SIDES QR Code

More revenue, less staff: with the QR code ordering system

With digital table ordering via QR code, your guests order and pay directly at their table. No waiting times, fewer order-taking errors, higher average check – fully integrated into your POS system.

The problem in many restaurants:
You lose revenue due to poor service

Many restaurants work with several delivery portals simultaneously and have different tablets for Lieferando, Wolt, and Uber Eats. You lose control – precisely when your business is doing best.

Guests wait for staff and order less or leave

Staff are stressed and make ordering errors

You sell fewer dishes because there's no time for recommendations

Language barriers lead to ordering errors

The Solution: Digital Table Ordering via QR Code

Enable your guests to order at the table via smartphone and pay cashless. With our QR code ordering system, you relieve the service staff and increase revenue through additional sales via the digital menu.

POS System Integration

POS System Integration. All orders are automatically fed into the SIDES POS system via an interface, assigned to the respective table, and directly forwarded to the kitchen and the SIDES kitchen display. This means you don't have to manually transfer orders and you avoid errors caused by double-entry.

Table Management & Order Status

Table Management & Order Status. Your service team sees all ongoing table orders at a glance – who has ordered, who is waiting, and who still needs to pay. Less running around, more overview, better service. At the same time, your guests can track the status of their order live on their smartphone and know exactly when their order is ready and they can eat.

What is a QR Code Menu?

A QR code menu is a digital version of your menu that guests can access via smartphone at their table. The QR code – a two-dimensional barcode – is placed on a stand or on the table. The smartphone scans the code and the browser automatically opens the menu.

However, there's a crucial difference that many restaurateurs underestimate: A static QR code menu links to a PDF or a simple website – guests can read it, but not order. It only replaces the printed display.

A digital ordering menu like SIDES goes beyond that: Guests select dishes & extras, add everything to their cart, and send the order – it immediately lands in the POS system and on the kitchen display.

The advantages of a digital menu over printed versions are significant: Changes are live in real-time, allergens and additives can be managed in compliance with legal requirements, photos increase conversion rates, and guests order extras more frequently – because they have time to choose at their leisure without having to wait for a server.
