The guest ordering experience
What your customers see when they scan a table QR code — in their language.
2 min read1 guides in this topic
When a guest scans the QR code on their table, they get your menu on their own phone — photos, prices, descriptions — without downloading anything. Here's what that experience is like, and how to shape it.
What guests can do
- Browse the full menu with photos, prices, allergens and calories.
- See nutrition at a glance on items that have it — a kcal · protein · carbs · fat line that turns into a small table on narrow cards, or the style you pick under Menu › Design › Theme, in the Nutrition group (a mini table, a calorie-split bar, protein first or calories only) — and live-updating stat tiles on the item sheet as they pick a size.
- Spot your Featured items by their badge, and in the Featured row at the top of the menu.
- Switch the whole menu to English, Arabic or Kurdish — with proper right-to-left layout for Arabic and Kurdish.
- Get a layout made for their screen: phones scroll the classic menu, while tablets and laptops get a sidebar with your categories and a roomier grid — automatically.
- Never see a dish you've switched off — sold-out items leave the menu until you switch them back.
- Order from their seat (where you've enabled ordering), tied to the right table automatically.
- Call for service with one tap (where you've enabled it) — the table’s waiter gets a buzz on their phone and the table glows on the POS floor; who rings first is set under POS › Settings on the Alerts tab. A short cooldown stops accidental double-taps.
- Ask the AI Host for a recommendation — see the AI Menu Host guide.
Make it yours — the design options
- Start from a ready-made theme, then fine-tune and save your own look — all under Menu › Design (brand and layout on the Look tab; themes, colours, fonts, cards and nutrition on the Theme tab).
- Brand — logo, colour roles (pick any role’s colour directly), and a cover image or a short cover video for a living welcome screen.
- Category bar styles — how main categories and sub-categories render (cards, segmented control, underline — with the underline’s thickness adjustable).
- Menu layout — a tidy list or a more visual grid, per your food.
- Promo slides — a rotating banner at the top for specials and new dishes.
- Service calls — let seated guests ping staff (waiter, bill, water); switched on under Menu › Ordering, only shows on tables with an open check, and you can switch it off per table from the POS.
- A live preview shows every change on a phone frame before you save.
TipTranslations are yours to control — you write the Arabic and Kurdish names and descriptions, so nothing is left to an automatic guess.
