Here's exactly what happens when someone scans your QR code.
Customer points their phone camera at the code on the table - or in their hotel room. Your menu opens instantly in their browser - no app to download, no account to create, no friction.
They see your full menu with category tabs, search, and item details. Dietary filters let them find vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or halal options instantly. Allergen information is clearly shown on each item.
On supported plans, customers can view your menu in English, Afrikaans, Zulu, or Xhosa. Great for serving a diverse local customer base and international tourists.
They select items, set quantities, and add special notes (like "no onions" or "extra spicy"). The cart updates in real time with running totals.
They submit their order and see a status page with real-time updates. You receive the order instantly on your live order board - no missed orders, no miscommunication.
Try it yourself - see exactly what your customers will see
Once you're set up, TapTheTable becomes part of your daily workflow. Here's what you'll use it for.
Your live order board shows incoming orders in real time. Track each order through its lifecycle - new, in progress, ready, served. Staff can confirm QR orders before they're processed.
Change a price, toggle an item as sold out, or add something new - all in a few taps. Changes go live instantly, no reprinting required. Ever.
Create time-limited specials with discounted prices. They appear prominently on your public menu with discount badges, and automatically expire when the promotion ends.
See how many people scanned your QR codes, what they ordered, your busiest hours, top-selling items, revenue trends, and scan-to-order conversion rates. Business plan includes weekly email digests.
Connect your own WhatsApp Business account or Telegram bot to receive order notifications directly on your phone. Never miss an order, even when you're away from the dashboard.
Invite staff members with appropriate roles. Owners manage the menu and settings; staff handle orders and day-to-day operations.
