How QR ordering works

The flow

1. 1
   A guest scans the QR code on their table — your menu opens in their phone browser. No app, no sign-up, no login.
2. 2
   They build a cart — photos, variants, add-ons and per-item notes ("no onion") — and place the order.
3. 3
   The order arrives at the till as a request, not as food-in-motion: it pops up full-screen in the cashier's approval queue.
4. 4
   The cashier accepts (it goes to the kitchen and the KOT prints) or rejects with a reason the guest is shown.
5. 5
   Guests can order more rounds from the same QR — everything joins one table bill.

Why orders wait for approval

A guest scanning a code would otherwise send food straight at the kitchen with nobody in the loop — the item may be 86'd, the table may be leaving, the order may be a misfire. Until a person says yes, a placed QR order is a request. The approval screen shows how many seconds the guest has been waiting, so nothing sits silently.

What makes it reliable

• The menu guests see is live — 86'd items vanish from phones mid-service.
• Each table's QR token is permanent; editing table details never breaks printed codes.
• Guest carts survive a refresh — the cart is kept per table code on the phone.
