QR table ordering

Live(switched on per venue)

Let every table order for itself

Guests scan the code on their table, browse your menu, choose their options and place the order from their phone. It lands in the same POS and kitchen screens as every other order, with prices that always come from your menu.

Tillio QR ordering on a phone: the demo café's menu for Table 12 in the Courtyard, with Add buttons for each coffee.
A guest's order status on a phone: order received, with a code friends at the table can use to add to the order.

Real Tillio screens. Demo venue, sample data.

Common questions

All questions

Do guests need to download an app?

No. They scan the QR code with their phone camera and order in the browser. There's no app and no account.

Where does online payment go?

To your venue's own Stripe account. Tillio doesn't hold the money. Online payment is optional: guests can also pay at the table or at the counter.

Can someone tamper with prices from their phone?

No. The phone only sends what was chosen. Prices are calculated on the server from your menu, the same way the POS calculates them.
