For small restaurants, cafés & food trucks
Guests order from a QR menu with your name on it. It chimes on your counter. You bill the table, print it, and see tonight's takings. No card readers, no terminals, no contract.
The demo is a real, working restaurant — your own copy, right in your browser.
What no other menu does
Ask the menu
“I’m allergic to cumin — what can I eat?” “What’s not spicy?” It answers from your own recipes and ingredients, suggests dishes with one-tap add, and when it doesn’t know what’s in something it says “ask staff” — it never guesses.
Six languages
Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Tagalog and English — translated the moment you change the menu. The kitchen still gets the order by the dish name it knows.
Split the bill
Each person taps what they had, picks a tip on the food (not the tax), and pays their share straight to your PayPal, Venmo, Cash App or Square.
Your dashboard
Tonight’s takings and orders as they land. Change the menu by just saying it — “out of carnitas, tacos up 50 cents”. A prep note for tomorrow from what actually sold. And a list of regulars who asked for your offers.
One night at your restaurant
Each table has its own QR code, so the order already knows where it's going. Guests add dishes, leave a note — "extra salsa verde" — and send it. No app, no account.
Orders land on any tablet or laptop with the table number in big type and a chime. Accept, then Ready — and the guest watches it move on their own phone.
Every round adds itself to the table. Tax, tip and discount are worked out for you. Print it for the table, then mark it cash, card or paid online.
Takings, tips, cash against card, tax collected and what sold best — tonight, this week, this month. A CSV for your accountant on Pro.
Your brand, not ours
Your logo, your colours and your cover photo on every page a guest sees.
Allergen filter
Guests tap “avoid milk” and those dishes step aside. Dishes you haven’t described are marked “ask staff”.
Change the menu in seconds
New price, sold out, today's special — from your phone, live on every table.
Paid straight to you
Guests can pay your own PayPal, Venmo, Cash App or Square. We never touch the money.
Nothing to install
Works on the phones, tablet or laptop you already have. Any printer for bills.

It only answers from the ingredients and allergens you enter — it never guesses from a dish’s name, says “ask staff” when a dish has no ingredient list, and tells every guest with an allergy to tell their server, because kitchens share equipment. It helps guests choose; it doesn’t replace your staff.
Yes — guests can tick “text me offers” when they order (never ticked for them). You get a list of those regulars with when they agreed, to use in your own texting tool.
Any phone, tablet or laptop with a browser for the counter, and a printer if you want paper. Guests use their own phones.
Yes, if you add your PayPal, Venmo, Cash App or Square link — the money goes straight to you. Or they pay at the counter as they do now, and you mark the bill cash or card.
No. They scan, order, and watch their order on the same page.
