Table ordering · Payment · Service screen

From QR code to plate. No waiting, no paper tickets.

Q: Can several people at one table order separately?

Yes. Each guest scans the table’s QR code and orders on their own, or one person orders for everyone. On the service screen, orders are grouped by table, and dishes are only called once the whole table is ready.

Q: Can guests leave a tip?

Yes: when paying online, guests can add a 5, 10 or 15% tip, or none at all.

Q: What if a guest wants to pay cash or with meal vouchers?

Enable payment at the table: the order goes to the kitchen without prepayment, and once served it shows as “To collect” on the server’s phone. They take payment as usual, then tap “Paid”.

Q: Does Tap&Eat replace my servers?

No. It removes the low-value back-and-forth — taking orders, copying them out, bringing the card machine — so they can focus on welcoming and advising guests. Guests who prefer to order out loud still can: the server enters the order on their screen.

Q: How does the kitchen know an order has arrived?

The service screen chimes and shows the order with the table number, options and notes. The cook taps “Start”, then “Ready”: the server sees it instantly on their phone, and the guest on theirs.

Q: Does each station only see what concerns it?

Yes. Dishes and desserts appear in the kitchen, drinks at the bar, and the floor sees what is ready to serve. Each employee has their own account and station; a manager can see everything on one screen.

Q: Do I need to buy hardware?

No. Guests use their own phones. For your team, any tablet, computer or phone with a browser will do — or the Tap&Eat Pro app.

Q: How long does it take to put my menu online?

A few minutes. Take a photo of your menu: AI suggests the dishes, prices and categories, and you approve each line before it is saved. You can also pick from a library of 1,000+ items with photos.

Q: A dish sells out mid-service: what do I do?

Mark it out of stock from the service screen or the dashboard: it instantly disappears from every guest’s menu, without them reloading the page.

Guests order and pay from their phone, with no app to install. Every order lands at the right station — kitchen, bar, floor — and your team always knows what to prepare, what to serve, and to which table.

How it works

A whole service, orchestrated.

Here is what actually happens when a guest orders with Tap&Eat — from their table to the kitchen, and from the kitchen back to their table.

Your menu opens in their phone’s browser. No app to download, no account required.
- Photos, options and notes (doneness, sides)
- Allergens, and an estimated wait based on your real service times
- Menu in French or English

Service screen

Your team’s screen, for real.

This is not a video: it is the software your team uses, running on a simulated service. Guest orders arrive on their own. Your turn.

Simulated service · live

Try it in 3 taps

On the tablet, tap “Start”, then “Ready”.
Watch the server’s phone: the table turns green.
Tap “Served”, then “Paid” if the guest pays on site.

At the top of the tablet, switch between “Kitchen”, “Bar” and “All”: that is the station picker, just like in your venue.

One colour code, everywhere

One screen per station, nothing more

Every employee has an account. Their station decides what they see — and one person can cover several stations.

Kitchen

Dishes and desserts to prepare, then those waiting for the floor. One button at a time: the next step.

Bar

Drinks, confirmed in a single tap. They are served as soon as they are ready, without waiting for food.

Floor

The floor plan, what is ready to bring out and what is left to collect. No preparation buttons: no mistakes possible.

Manager

All production and all service on one screen. A station they are not watching blinks when something is waiting.

Tablet, computer, phone, and the Tap&Eat Pro app: the same screen everywhere, synced in real time.

Automatic stock

One order sold, stock up to date.

Link each dish to its recipe card, once. From then on, every order takes its own ingredients out of stock: no more counting at night, no more running out mid-service.

A recipe card, once and for all

For each dish, its ingredients and quantities. Options count too: “fries” adds 180 g of potatoes, “double” doubles the recipe.

Reserved on order, deducted when ready

Ingredients are set aside as soon as the order is confirmed, then taken out of stock when the kitchen taps “Ready”. A cancelled order gives its ingredients back on its own.

You know what to reorder

One threshold per item, and the “to order” list fills itself. Stock value and this week’s food cost are on your overview.

And if you want

These automations are optional: switch on the ones that suit you.

Included in every plan, at no extra cost.

Automatic sold-outNothing left to make the dish? It disappears from the guest menu, and comes back with the next delivery.
“Only 3 left”The last portions are shown on the guest menu.
Food cost and marginThe cost price of every dish, calculated from your purchase prices.
Deliveries, waste, stock-takeLog a delivery or a breakage in a few taps; the stock-take fixes any gap.
House preparationsSauces, stocks, doughs: a preparation uses its ingredients and feeds your dishes.

2 Payment

They order, and pay when you decide

Online with Apple Pay, Google Pay or card — into YOUR SumUp account or your bank (Crédit Agricole, Crédit Mutuel, CIC, Banque Populaire, Caisse d’Épargne…): the money goes to you, Tap&Eat never touches it. Or at the table, if you enable it.

3 Production

The order routes itself

Dishes and desserts go to the kitchen, drinks to the bar. Each station only sees what it prepares, with a chime on arrival.

One tap to start, one tap for “Ready”
The bar confirms in a single tap: a beer doesn’t need two
Out of stock? The dish disappears from every guest’s menu

4 The floor

Servers serve at the right moment

Their phone shows what is ready and for which table: the floor plan lights up green. Tap&Eat waits until the whole table is ready before calling the dishes — drinks go out straight away.

Floor plan by area: dining room, terrace, upstairs
A guest prefers to order out loud? The server enters it
Counter pickup: “order ready” email to the guest

5 Management

Payments and reporting, no re-keying

Paid online: done. Paid on site: the server confirms “Paid”. Every sale goes into a secure ledger, with daily closings and an export for your accountant.

Revenue, best sellers, VAT breakdown
Time per step: waiting, cooking, pass
Loyalty, guest reviews, happy hours
