Try one table before switching your service

  1. 1. Build a small real menu. Replace the sample items with your own prices, descriptions and availability.
  2. 2. Scan your table QR code. Use a second phone to check the menu and submit a test order.
  3. 3. Check the staff workflow. Confirm the order reaches the dashboard with the right table, then update its status.

Keep your existing payment process during the test. If you need POS, card-processing or printer integrations, confirm those requirements before moving your venue.
