FastQRMenu gives cafes a lightweight way to accept browser orders from tables, window seats, or shared links while keeping prices and sold-out items current.

Best fit

This workflow is most useful when the venue needs a lightweight ordering layer rather than a full POS replacement.

  • Table-service cafes and coffee shops
  • Counter-service venues that want a shareable menu link
  • Teams that change drinks, prices, or availability often

Service flow

Keep the process visible and test it from the guest's phone before using it during service.

  • Organize drinks, food, and seasonal items into clear categories.
  • Place table-specific QR codes where table service is offered.
  • Share the public menu link for counter or pre-arrival browsing.
  • Use the order board to separate new, preparing, and ready orders.

What it improves

These are direct product capabilities, not promised revenue or labour-saving percentages.

  • Fast availability updates
  • Table and shared-link ordering
  • Optional WhatsApp pickup and delivery from the shared link
  • Works on existing phones, tablets, and laptops

What to plan around

FastQRMenu is deliberately clear about the functions it does not replace today.

  • No automatic receipt-printer routing
  • No integrated online payment
  • Busy counters still need a clear staff handoff process

Plan guidance

Starter is the practical starting point for cafes with more than 3 tables or a menu larger than 15 items. Pro supports up to 30 table QR codes.

FAQ

QR ordering for cafes that need a faster browser-based queue FAQ

What is FastQRMenu?+

FastQRMenu is browser-based menu and ordering software for restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, bakeries, food trucks, and local shops. Table-service businesses can assign a QR code to each table and receive orders in a live dashboard. No-table businesses can publish one storefront link for WhatsApp pickup and delivery.

Does FastQRMenu replace a paper menu?+

It can replace printed menu pages and repeated reprinting when prices or availability change. Table-service businesses still print their QR codes. WhatsApp storefront businesses can share the public link digitally without printing anything.

Do guests need an app or an account?+

No. Customers open a table QR code or shared storefront link, browse in their phone browser, add items, and check out. There is no customer app download or account creation.

How do I set up a business?+

Create an owner account, add the business profile and branding, then choose Table ordering, WhatsApp storefront, or Both. Publish menu categories and items. Table businesses create QR codes; WhatsApp storefronts add their destination number and enable pickup, delivery, or both.

Does every table get a different QR code?+

Yes when table ordering is enabled. Each table has a unique QR token so the order reaches the dashboard with the correct table. WhatsApp storefront businesses do not need to create any tables.

Can guests open the menu without scanning a table QR code?+

Yes. Every business has a public menu link. In table mode, customers can browse first and resolve their table at checkout. In WhatsApp storefront or hybrid mode, the plain public link supports pickup and delivery without table selection.
