QR ordering lets dine-in customers scan a QR code at their table, browse your menu on their phone and send their order straight to your Qashier POS. There are two modes: Static QR (one fixed QR code per table) and Dynamic QR (a new QR code printed each time you open a table). This article compares them so you can choose the right one.
Applies to: All markets · QashierHQ and Qashier POS · Table Management with QR ordering.
Which QR ordering do you have? This comparison is for QR ordering set up in QashierHQ under Settings > Additional Settings > Table Management. If your QashierHQ sidebar shows Products & Inventory > Mobile Ordering, your QR codes, payment options and takeaway QR are managed there instead. See How to Set Up Mobile Ordering (Treats Ordering) in QashierHQ.
