QR code ordering

A QR ordering system guests actually use.

Scan, order, pay — no app install, no waiting to flag a waiter. The order lands straight in the kitchen and stays live on the guest's phone until it's served.

Built to be used at a busy table, not just a demo.

No app, no friction

A guest scans the table QR code and is on the menu in one tap — nothing to download, nothing to sign up for beyond a name and phone number.

Straight into the kitchen

An order placed at the table is the same order the kitchen sees on the KDS — no re-keying, no phone call to the counter, no lag between "placed" and "the kitchen knows."

Live status, not silence

Guests see their order move from placed to preparing to ready right on their phone, so nobody's wondering whether it went through.

Suggestions that fit the cart

A main course gets offered a side or a drink, a hot drink gets offered dessert — never another main. It's ranked off owner rules and real sales history first, with a sensible keyword-based fallback so a brand-new menu still gets relevant suggestions on day one.

Pay from the table, or at the counter

Guests can pay online the moment they're done, or choose pay-at-counter — the bill and its GST invoice are correct either way.

Keeps working on a bad connection

A patchy café Wi-Fi doesn't take ordering down — the menu and an in-flight order recover gracefully instead of showing a blank screen.

Running live, not just in a demo.

KhaoPiyo's first café is Brewora Café in Hisar, Haryana — real guests scanning, ordering, and paying from the table every day.

Frequently asked questions

What is a QR code ordering system?

It's a menu a customer opens by scanning a QR code at their table, then orders and (optionally) pays from directly — instead of waiting to flag down a waiter or being handed a physical menu.

Does the customer need to install an app?

No. The menu opens in their phone's browser. They enter a name and phone number once per café, and that's the only "login" involved.

Does QR ordering work for takeaway too, not just dine-in?

Yes — the same ordering flow supports both dine-in (tied to a table) and takeaway.

Is the order really live in the kitchen, or does staff still re-enter it?

It's the same order end to end. A QR order, a counter POS order, and a waiter's tableside order all run through one order engine, so the kitchen display shows all three the same way — nothing gets manually re-typed.

What happens if a café's Wi-Fi drops mid-order?

The menu and an order already in progress are built to survive a dropped connection rather than fail outright — the customer isn't left staring at an error with a half-placed order.

Can I turn QR ordering off if I only want counter billing?

Yes — QR ordering is one of several optional modules. A café can run counter POS only, dine-in only, takeaway only, or any combination.
