How does a QR code table menu stay in sync with my POS prices?

Most QR menus are a PDF of last year's printed menu. The prices go stale the day vegetables get dearer, and the guest still has to wave for a waiter to order. SajhiloStay's table QR is wired into the POS itself.

Why it never goes out of date

• There is one menu. Change a price on the POS and every table sees the new price.
• Mark a dish unavailable and it disappears from the table menu until you bring it back.
• Options and extras — size, extra cheese — appear with their prices, exactly as the waiter would see them.

From scan to kitchen

1. Each table has its own QR code, linked to that table and nothing else.
2. The guest scans it — no app to install — and orders.
3. The order reaches the kitchen (and the bar) as a normal ticket, just as if a waiter had entered it.
4. Everyone at the table can add a round from their own phone; it all lands on one table bill.
5. The table can pay by Fonepay QR there and then. If someone adds a round while a QR is on screen, the old QR is refused rather than under-charging.

Rather just read?

The same QR can open a printed-style menu book — laid out like a menu, not a spreadsheet — for tables that would rather order from a waiter. More on that in QR menus for restaurants. Payments are covered in Fonepay QR verification.
