Best fit
This workflow is most useful when the venue needs a lightweight ordering layer rather than a full POS replacement.
- Independent dine-in restaurants testing QR ordering
- Small floors that can start within the Free plan limits
- Teams that want a browser dashboard instead of new customer hardware
Service flow
Keep the process visible and test it from the guest's phone before using it during service.
- Create the restaurant profile and publish the core menu.
- Generate one QR code for each active table.
- Keep the live order dashboard open during service.
- Move each order through preparation and service states.
What it improves
These are direct product capabilities, not promised revenue or labour-saving percentages.
- No guest app or account
- Menu changes without reprinting menu pages
- Table number carried into the order
- A free plan with no credit card
What to plan around
FastQRMenu is deliberately clear about the functions it does not replace today.
- No POS or payment integration
- The Free plan is limited to 3 tables and 15 items
- Staff still need a reliable internet-connected dashboard device
Plan guidance
Use Free for a very small test floor. Choose Starter when you need more than 3 tables, more than 15 items, or an editable public restaurant URL.
