Save Time & Money: A Table Ordering System Made Easy

The problem

Good hospitality is more than
taking orders and punching a POS

Staff shortages, slow table turns, and constant menu reprints eat into service quality and margins. Order taking is admin — and admin is exactly what tech should handle.

Continuously hiring is a nightmare

You’re short staffed, and recruiting and training never stops. Every new starter needs weeks to get up to speed — and order-taking is the first thing to suffer.

Slow table turns cap your revenue

Customers wait to order, wait to reorder, then wait for the bill. Every minute of waiting is a minute your table isn’t earning — and a worse experience for the guest.

Printed menus cost money and waste

Every price change and every new dish means another print run. It’s expensive for you and painful for the planet — and the menus still end up sticky, torn, and out of date.

Why Slerp Order at Table?

Serve more tables, faster — with fewer staff

An online extension of your in-store team. Customers self-serve the admin, orders go straight to the kitchen, and your staff bring back hospitality.

Boost sales and efficiency

Digital menus increase basket sizes and make reordering effortless, so you serve more customers and drive higher revenue from every sitting.

Staff focus on customers

Save time on every table so staff can give attentive, memorable service instead of running orders back and forth. That’s what hospitality is all about.

Bigger tips, happier teams

Pre-selected tipping options at checkout lift tips, helping staff feel valued and rewarded — and helping you keep them.

No training needed

Customers simply scan a QR code and order. There’s nothing to teach staff and nothing for guests to learn — it just works from day one.

How it works

QR code ordering system for restaurants

From scan to kitchen in three steps — no app download, no account creation, no staff involvement until the food is ready to serve.

Customer scanning a QR code to order at the table

Scan & order

Customers order directly from a QR code or web link at the table — reducing the need for staff to take orders, with no training required on either side.

Pay seamlessly

Guest checkout with Apple Pay and Google Pay means customers settle the bill without staff assistance — and can split it with friends in a couple of taps.

Order sent directly to the kitchen from the table ordering system

Serve it up

The order is sent directly to the kitchen the moment it’s placed, allowing staff to focus on service rather than order taking.

FAQs

Table ordering system FAQs

What is a table ordering system?

A table ordering system lets restaurant customers order and pay from their table by scanning a QR code or following a web link, instead of waiting for staff to take the order. With Slerp, the order goes straight to the kitchen, payment is handled at the table, and every order feeds your CRM — freeing staff to focus on hospitality rather than admin.

Do customers need to download an app or create an account to order at the table?

No. Slerp’s table ordering uses guest checkout, so customers scan the QR code and order in seconds with Apple Pay or Google Pay — no app download and no account creation. If you have a branded app built on Slerp, repeat customers can use that for everything from order at table to click and collect, but it is never required.

How does QR code ordering work in a restaurant?

Each table gets a QR code. Customers scan it with their phone camera, which opens your digital menu in the browser. They order, pay, and can split the bill — and the order is sent directly to the kitchen. No hardware at the table, no staff training, and no printed menus to keep reprinting.

Can customers split the bill with table ordering?

Yes. Slerp’s split the bill feature does the maths for you: customers can split evenly or in different amounts, and send the bill to friends via text, WhatsApp, or by scanning a code — no awkward numbers and no taking eight separate payments at the till.

Will order at table reduce staffing costs?

Yes — order at table works as an online extension of your in-store team, letting you do more with less. Because customers self-serve ordering and payment, Slerp partners save around 15 minutes when turning tables and reduce staffing costs by around 15%, while staff spend their time on service instead of order-taking.

Does table ordering increase spend and tips?

Yes. Digital menus make reordering effortless and increase basket sizes, with Slerp partners seeing a 20% average increase in spend. Pre-selected tipping options at checkout also lift tips — around 30% more tips earned on average — helping staff feel valued and rewarded.

Does Slerp Loyalty work with table ordering?

Yes. Slerp Loyalty is fully integrated with order at table, so customers earn points, stamps, or milestone rewards on the same scheme whether they order at the table, online, in your app, or in-store. One profile, one balance, every channel.

Does Slerp charge commission on table ordering?

No. Slerp is a direct ordering platform, so table ordering runs on your own channel and you keep more of each order — unlike marketplace platforms that take a cut of every order and own the customer relationship.
