QR codes for tables

QR codes let guests order from their phone without waiting for a waiter. Each table has its own code so orders arrive on the right table in the kitchen and on the POS.

Waiterr Manager — qr table overview

Before you print anything

Complete these first:

  1. Areas and tables exist
  2. Menu has products with prices
  3. QR ordering is enabled in Settings → Services
  4. At least one online payment method is active (setup guide)

Without payment + service enabled, the QR page may load but guests can’t pay.


How it works for the guest

  1. Guest scans the QR sticker on the table
  2. Phone opens your menu (no app install)
  3. They add items and pay (or order to pay at till — depends on your settings)
  4. Order appears on KDS and POS linked to that table
  5. Staff bring food to the correct table

Generate QR codes

  1. Go to Tables
  2. Select one or more tables (checkbox on list view, or multi-select on plan)
  3. Click QR code menu → Download or Print

Where to place QR codes

GoodBad
Eye level on table edgeUnder the table
Laminated or waterproofGlossy reflection directly under light
One code per tableOne code for whole room (can’t tell tables apart)
Stable stand or stickerLoose paper that moves

💡 Terraces: use a small weighted stand so wind doesn’t flip the code.


Regenerate a QR code

If a sticker is damaged or stolen:

  1. Select the table
  2. Regenerate QR

The old QR stops working. Print and replace the physical sticker.


Bulk print

For many tables:

  1. Tables page → menu → Print QR codes
  2. Or select all tables in an area → Print
