A QR ordering system your restaurant can actually run on.
Dines turns every table in your restaurant into an ordering counter. Guests scan the sticker on their table, browse a live menu on their own phone, add exactly what they want and place the order — all without waiting for a waiter to be free.
The order appears instantly on your kitchen display and a ready notification is routed to the correct waiter the moment it’s plated. It’s the same operational pattern the fastest-moving restaurants already run — without the paper tickets or the shouting across the pass.
What you get
One QR per table
Every table has its own permanent code. Session, guest count and order history are always scoped to that table.
No app download
Guests scan and land straight on your live menu in the browser. No installs, no logins, no friction.
Real-time menu
Change prices, mark items sold-out or turn on a new special — every phone at every table updates instantly.
Dietary + tags
Filter by veg, vegan, gluten-free, bestseller, spice level. Guests find what they want fast.
Cart + checkout
Add, edit and split items before placing the order. Guests always see the running total.
Live order tracking
Guests watch their order move from kitchen to table so nobody has to flag a waiter to “check on the biryani”.
How it works
Guest scans QR
The camera opens the table’s Dines menu — no app, no login.
Chooses items
Browse categories, tap add, adjust quantity, see live cart total.
Places order
Order lands on your KDS with the correct table and guest count attached.
Kitchen & waiter fulfil
Chef marks ready, waiter is notified for that specific table, guest sees status live.
Why it matters
- Faster ordering — tables aren’t held up waiting for a waiter to take orders.
- Fewer mistakes — the order is exactly what the guest tapped, in writing.
- Waiters focus on hospitality, not on writing dockets.
- Kitchen sees clear tickets — no illegible handwriting, no shouting.
- No commissions — unlike marketplace apps, direct QR orders keep 100% of the bill.
- Menu updates in real time across every table.
Frequently asked questions
Do guests need to download an app?+
No. Dines runs entirely in the browser. Guests scan the QR, the menu opens, they order — no install, no signup.
What happens if the internet drops mid-order?+
The cart is preserved on the guest’s device. When they reconnect, the order goes through cleanly.
Can guests order more items after the first order?+
Yes. Dines groups every additional round into the same table session so the kitchen and the bill both stay consistent.
Is this replacing my waiters?+
No. Dines takes the mechanical order-writing off your waiters so they can focus on serving and upselling.
Can I use it for takeaway or dine-in only?+
Dines is optimised for dine-in QR ordering. Takeaway workflows are on the roadmap.
