QR ordering for restaurants: a setup checklist

QR ordering works best when the basics are ready before the dinner rush. Use this checklist the day before you go live.

Menu

• Categories are in the order guests expect.
• Veg and non-veg marks are correct on every dish.
• Prices and photos are up to date.
• Anything not available today is marked sold out.

Tables and floor

1. Add every table and print one QR per table.
2. Stick the QRs where guests can scan them without moving plates.
3. Test one order from your own phone at each section of the floor.

Kitchen and counter

• A tablet or TV runs the kitchen display, and someone has watched a test ticket move from new to ready.
• The 80mm printer prints a test KOT and a test bill.
• The GSTIN and the tax rate are set on the bill. Confirm the rate with your accountant.
• The UPI QR on the bill shows the exact amount.

Team

Give the owner, cashier, waiter and kitchen their own logins so each person sees only their screen. Decide whether staff should approve QR orders before they reach the kitchen.
