Guest ordering

Scan. Order. On the screen that matters.

Guests scan a QR code and order from their phone. No app to install. The ticket lands on the bar or kitchen kiosk it belongs to, the guest watches the status, and every order is in the sales export at close.

What it does

From the QR code to the kiosk, and back to the guest.

Scan. No app.

A QR code on the table, in the box or in the team room opens the menu in the phone's browser. Courses, dishes, prices, photos, the chef's recommendations. It is the same page the guest uses for feedback and the AI chat, so there is one code to print.

Routed to the right screen

Each section or dish routes to a kiosk: drinks to the bar, food to the kitchen, with a fallback kiosk for anything without a route. Kiosks are ordinary tablets with an eight-digit login code. Tickets arrive over a live connection, so nobody refreshes.

A status the guest can see

Staff move the ticket along on the kiosk. The guest's tracking page follows it, and guests on the Concierge app get a push notification.

Pre-orders, modifiers, allergens

Take orders ahead of service; they sit in the queue and are promoted to the kiosk when due. Dishes carry modifiers and allergens, and guests can filter out the allergens they pick.

On the day

One order, start to finish.

  1. 1
    Scan the code

    The guest scans the QR on the table, in the box or in the team room. The menu opens in their browser.

  2. 2
    Build the order

    Dishes, modifiers, a note. Allergens are on every dish, and the guest can filter them out. A pre-order picks a time slot.

  3. 3
    The ticket lands on the kiosk

    Drinks to the bar kiosk, food to the kitchen kiosk, by section or dish. Staff tap it from pending to in progress.

    The guest watches it move

    The tracking page updates with each status. Guests on the Concierge app get a push notification.

  5. 5
    Out for delivery, delivered

    Where orders are delivered, the driver gets a link and the guest's status page follows the drop. A meal-delivery QR with a live status page ran at a professional golf event in 2026; the live driver map is built.

The paperwork at close.

    A written read of the event's orders, alongside the summaries for feedback, cellar, wastage and staffing.

    The page that takes the order also takes ratings, dish by dish. They land in the feedback export and the AI summary of comments.

Questions

Do guests need an app?
No. Scanning the QR code opens the menu in the phone's browser. The Concierge app exists for venues that want push notifications and order history, but nothing depends on it.
How do we take payment?
Not from the phone. A QR order goes to the kiosk as a ticket; the guest is not asked for a card. That suits hospitality where food and drink are already included, which is where it has run so far. For a venue that charges per order, Guest It's till takes card payments on a Guest It reader and shares the same menu and kiosk feed. Tell us what you run.
What about allergens?
Every dish carries contains, may contain and dietary flags across the UK 14 allergens. If you turn filtering on, guests pick their allergens and any dish that contains one is crossed out on the menu.
Can we take orders before service?
Yes. Pre-orders take a time slot and respect a lead time you set per kiosk. They sit in the queue and are promoted to the kiosk when due.
Does it work offline?
The kiosk needs a connection: tickets arrive live, and the guest orders from a web page on their own signal. If the venue's wifi is patchy, tell us before the event and we will plan around it.
