QR Order & Pay

Scan, order and pay from the table.

Diners scan a table QR code, browse the live menu, customise items, order together, track status, split the bill and pay from their phone — while POS, KDS, staff and Admin stay in sync.

The problem

Ordering at the table should not create more work for staff.

Table ordering often passes through separate conversations for modifiers, order status and bill splitting. QR Order & Pay gives diners a browser-based route through those steps while keeping menu, kitchen, payment and staff workflows connected.

Without connected QR ordering
  • Staff relay modifiers manually
  • Groups negotiate the bill at the end
  • Kitchen notes arrive through separate handoffs
  • Order status is requested through staff
  • Bill splits are calculated separately
  • Receipts need manual handling
With Cibus QR
  • Diners scan and order
  • Modifiers go straight to the item
  • Group cart stays organised
  • Kitchen tickets retain modifiers and table context
  • The current order status appears on the phone
  • Split payments and receipts remain linked to the order
Scan-to-order journey

From scan to receipt, without an app install.

One table. Multiple phones. One organised order.

Menu & modifiers

The live menu does the explaining.

Diners browse the same Cibus menu that powers POS, Storefront and Admin. Descriptions, categories, modifiers, allergens, dietary tags and availability stay aligned with the restaurant's operations.

Why it matters

QR orders should not sit on a separate tablet. Cibus routes them into the same order and kitchen flow as POS and Storefront, with modifiers, allergens and table context attached.

  • Single ticket flow per station
  • Allergen and modifier clarity
  • Table-aware kitchen context
  • Live status back to the diner
Split bill & checkout

Split options stay connected to the order.

Diners pay in a way that matches the table: one person pays, everyone splits equally, or each diner pays for their own items. Payment and receipt records stay connected to the order.

Payment option
Equal split
The bill is divided equally across diners at the table. Each diner pays their share from their own phone.

At the table

Not another app to download. A scan that runs with the floor.

Diners order, track and pay from their phone while POS, KDS, staff and Admin stay on the same live table.

Example scenario

A shared table order from scan to receipt.

Diners scan the same table QR and add their own items and modifiers. The order routes into the configured kitchen flow, its status appears on the phone, and payment records and digital receipts remain linked to the order.
