WP InPlate for restaurants with dining rooms and patios

Table ordering for restaurants with dining rooms and patios.

Put QR codes on the tables in your dining room and patio. Guests order from their phone, and the kitchen gets the table number. The same system can also handle takeaway and delivery orders.

Challenges in your venue

Less time taking down orders, more time looking after guests.

When the dining room is full, servers can’t always get to every table right away. Guests can then order from their phone with a QR code, and staff can focus on serving food.

  1. Waiting for the menu and a server

    Guests wait for a chance to order, even though they’ve already chosen their dishes.

  2. Table orders get lost in the kitchen

    Notes with table numbers can get mixed up with takeaway orders.

  3. Extra orders slip away

    When a server is looking after guests in another part of the patio, it’s harder to order a dessert or another drink straight away.

  4. Two separate worlds

    Table orders and takeaway orders reach the same kitchen. Without a shared view, they’re harder to manage.

How it looks in practice

A table order step by step.

  1. 12:00 · Dining room and patio open

    For QR tables, you set separate ordering hours, independent of takeaway sales.
  2. 13:15 · The customer scans the code

    After scanning the code, the phone opens the menu for table 14 in the “Patio” area.
  3. 13:17 · They order and pay

    Guests can pay online or choose “pay at the table”. They order a dessert or a drink the same way.
  4. 13:18 · The kitchen sees the table

    In the KDS, the order appears with the table number. You can find it with the “QR tables” filter.
  5. 13:30 · Servers just serve

    Servers can focus on serving dishes and looking after the dining room instead of just taking down orders.
