Let dine-in guests order from the table

Dine-in ordering puts a QR code on each table. A guest scans it, reads the same menu as everyone else, and orders to that table. Nobody waits to catch a waiter, and nobody types a phone number to eat where they are sitting.

1. Open Share, then Table QRs. Cafes and restaurants have this on already; any other shop switches on Dine-in table ordering under Settings, What this shop does.
2. Set how many tables you have with the plus and minus buttons, or press Start with 8 tables. Each table gets its own code.
3. Press Print all tables. A sheet opens with one card per table, numbered, carrying your shop name and "Scan to order". Print it, cut them up, stand one on each table.

What the guest sees

Your shop, your menu, your prices. The only difference is at the bag, which reads Ordering at Table 4: no pickup or delivery to choose, no phone number to type, and a name that is optional (leave it blank and the order is simply Table 4). The note box asks the kitchen instead of the counter: allergies, spice level, no onion.

What you see

The order lands on your board with a Table 4 chip and counts as Dine-in rather than pickup or delivery, so you always know it is for a table in the room. On a TV board the table number is the code itself, so the kitchen reads Table 4 rather than an order number.

Keep the codes straight

A table QR is not your counter QR. It carries the table with it, so putting your plain shop link on a table gets you an order with no table on it, and a table code at the counter sends a takeaway to a table. Print them from the right place and they stay right.

Lowering the table count retires those tables' codes. If you raise the count again the new tables get fresh codes, so print those tables again rather than reusing the old cards.

This does not replace the counter till. Staff sales still go through the till, and a guest who would rather order at the counter still can. Either way the order moves through Received, Packing, Ready and Done exactly as it always did.
