QR code ordering for cafes

Guests scan one code at the counter, the window or their seat and order from their phone. Your team works from one orders list instead of calling orders across the counter.

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 the morning rush slows down

  • The line forms before the first cup is made

    Guests can read the menu and place an order from their phone while they wait. Staff can spend less of the rush taking orders by voice.

  • Your seasonal menu changes faster than the printer

    Keep a second menu ready, such as breakfast or seasonal, and switch which one is active at your location.

  • Regulars forget what they had last time

    Past orders are listed on the same phone, so a guest can look back at what they ordered before.

How QR ordering works in a cafe

  1. Guests scan at the counter or seat

    A code on the counter, the window or each table opens your menu in the phone browser. No app needed.

  2. They pick drinks and pastries

    Photos, descriptions and prices are all on the phone. Guests add a note, such as which name to call, and send the order.

  3. They check the status

    Your team moves the order to ready. The order page shows the new status on its own, so guests do not need to reload it.

Where the code goes

The counter and the window share one cafe code, and each table can have its own. Print copies for every spot where guests wait or sit.

  • Counter

    Put it by the register or on the pastry case so guests in line can scan and order.

  • Tables

    A small card with the table's own code on every table, so seated guests order without getting up and your team sees the table.

  • Window or door

    Guests outside can read the menu before they join the line.

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.

The starting values are examples, not statistics, and they change with the venue type picked above. Replace them with yours. Enter the orders of one venue; Pro covers up to three, so compare it with their orders added together.

Your estimate

If guests placed those orders by QR instead of staff taking them, that is about 70 hours a month, worth $1,190 at your rate, against $245 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%)

A plan that fits one cafe

Starter

For one venue with a small team getting started with QR ordering.

Starter covers one location, two user accounts and a menu in two languages. That is a sensible start for a single cafe.

Only completed orders count; cancelled orders do not. The 1% is calculated per calendar month and invoiced monthly. QckOrder does not collect guest payments: guests pay your venue.

Cafe QR ordering: questions

Can customers order takeout with a QR code?

Yes. A guest can order from the line or from outside and collect at the counter when the status says ready. There is no separate takeout setting, so guests can say so in the order note.

Can a QR menu handle milk and sugar options?

Not as built-in options. Today guests add a free-text note to the order, such as oat milk, and your team reads it. Items do not have variants or extras.

Can QR ordering shorten the line at the counter?

It can reduce how many orders staff take by voice, because guests order on their own phones while they wait or after they sit down. Your team still makes and hands over every order, and the effect depends on your venue.

Do guests need an app or an account?

No. They scan the code and the menu opens in the browser. Their past orders stay on the same phone.

How do guests pay in a cafe?

They pay the venue as usual, by cash or card. Your team marks the order as paid in the dashboard.

Can I change the menu for the season?

Yes. Edit items and prices in the dashboard, or build a second menu and make it the active one for your location. Guests see it on their next scan.
