QR code ordering for bars

Guests scan the code on their table and order drinks and snacks from their phone, wherever they sit. Your team gets an orders list that fills on its own instead of rounds called out over the noise.

What your team sees in the orders list

Place an order on the phone. This panel then shows it as your team sees it in the orders list.

This demo shows both sides at once. In QckOrder, new orders appear on your team's list by themselves within about 15 seconds, and guests see status changes on their order page without doing anything.

Where a busy bar slows down

  • Three deep at the bar and nobody can see the menu

    The full drinks menu opens on the guest's phone. They read it and order without leaving their seat.

  • Rounds get shouted over the music and forgotten

    Each order carries its items, a note, the table and a 6-character order number. Your team works from the orders list instead of memory.

  • The drinks list changes with the night

    Change a price or swap a beer in the dashboard and the next scan shows it. Mark a drink sold out in one tap. Changes are made by hand, not on a schedule.

How QR ordering works in a bar

  1. Guests scan and read the menu

    The code on the table or the bar opens your drinks and snacks menu. No app, no account.

  2. Your team works the orders list

    New orders appear in the orders list on their own, with a sound. Staff accept an order and move it on to preparing and ready, then mark it paid, by cash or card.

  3. Guests check their order

    The order page shows the number and the status, and it updates on its own while the page is open.

Where the code goes

Each table can have its own code, and the bar has one more. Print as many copies as you need.

  • Tables

    A card or sticker with the table's code lets seated guests order, and the table shows on the order.

  • The bar

    Guests at the bar can order from the phone instead of waiting to catch a bartender's eye.

  • Door or window

    People outside can read the drinks menu before they decide to come in.

Would it cover its cost at your venue?

Enter your own numbers to see how many QR orders it takes to cover a plan and the 1% on completed orders, based on the staff time you spend taking orders.

Your estimate

If guests placed those orders by QR instead of staff taking them, that is about 39 hours a month, worth $663 at your rate, against $329.80 for Growth: the plan price plus 1% of the value of those completed orders.

How this is calculated
  • QR orders per month = orders per day × days open × QR share
  • Staff hours = QR orders per month × minutes per order ÷ 60
  • Value of time = staff hours × staff cost per hour
  • QckOrder cost = plan price + QR orders per month × average order value × 1%
  • Break-even orders = plan price ÷ (minutes per order ÷ 60 × staff cost − average order value × 1%)

Bar QR ordering: questions

Can guests order drinks from their table with a QR code?

Yes. They scan the code on the table, browse your drinks and snacks in the phone browser and place the order. With a table code, the table number shows on the order.

Does QR ordering work when the bar is full?

Guests browse and order on their own phones at the same time, instead of one by one at the bar. Your team still prepares and serves every order, and can pause ordering for the location if it gets too busy. How much it helps depends on your venue.

Can I change prices for part of the day?

You can edit prices in the dashboard at any time and the next scan shows them. Scheduled price changes are not built in, so you make the change by hand.

Do guests need an app or an account?

No. They scan the code and the menu opens in the browser. They do not give a name, email or phone number to order.

How do guests pay for drinks?

They pay the venue as usual, by cash or card. Your team marks the order as paid in the dashboard. QckOrder does not process payments.

Does it check guests' age for alcohol?

No. QckOrder does not check age. Your staff stay responsible for checking ID when they serve alcohol, as they do today.
