Tavola
Guests scan the table code and order, the kitchen sees the ticket on screen, and staff close the bill without running back and forth.
QR Code Menu Ordering App with Kitchen Display for Restaurants
Tavola is a QR menu that actually takes orders. Guests scan the code on the table, browse dishes with photos and allergens, add a note and send the order. It shows up on the kitchen display right away with a timer, while staff see which tables are waiting for food, which want the bill and how much is open. You edit the menu yourself and hide a sold-out dish with one click.

What the app does
A QR menu on every table
Photos, descriptions, allergens and prices on the guest phone, no app to install. The table number comes from the code.
Orders go straight to the kitchen
No paper slips and no retyping. Notes like "no onions" and extras arrive exactly as the guest wrote them.
Kitchen display with timers
Large tiles readable from across the kitchen that change color when a ticket waits too long. One tap to start, one to bump.
Tables and bills
Floor plan with free, occupied and waiting-for-bill tables. Close the bill by cash, card or mobile pay and print the receipt.
A menu you edit yourself
New dishes, prices, photos, extras and allergens in a minute. Switch off a sold-out dish and guests can no longer order it.
Sales overview
Revenue by hour, average ticket, best sellers and how many orders come in through the QR menu.
