For cafés, restaurants and takeaway shops. Customers order from their phone at the table, or order ahead before they come in. It lands straight at your counter, and your regulars collect stamps towards something free. We build it around your menu and your branding, take no commission, and if you want card payments in the app we connect it to the merchant you already have.
Scan this with your phone camera. It opens the ordering page we built for a demo venue, Wattle & Stone. Nothing to install.
Your branding, your menu, your sizes and extras. The loyalty rules are yours as well: every tenth coffee, every fifth lunch, a free side — whatever suits your place. Tell us and we'll change it.
You'll have a direct number for the person looking after your venue. Menu changes and questions go to them, and they'll answer.
Sign-ups, rewards, and a friendly reminder to regulars who haven't been in for a while. We'll look after it if you'd like, or leave it to tick along on its own.
Your name and your colours, not ours. New prices or a special go live the same day you ask for them.
Orders arrive with a chime, so nothing gets missed in the rush. Mark something sold out and it comes off every phone straight away.
Regulars collect stamps by mobile number, and those customers are yours, not ours. Tell them about a new menu whenever you like.
Most people would rather tap through a menu than read an order out over a noisy kitchen. Orders arrive written down, nobody on hold.
Wattle & Stone is our demo venue. The system behind it is the one you'd be getting. $99 a month, with a one-off $999 to build. demo.lotushosting.org
Plenty of places start with pay at the counter and never change it. When you'd rather customers paid on their phone as they order, we build that onto the merchant setup you've already got, and take no cut of your sales.

Ordering at the table, we'd start you on PayPal QR. A free business account and one QR; the customer pays in the app they already have. Ordering ahead, Stripe: a link, verify, same day.
Stay where you are. We connect the app to the account you've got and you keep the rate you're already on. Nothing changes at your counter.
NAB, ANZ, Westpac and CommBank all have gateways we can build to. It's more work at our end, so it takes a little longer. It doesn't cost you more.
Into the bank account you already use, usually within a few business days; pay-by-bank is instant.
From the same counter screen your orders come in on. No second login, nobody to ring.
No. Your terminal carries on for everyone paying at the counter; this only covers orders in the app.
Most of our venues start with pay at the counter; we can turn payments on later without rebuilding anything. When you're ready, tell us which merchant you're with and we'll do the rest.

"We build QR code ordering and loyalty apps for cafés, restaurants and takeaway shops. Customers order from their phone at the table, or order ahead before they come in. Most people would rather do that than ring up. There's a loyalty card built in, we set it up with your menu and branding, and there's no commission. Under a grand to build, ninety-nine a month. We're a family studio here in Adelaide, so you'll have one of us looking after your account. Have a scan and see what you think."
Then hand them the sheet and let them play. They already know what QR ordering is, so there's nothing to explain. What you're showing them is that it's built, it's easy, and you're someone who has it together. If they ask how it's this cheap: "We use AI tools for the build and the routine work, so between us we can do properly what used to take a whole team."
You're not selling the idea, you're selling yourself. What they should be left thinking: he's organised, it's already built, and it all looked easy.
Set up before you speak. Buy a coffee, put the tablet down facing them, counter screen already open with the sound on. Nothing should need fiddling with once you start.
Give the 30 seconds and hand over the sheet. "Scan that with your camera." Then be quiet and let them have a go.
Let them drive. "Order yourself a flat white. Pick your milk, put an extra shot on, add a note." Working it out with their own thumbs does more than anything you could say.
Let the order land. Turn the tablet around so they see their name, their order, their table and their note. Tap "Start", then "Mark ready". Give it a second before you say anything.
One last thing, then ask. Either mark something sold out (Menu tab → Almond Croissant → "refresh your phone") or show them the stamp card. Pick one. Then: "Send us your menu and we'll have yours running within the week."
