The waiter is already at every table
Guests scan the code on their table and your menu opens on their phone — no app, no sign-up. They order, tip and pay by card right there, or send it to the table's bill. The kitchen has the ticket before they've put the phone down.
A menu guests can actually read
The back office prints a QR code per table. A guest scans it and gets the live menu — photos, allergen warnings, modifiers with price deltas — in whatever browser the phone already has.
- No app install and nothing to type — the table code carries the table number
- 86'd items are already hidden, so nobody orders what you're out of
- Modifiers, a note per item, and a tip before they order
- Live order status on the guest's phone: received → preparing → paid
- Takeaway, kiosk and online-booking modes ship with it
Card on their phone, or on the table's bill
How the money moves depends on which Aura products the venue runs — both paths end in the same reconciled journal.
Pay now, by card
The guest tips and pays in Yoco's hosted card checkout on their own phone — card details never touch Aura. On a standalone QR Ordering venue this is the only path: every order is paid before the kitchen cooks it, so there is no bill to chase.
Add it to the table's bill
At venues with the Restaurant product, guests can instead send the round to their table's open bill. The waiter settles it at the till later — split, tipped and receipted like anything else rung on the floor.
The order lands where the food is made
A guest order is a fired ticket like any other — no separate tablet, no retyping.
Straight to the kitchen
The moment a guest places the order it's on the kitchen display, routed to the right station — Hot, Bar, Pastry — and the table is marked occupied on the floor plan.
Printed from the back office
The back office generates the QR code for every table — print them, laminate them, done. Re-print one code when a table changes; the rest keep working.
One menu, everywhere
The guest menu is the till's menu. 86 an item on the kitchen display and it vanishes from every guest's phone immediately — happy-hour price rules apply server-side, so the till and the QR menu always agree.
On its own, or beside a till
Standalone
No till at all — a market stall, a beer garden, a ghost kitchen. Guests scan, order and pay by card immediately, every time. You run the kitchen display and the back office; the card machine is their phone.
Bundled with Restaurant or Shop
Beside a till, QR Ordering becomes another way to ring the same catalogue — and at Restaurant venues guests get the extra "add to my table's bill" option, settled at the till with the rest of the table.
Scan it for yourself
Book a demo and order off a real table code — or tell us your table count and whether a till sits beside it, and we'll quote it.
