QR Code Digital Menu: SaaS for Restaurants Going Paperless
Restaurants waste time managing paper menus โ a QR ordering system sends digital orders straight to the kitchen via the customer's phone.
This micro-SaaS product gives restaurants a digital menu accessible via a QR code on each table. The customer scans the code, browses the menu in their browser with no app download required, and sends the order directly to the kitchen. The system is built on no-code tools such as Bubble.io, menu management runs via Airtable, and real-time order delivery is handled by Pusher or Ably. Payments can be integrated via Stripe with support for Apple Pay and Google Pay. The operator pays a monthly flat fee per venue and gets full control over the menu, dish availability, and analytics. The product suits independent restaurants, cafรฉs, and smaller chains across the UK.
Paper menus need reprinting every time a price changes, get lost behind sticky tables, and front-of-house staff still manually relay orders to the kitchen. Miscommunication between waiting staff and the kitchen is common and slows down the entire service.
๐The digital menu market is growing steadily
The global QR ordering market is expanding rapidly, and UK hospitality is among the fastest-digitising sectors. Restaurants are actively replacing paper-based processes, driven by rising labour costs and changing guest expectations.
