How Table Ordering Works
From QR scan to kitchen ticket in under 30 seconds. No app downloads, no complicated setup — just faster service and happier guests.
QR Code Table Ordering
Guests scan a QR code on their table, browse your full menu with photos and descriptions, customise their order with modifiers, and submit directly to the kitchen. No app download required — it works in any mobile browser.
Waiter Pad Mode
Staff carry a phone or tablet as a wireless order pad. Tap items, add modifiers, assign to a table, and fire to the kitchen — all without walking back to the till. Orders appear on the KDS in under 2 seconds.
Pay-at-Table
Guests pay from their phone when they are ready. Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay — no waiting for the bill. Tips can be added on screen. The table status updates to "paid" automatically on the floor plan.
Interactive Floor Plan
Drag and drop tables onto your floor plan. See at a glance which tables are occupied, which have ordered, which are waiting for food, and which are ready to be cleared. Colour-coded status keeps front of house in control.
Course Firing
For multi-course meals, starters fire immediately while mains are held. When the table is ready for the next course, staff tap to fire — or set automatic timers. The kitchen gets courses in the right order, every time.
Group Ordering
Multiple guests at the same table can scan the same QR code and add items to a shared order. Each person orders what they want, and the kitchen receives one consolidated ticket per table with all items grouped.

Why Restaurants Choose Table Ordering
Reduce Wait Times by 60%
When guests order from their phone the moment they sit down, you eliminate the wait for a waiter to take the order. Food reaches the table faster, tables turn quicker, and guests spend less time waiting and more time enjoying their meal.
Increase Average Order Value
Digital menus with photos and upsell prompts consistently increase spend. Guests add extras, upgrade sides, and order desserts they would have skipped if they had to flag down a waiter. Restaurants using Posso table ordering see 15-22% higher average tickets.
Free Up Your Staff
With guests ordering and paying from their phone, your waiters spend their time on hospitality — checking on tables, recommending dishes, and making guests feel welcome — instead of running back and forth to the till.
Fewer Order Errors
When guests enter their own order with modifiers and special requests typed out, there is no room for miscommunication. Allergies, dietary requirements, and customisations go straight to the kitchen exactly as the guest specified.
Table Ordering That Works With Your Existing POS
The Posso restaurant order at table app is not a separate system bolted onto your POS. It is built into the same platform that runs your till, kitchen display, and delivery integrations. When a guest orders from their table, it appears on the same KDS screen as waiter-entered orders and online orders.
Your menu updates in one place and syncs everywhere — the POS, the QR ordering menu, and your online ordering website. Change a price, add a dish, or mark something as out of stock, and it updates across all channels instantly.
For restaurants that want both QR self-ordering and traditional waiter service, the Posso system supports both simultaneously. Some tables can order via QR while others are served by staff using the waiter pad app — all feeding into the same kitchen workflow.
Restaurant Order at Table App — Frequently Asked Questions
Do guests need to download an app to order at the table?
No. The Posso order at table system works through the mobile browser. Guests scan the QR code with their phone camera and the menu opens instantly — no app store, no download, no sign-up. It works on any smartphone with a camera.
Can I use table ordering alongside traditional waiter service?
Yes. You can run both simultaneously. Some tables order via QR while others are served by staff using the waiter pad app. Both order types appear on the same kitchen display in the same format, so the kitchen workflow stays consistent.
How does pay-at-table work?
When guests are ready to pay, they tap the payment button on their phone. They can pay by card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Tips can be added on screen before payment. The table status updates automatically on the floor plan, so staff know the table is ready to be cleared.
Does the QR ordering menu show allergen information?
Yes. Every menu item can include allergen tags (gluten, dairy, nuts, etc.) and dietary labels (vegan, vegetarian, halal). Guests can filter the menu by dietary requirement to see only suitable items. This information syncs from the same menu data used on your POS.
How much does the restaurant order at table app cost?
Table ordering is included with the Posso POS system from £499 + VAT. There is no separate monthly fee for the QR ordering feature. You get the POS, kitchen display, table ordering, and online ordering all in one system with low commission on orders.
Can multiple people at the same table order separately?
Yes. Group ordering allows multiple guests to scan the same QR code and add items to a shared order. Each person selects what they want, and the kitchen receives one consolidated ticket. At payment time, guests can split the bill by item or pay equal shares.
