MenuBeacon product
Let each table order when it is ready
Guests scan, choose items and modifiers, and send an order from the table. Later rounds can stay on the same running table session while staff follow every order.
Table ordering, waiter calls, bill requests, and the kitchen dashboard are included on Free. Online card payment is Pro and available only in supported markets.
Illustrative workflow · Product behaviour described on this page
Table-aware scans
Each code can identify the table before the guest starts an order.
Later rounds
Guests can add more items to the same active table session.
Service requests
Waiter-call and bill-request alerts give the floor a clear queue.
The operational problem
Ready guests should not have to find a server
When a table is ready to order, add a round, or ask for the bill, the request can move immediately instead of waiting for the next visit to the table.
What changes
More control for guests, clear context for staff
A table-specific scan carries the dining context into the order. The kitchen receives the order, and the floor can see waiter calls and bill requests without replacing human hospitality.
How it works
A shorter path from appetite to kitchen
MenuBeacon keeps the table, order, and service status connected.

Designed for dine-in flow
Table sessions keep later orders and service requests attached to the right table.

- Cash or pay-at-counter closing by staff
Live without pretending the internet never fails
Order updates use a live stream with a polling fallback. Signed-in staff have limited offline cash continuity.
