🚧 Table Ordering: Set-Up & Menu Management
Create a unique Table Ordering store for each of your locations so guests can order directly from their table via a link or QR code.
Below are 6 steps to customise your Table Ordering menu and get service-ready.
Step 1 – Set up your Table Ordering menu
Create categories and products that match your on-site offering (e.g. Drinks, Bar Snacks, Mains, Desserts).
📝Note
You can have a unique menu and pricing specifically for Table Ordering per location. Learn how to manage different pricing per delivery/pickup/table ordering here.
Step 2 – Reorder categories to match your service style
Once your products are set up, rearrange your categories so they reflect how guests naturally browse your menu. For example:
- List “Drinks” and “Bar Snacks” before “Mains” or “Sides”.
- Mirror the sections and order of your printed menu for guest continuity.
💡Tip: Use variants and modifiers to mimic your real-life menu
- For a Gin and Tonic, use variants like “Single” and “Double”.
- For a burger, use modifiers to upsell sides and sauces.
Step 3 – Configure inventory and opening times
Set your inventory and opening/closing times for Table Ordering. All menu and location settings can be edited and updated live during service.
If you run out of an item during service, quickly mark it as Out of stock from your tablet so guests can no longer order it.
Step 4 – Enable tips
Make sure your staff can be rewarded by guests with tips at checkout.
You can customise the tipping values displayed at checkout to match your service style. Learn how to enable tipping here.
Step 5 – Place your QRs on tables
Print and stick the Table Ordering QR codes on your tables. Each QR takes guests to the unique Table Ordering URL for that specific location, where they can scan using their phone camera to browse the menu, order and pay.
Tip:
Ensure table numbers or identifiers are clearly visible to guests (on the table or nearby) so they can select the correct table when ordering.
Step 6 – Manage Table Orders in service
When live, on-premise table orders will be sent to your tablet to process. Here you can see:
- Table identifier
- Order details
- Customer information
If you use one of our POS integrations, table orders can automatically flow into your till, printing as tickets for your bar or back-of-house team.
