QR Code Menu & Table Ordering for Restaurants in Bangladesh: How It Works, Costs and Staff Approval Flow

A printed menu gets dirty, goes out of date the day prices change, and forces guests to wait for a waiter just to place an order. A QR code menu with table ordering fixes all three - and it is now a built-in part of HisabPlus Restora POS.

What is QR table ordering?

Every table gets its own printed QR code. A guest scans it with the phone camera and sees your live menu in the browser - big photos, categories, descriptions, prices. They add items to a cart and send the order. No app download and no login: the guest only types a name (phone number optional).

Why staff approval matters

Many QR menu tools push orders straight to the kitchen, which invites prank orders and mistakes. In HisabPlus the order lands in a QR Order Queue as Pending. A waiter or cashier checks it, then approves or rejects. Only approved orders move to the cashier POS for KOT and billing, so your kitchen never cooks something nobody confirmed. The guest can watch the status change on their phone.

How to set it up in 4 steps

1. Add your tables under Restaurant Tables.
2. Click the QR button on a table row - the system generates the table QR; print it and place it on the table.
3. Upload photos and descriptions for your items (bulk tools make this fast).
4. Open the QR Table Orders screen on the counter; approve orders as they arrive.

Benefits for restaurant owners

• Higher average bill - photos sell. Guests who browse at their own pace order more starters, drinks and desserts.
• Fewer waiter trips - one waiter can cover more tables during rush hours.
• Menu changes in seconds - change a price or hide a sold-out dish once and every table sees it. No reprinting.
• Fewer order mistakes - the guest types the order; no mishearing.
