Early access is invite-only, a few restaurants at a time, and we set each one up ourselves.

Which one are you? Table-service restaurant Food truck or counter

The guest menu on a phone: dishes with photos, descriptions and prices, a quantity stepper on the two already in the order, and a Review order & pay bar at the bottom.

What your guests see

Scan, browse, customise, pay.

Four screens, on their own phone, with nothing to download. Real screenshots of the ordering flow, not a mock-up.

  1. The screen a guest lands on after scanning a table's QR code: the restaurant's wordmark above a dimmed photo of its food, Table 3, a Start ordering button in the restaurant's colours, and beneath it Set dietary needs first and Show me around.
    01Scan the code
  2. The guest menu under the restaurant's wordmark: a search field with filter and sort buttons, a row of section chips for Starters, Mains, Desserts and Drinks, then the Starters band and each dish with its photo, description, price and diet badges. The two dishes already in the order show a quantity stepper instead of Add, and a Review order & pay bar along the bottom shows 2 items and the total.

  3. A cheeseburger opened from the menu: its photo shown large, the description, its allergens and ingredients, a required choice of side with sweet potato fries picked, and a quantity stepper beside an Add to order button showing the running total.
    03Customise the dish
  4. The payment screen under the restaurant's wordmark: the order total with tax, a Google Pay button, Pay by card, and a third option to pay in cash at the counter.

What your team sees

One console for the menu, the pass, and the till.

Screenshots from the console with a sample menu: the menu editor, the orders list, the fulfilment board, the take-payment queue and the QR codes.

  • The console Items page: every dish with its thumbnail photo, description, category, base price and the menus it is on, with search, filters and an Actions menu on each row.

    Menu editing

    Items with photos, categories, prices and the customisation groups attached to them.

  • The bulk tagging screen: progress bars for dietary tags, allergens reviewed and spice level, then a table of dishes with their tags and allergens.

    Dietary tags and allergens, in bulk

    Answer one question across the whole menu — which items are vegan, what contains nuts — instead of opening every dish.

  • The orders page: the most recent orders listed newest first with order number, table, status badge, items, time and total.

    Live orders

    Every order with its number, table, items and status. Updates itself when a guest orders.

  • The kitchen board on a tablet: tickets in New, Working and Up lanes, each with its table, order number, items, chosen options and the guest's notes, and Accept, Start, Done and Delivered buttons.

    The fulfilment board

    Tickets in arrival order with each item's customisations and the guest's own notes. Each one moves from New to Working to Up as the kitchen gets through it.

  • The take payment queue on a tablet: two orders waiting with their items and totals, each with Settle and Cancel buttons.

    Take payment at the counter

    Orders paid in cash wait here until someone takes the money. The kitchen doesn't see them until they're settled.

  • The QR codes page: a grid of table cards, each with its QR code, table number, the link it opens and the menu it offers.

    Tables and QR codes

    One code per table, printed from the browser.
