QR Ordering
Guests scan the QR code on their table and order from their own phone. The order lands in the same live queue as your captains' orders.

What it does
There's a moment in every restaurant when the guests are ready to order and the captain is on the other side of the room. They wave, they wait, they catch someone's eye, and by the time the order is taken, the mood has cooled a little. That gap, between being ready and being served, is where guests get impatient.
QR Ordering closes it. Each table has a QR code. A guest scans it, browses the menu on their phone at their own pace, and places the order themselves. It doesn't go to a separate system that someone has to check. It joins the same live queue that captain orders use, reaching the kitchen and the table's bill at the same moment.
It doesn't replace your captains. It lets them spend their time on the guests who want service, and lets the ones who'd rather order in peace do exactly that. Whether an order comes from a captain's handheld or a guest's phone, the kitchen sees one queue and there's no lag between the table and the pass.
A good fit for casual dine-in restaurants and cafés, and for high-turnover quick-service tables where speed is the whole point.
In more detail
Some guests have decided before they sit down. With QR Ordering, they scan the code on the table, browse the menu on their phone and order without waiting to catch anyone's eye.
Others want a recommendation, and for them the captain is still right there. The two aren't in competition.
It's a small courtesy that adds up: nobody waits to be noticed, and the captain's attention goes to the guests who want it.
A QR code belongs to a specific table, and it sits on the table where the guests can see it, with your Jamanvar branding and the table number. An order placed through it lands on that table's tab automatically.
Nobody has to ask "which table was that?" and nobody has to move items from one bill to another. The floor plan updates as soon as the order arrives, the same way it would for a captain's order.
On the guest's phone, the menu is organised by category with each dish's name, veg mark and price. Adding a dish is one tap, and a running total shows before the order goes.
Once it's sent, the guest sees confirmation and the order joins exactly the same live queue as a captain's: split by station, shown on the kitchen screen or thermal printer, with its notes attached. The kitchen never has to think about where it came from.
Before and after
Where it fits
Guests who know what they want order at their own pace, and captains' time goes further.
When speed is the whole point, scan-and-order removes the wait to catch someone's eye.
A guest doesn't have to wait for a free captain to place an order. It goes straight into the kitchen queue.
Where it fits in the flow
Getting started
Most restaurants are live within 24 to 48 hours of sharing their menu and table count.
A PDF, a photo or the paper menu itself. We set up your dishes, categories, spice levels, Jain options and prices.
Tell us your table count and sections, and we configure your floor plan and QR codes around them.
We help configure ESC/POS thermal printers, USB and LAN connections, cash drawers and kitchen tablets.
Captains, kitchen staff and cashiers are trained by video or on-site, and we run a test billing cycle before you open.
Questions owners ask
We'll set up a walkthrough around your actual menu, tables and hardware, and answer the questions that matter to your restaurant.
