Scan, order, and pay — from the guest's own phone
No app to download, orders straight to the kitchen, on the OS you already run.
Opero QR and table ordering lets guests scan, order, and pay from their phones. Orders flow to the KDS and draw down inventory automatically — included in one per-location price.
QR and table ordering should let guests order more, turn tables faster, and free your staff for hospitality — without adding another disconnected app to your stack. Opero builds it into the same platform as your POS and kitchen. Guests scan a code, order from your real menu, and pay from their phone, and the order behaves exactly like one a server rang in.
Opero is the Restaurant OS that runs on the tablets you already own — unlimited devices, one per-location price, no leased terminals.
What QR and table ordering is
Opero QR ordering turns each table — or each spot a guest stands — into an ordering point. A guest scans a code with their phone camera, opens your menu in the browser (no app download), customizes their items, and submits. With table ordering, the order is tied to a specific table; for pickup or counter setups, it routes to the right station. Payment is handled through Opero's embedded payments so the guest can pay from their phone.
- ✓Scan-to-order from the guest's own phone — no app install
- ✓Tied to a table for dine-in, or to pickup for counter and to-go
- ✓Reorder a round or add to an existing check during the visit
- ✓Pay from the phone through Opero's embedded payments
- ✓Built in — not a third-party ordering app bolted onto your POS
How it works on the one-menu spine
The QR menu is your menu. It reads from the same per-location spine as the POS and kiosk, so guests see the exact items, modifiers, and prices that location offers right now. 86 a dish and it disappears from the QR menu too. There's no second menu to maintain and no risk of a guest ordering something the kitchen pulled an hour ago.
Submitted orders fire to the Kitchen Display and draw down inventory through recipe costing, on the same pipeline as every other channel. The kitchen doesn't care whether an order came from a server, a kiosk, or a phone — it's all one queue.
Why BYO-tablet and per-location pricing matter
QR ordering itself runs on the guest's phone, so there's nothing for you to buy on the floor. What matters is the model around it: Opero bundles QR ordering into your one per-location price instead of charging a separate per-order or per-channel fee. The same flat plan — Starter $99, Growth $249, or Pro $499 per location per month — covers your POS, kiosk, and QR ordering together.
- ✓No separate online-ordering subscription stacked on top of your POS
- ✓No per-order software surcharge from Opero on QR orders
- ✓Roll out table ordering across every location under one dashboard
- ✓Pair QR ordering with the tablets you already own for staff-side order management
Server-rung, kiosk, and QR orders all share the same checks, kitchen queue, inventory draw-down, and reporting. One menu in, one pipeline through, one set of numbers out.
Who QR and table ordering is for
- ✓Full-service restaurants that want guests to reorder without flagging a server
- ✓Bars, breweries, and patios where table service is hard to scale at peak
- ✓Counter and food-hall concepts that want pay-at-table without more stations
- ✓Operators short on floor staff who want to keep the guest experience smooth
- ✓Multi-location groups standardizing scan-to-order across all sites
How QR ordering connects to the rest of the OS
- ✓Kitchen Display (KDS): QR orders appear in the same queue as POS and kiosk orders
- ✓POS: table orders attach to the right check, so staff can review, add, and close out
- ✓Floor plan & reservations: orders tie to the table the guest is seated at
- ✓Inventory & recipe costing: each QR order updates stock and food cost live
- ✓CRM & loyalty: guests can attach orders to a profile and earn loyalty from their phone
- ✓AI command center: QR channel volume feeds your cross-location insights
Put your menu on every guest's phone — included in your per-location plan.
