What is a QR ordering system for restaurants in India?
A practical guide to QR table ordering for Indian restaurants — how it works with kitchen display, POS, GST, and UPI, and what to look for before you go live.
What is a QR ordering system?
A QR ordering system lets guests scan a code at the table (or counter), open your live menu on their phone, and place an order without downloading an app. For Indian restaurants, the useful version is not a PDF menu — it is an ops spine that sends the order to kitchen display and POS.
How the guest flow works
- Guest scans a table QR or restaurant QR.
- Menu opens in the mobile browser with prices, modifiers, and veg cues.
- Guest places the order after sharing contact details.
- Kitchen sees the ticket; floor and POS stay in sync.
What Indian restaurants should require
- Table-aware QR so dine-in orders land on the right table.
- Kitchen display so the pass is not running on WhatsApp screenshots.
- POS + GST-ready billing for day close the way Indian outlets actually run.
- UPI-style checkout when you want takeaway/prepaid; dine-in can still pay at the table.
Digitable’s approach
Digitable is built as one system from table → kitchen → bill: QR guest ordering, waiter floor tools, kitchen display, POS, and admin. India-first pieces include GST billing, UPI-style checkout, and WhatsApp OTP when you connect messaging.
Getting started
Most teams can go live the same day: claim your restaurant URL, import a menu, place tables, download the QR kit, and run a test order. Start free at digitable.in/register.
