Customers scan a QR code at their table, browse your menu on their own device, and place their order without touching a shared menu or flagging down a waiter.
Dine In brings a modern contactless table ordering experience to any restaurant running RestroPress. Customers sit down, scan the QR code on their table, and your full menu loads on their phone instantly. They browse, customize, and place their order without any staff interaction for the ordering step.
Order updates are delivered to the customer in real time. The kitchen receives orders exactly as placed, reducing errors from miscommunication. Both offline and online payment methods are supported. The updated version includes a waiter app feature, giving front-of-house staff their own interface to manage dine-in orders.
Activate Dine In in RestroPress settings and set up your table QR codes.
Print and display the generated QR codes at each table.
Customers open the menu on their phone, place their order, and track it in real time.
