QR Code Ordering
2026 Taiwan's Top Online Ordering System — Customers scan to order, saving labor with zero errors
Guests scan the QR code on their table, browse the photo menu, and place orders from their phone. Tickets go straight to the kitchen — no app download, no waiting for a server, fully automated from scan to serve.
Core features
Every step from ordering to serving is covered
Per-table QR codes
Every table has its own QR code. The system auto-detects the table number so every order is matched precisely — no more misrouted tickets.
No app download
Guests scan with their phone camera and order in the browser. No app to install, no account to create — they can start ordering in 3 seconds.
Photo menus
Upload high-quality photos for every dish. When guests can see the food, they order with more confidence — average check size rises about 15%.
Instant kitchen alerts
The moment a guest submits an order, the kitchen gets a push notification. No runners needed — prep speed goes up by roughly 30%.
Multi-language menus
Automatic Traditional Chinese and English menu switching — international visitors can order on their own, ideal for tourist-area restaurants.
Order notes
Guests can add notes per item (mild spice, no ice, hold the cilantro), reducing the verbal back-and-forth that leads to mistakes.
Add-ons & modifiers
Define custom add-ons and prices (extra egg +10, large size +20). The system does the math automatically — no miscalculations.
Live menu updates
Menu edits in the admin go live instantly. Launch a new dish, hide a sold-out item, or change a price in seconds — no reprinted menus required.
Multiple guests per table
Everyone at the table can scan and order from their own phone. Orders automatically merge onto one table for a clean checkout.
Self-service add-ons
Guests can add items anytime by scanning again — no flagging down a server. Table turnover and check size both go up.
How do you hand guests the QR code? Three modes at a glance
Dine-in, takeout, and pop-up each have their own way of serving the QR code — run one mode or all three at once
Many owners assume QR ordering only works for dine-in tables, but how you hand out the code determines which parts of your business it can cover. OrderEase ships the same system in three modes: dine-in bound to a table number, takeout with a scheduled pickup time, and pop-up bound to your touring schedule — one menu, one admin, and every order lands on the same ticket printer.
Fixed table QR stands
Each table gets its own QR code, printed as a stand or sticker. Scanning binds the table number automatically — nothing to type — and every reorder from anyone at the table rolls into the same tab, so checkout shows the whole table on one bill and staff never have to ask which table ordered what. Best for dine-in restaurants, hot pot, and BBQ.
Counter / takeout universal QR
One shared QR code at the counter or entrance. Takeout guests scan, order, and pick up when ready — they can even schedule a pickup time to skip the line, so commuters order before leaving home and grab-and-go at the store. Every payment method works: LINE Pay, JKO Pay, Taiwan Pay, credit card, or cash — whatever is easiest for the guest.
Pop-up / food truck QR
Built for food trucks and pop-up stores: the QR code links straight to your touring schedule. Guests pick a pickup date and the system shows that day's stall location — no reprinting codes every day, no guests showing up at the wrong spot. When you run multiple stalls on the same day, guests choose which stall to pick up from — the only QR ordering system in the industry that supports this.
| Mode | Best for | What guests see |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed table QR stand | Dine-in restaurants, hot pot, BBQ, cafes | A menu bound to their table — reorders merge into the same tab |
| Counter / takeout QR | Breakfast shops, drink stands, takeout | Full menu + pickup time scheduling + every payment method |
| Pop-up / food truck QR | Food trucks, markets, pop-up stores | The touring schedule and stall locations — pick a date and order |
All three modes are included with every account — no add-on fees. Generate a print-ready 300 DPI A4 stand PDF from the admin in one click, print it on any office printer, laminate it, and start taking orders the same day. Not sure where to start? Most shops begin with fixed table QR stands and add the universal takeout QR once takeout volume grows — no menu or admin changes needed.

3 steps to start QR ordering
From scan to serve in under 60 seconds
Scan the QR code
After being seated, guests scan the QR code on the table with their phone and the browser opens the ordering page — no app download required.
Browse, pick, and order
Guests browse the photo menu, choose items, set customizations and notes, then submit the order with one tap.
Kitchen serves in real time
Orders push instantly to the kitchen display or ticket printer. Chefs start prep immediately — zero lag from tap to plate.
Fits every type of restaurant
Whatever kind of restaurant you run, QR ordering helps you run it more efficiently
Food stalls / Quick-service
High-turnover spots with heavy foot traffic can skip the ordering line entirely — one staff member can now cover 20 tables. When 30 groups pour in at noon, guests order the moment they sit down and the counter line disappears. Fast-paced kitchens can pair it with a ticket printer and cook straight off the tickets — no screen-watching required.
Cafes / Brunch spots
Quiet cafes where guests don't want to be interrupted — self-service QR ordering fits perfectly with a slower-paced dining vibe. When brunch orders double at peak, tickets go straight to the printer and floor staff just deliver. After the rush, revenue reports compile themselves — no more reconciling paper tickets.
Breakfast shop QR ordering guideHot pot / BBQ restaurants
Hot pot places where add-ons are constant — guests can reorder anytime without flagging down staff, and add-on revenue jumps 40%. For all-you-can-eat formats with unlimited meat and drink refills, reordering labor drops to zero. You can even skip tableside ordering tablets — every guest's own phone is the ordering device.
All-you-can-eat QR ordering guideTourist-area restaurants
Menus switch automatically between Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese — following each guest's phone language, so Japanese guests open a Japanese menu instantly. No translation staff needed; tourists order a full table on their own. Paired with photo menus, guests order by pictures — zero communication barrier even without a shared language.
How much does QR ordering cost?
Two plans, fully public pricing, no hidden fees. Try every feature free for 30 days before you decide
Ordering systems on the market typically charge one of three ways: a percentage of your revenue, proprietary hardware bundles, or long contracts in exchange for a lower monthly fee. Commission plans cost more the better you do; hardware bundles stop your whole shop when a device breaks. OrderEase picks the simplest model: one flat monthly fee, nothing else.
| Plan | Monthly fee | What is included |
|---|---|---|
| STARTER | NT$1,950/mo | QR code ordering + photo menus + receipt printing |
| PRO | NT$2,450/mo | Everything in STARTER + kitchen display system (KDS) + e-invoicing + offline mode + Uber Eats integration |
Both plans include unlimited menu items and unlimited orders, with no setup or training fees.
0% commission
A flat monthly fee — we never take a cut of your revenue and never charge per order. 100 orders or 3,000 orders a month, you pay the same, so the busier you get the more you save. In peak season, every dollar you earn stays yours.
No contracts
Month-to-month billing you can stop anytime. No one- or two-year lock-ins, no cancellation penalties, no setup fees — run the 30-day free trial on real business days and walk away without paying a cent if it's not a fit.
No hardware lock-in
Guests order on their own phones and you manage orders on the phone or tablet you already own. No proprietary machines to buy, no equipment rental fees — and if you want a ticket printer, common off-the-shelf models are supported with no mandated brand.
Put the number in context: a full-time floor staffer costs at least NT$30,000 a month, while the PRO plan is NT$2,450 — less than one day of payroll. If QR ordering saves you even half a floor position, the system has already paid for itself, and every month after that is pure savings.
Getting started is simple: register, upload your menu, and print your QR codes — you can be live in 5 minutes. The trial needs no credit card, nothing is feature-limited, and we remind you before the 30 days end instead of auto-charging you.

Read moreFrequently Asked Questions
Do customers need to download an app to order via QR code?
No. After scanning the QR code on the table, the menu opens directly in the customer's browser — no app download, no membership signup, no personal data required. Both iPhone and Android are fully supported, and it takes about 3 seconds from scan to viewing the menu.
How do elderly customers who don't use smartphones order?
Paper menus and QR ordering coexist. For customers who prefer not to use their phone, staff can enter orders through the POS dashboard, and the kitchen receives them the same way. OrderEase does not require every customer to use mobile ordering — it is a three-track system: QR code, POS, and paper menu.
Will ordering be slow over 4G/5G if there's no Wi-Fi?
No, not noticeably. The ordering page is performance-optimized (first-screen load under 2 seconds, dish images auto-compressed to WebP and served via CDN), so 4G feels essentially the same as Wi-Fi. We still recommend offering customer Wi-Fi as a low-cost service upgrade.
Do I need to reprint QR codes when I update the menu?
No. Print the QR code once and use it permanently. When you update menu items, prices, photos, or limited specials in the dashboard, the page customers see when they scan is always the latest version. No reprinting needed for QR codes or paper menus, saving significant printing costs.
Can customers add to their order after scanning? Can multiple guests order separately?
Yes to both. Customers can re-scan the QR code anytime to add items; new orders automatically link to the same table number, and the kitchen receives them in sequence. Multiple guests at the same table can also scan and order separately, with everything consolidated into a single bill at checkout.
Are customers forced to add LINE before ordering?
No. OrderEase's QR ordering flow is "scan and order" — no LINE official account add required, no membership signup required. If you want to build a member list, the dashboard lets you optionally enable a soft prompt (e.g., "join our LINE for a discount") after the order — you stay in control, the flow is never blocked.
