Three steps

## From printed code to written order

The whole loop runs on a sheet of paper and the phone in the guest’s hand.

01

### Print the QR code

Every catalog comes with a QR code you can export and print. Put it on tables, the counter, the shop window, a room card, or a delivery bag.

02

### The guest scans and browses

Their phone camera opens your menu instantly, with photos, prices, categories, and search. No app store, no download, no account.

03

### The order arrives in your chat

They add items to the cart and press send. The full order, with options and a total, lands in your WhatsApp or Telegram as one message.

## Anywhere a customer waits is a place to order

One code, printed as many times as you like, in as many places as you like.

### On the table

Guests order a second round without waiting to catch anyone’s eye, and your staff read it off the phone.

### At the counter or window

A queue outside can start ordering while they wait, and passers-by can browse when you are closed.

### On printed material

Flyers, room cards, price lists, delivery bags. Anything printed becomes a way back to an up-to-date menu.

What you get

## A QR menu that actually takes the order

Same code, same catalog, same dashboard. The ordering part is a toggle, not a separate product.

### Scan to order, not just to read

A QR menu that only shows the menu still leaves someone taking the order. This one carries it through to a sent message.

### The printed code never expires

Change prices, mark items sold out, swap the whole menu for a seasonal one: the same QR code keeps pointing at the current version.

### Less time per order

No repeating the order back, no misheard variants. What the guest picked is what arrives, in writing.

### Designed for phones first

Large photos, thumb-sized controls, instant search. It is the same experience whether they scan at the table or open the link at home.

### Export and reprint anytime

Download your QR code from the dashboard whenever you need a new batch. It is included with every plan.

### No hardware, no tablets

Nothing to buy or mount. Your phone is the order screen and a sheet of paper is the ordering terminal.
