QR ordering — customers order from the table
The same scan that opens your menu can place the order. It arrives at the counter against the table it came from, so nobody has to walk over to write it down first.
How an order actually travels
Each table has its own code. A customer scans it, browses, chooses, and sends the order. It appears on the till and, where you use one, on the kitchen screen — already attached to that table, with the options and the notes they chose.
Nothing about that removes your staff from the room. It removes the trip to the table to take down what somebody already knows they want, which is the part of the job that scales badly at seven o’clock on a Friday.
The table keeps one bill
Orders placed by QR and orders your staff put in at the till land on the same table session. Somebody who scans, orders a starter, then asks a waiter for another drink has one bill at the end and not two.
When the table is done, the bill is settled at the counter the way it always was — Ordery does not take the customer’s payment.
Collection and delivery from the same page
The same public page can take an order from somebody who is not sitting down: collection for a customer coming to the counter, or delivery where you run your own. Those arrive in the same queue as everything else, marked for what they are.
You stay in control of what is on
- Ordering can be switched off for a location at any time — a kitchen that is overwhelmed stops taking new orders and the menu stays readable.
- An item that has run out stops being orderable at that location.
- Orders are accepted or rejected by your staff. Nothing is committed to the kitchen without a person.
FAQ
Questions
Does the customer pay in the app?
No. Ordery does not process diner payments. The order reaches your till; the customer settles with you exactly as they do now.
What stops somebody ordering for a table they are not sitting at?
An order is tied to the table code that was scanned, and your staff accept every order before the kitchen sees it.
Can we still take orders the normal way?
Yes, and most restaurants do both. QR ordering is another way an order can arrive, not a replacement for your staff.
See it with your own menu
Creating an account costs nothing and takes a few minutes. Add a location, put your menu in, and print a QR code for one table before you decide anything.
