
In a venue with a table ordering system, guests don't wait for the waiter and the team doesn't rewrite the order. With sipnik Table, an order from the QR code is attached to the table's bill in sipnik POS, and the kitchen ticket prints the same way as any other order.
QR menu vs. QR code ordering: what's the difference?
A QR menu is often just a page to look at. In a QR code ordering system, the same QR code becomes a service.
- Guests build their basketThey send it, follow its preparation, call the waiter and ask for the bill.
- Lands on the table at the POSThe order doesn't sit on a separate screen waiting to be noticed.
- Four languages, table cardsWe cover the QR menu itself and the table cards on the sipnik Table page.
Should orders go to the POS or to the waiter?
That's your choice.
- Café without waitersRequests go to sipnik POS; the cashier checks the lines tagged "Table QR" and adds them to the bill with one tap.
- Restaurant or beach club with waitersThe request goes to the waiter's Android tablet; the waiter confirms it at the table and the order moves to the bill and the kitchen.
Does ordering without a waiter weaken service?
sipnik Table doesn't replace your staff; it frees them from carrying menus, writing down orders and "check, please" rounds.
One tap to the team
Waiter calls and bill requests appear above the table at the POS with a sound alert.
Your team gets back to the guests
