Tap-to-menu tags
Programmed per table, seat or counter, so every order arrives with its location already attached.
NFC & smart ordering
Tap-to-order systems for venues that lose money to queues
A tag on the table, the seat or the takeaway bag. Guests tap, the menu opens, the order reaches the kitchen. No app to install, no queue to stand in.
Every minute a guest spends in a line is a minute they are not spending. NFC removes the line without asking anyone to download anything: a phone held near a tag opens a web page, and that page already knows which table, seat or screen it was tapped from. We are building this for cinemas and for cafes, and we build it for other venues too.
What you get
Included in every engagement
QR as a fallback
Older handsets and awkward cases still work, because a tag half your guests cannot use is not a system.
Kitchen and counter routing
Orders land on a display in preparation order, with the seat or table on every ticket.
Loyalty in the same tap
Points accrue automatically on each order. No plastic card, no separate app, nothing for staff to key in.
Venue dashboard
Menu, pricing, stock, opening hours and live sales, editable by your manager rather than by us.
Payment your way
Pay at the tap, pay on delivery, or add to a tab, integrated with the processor you already use.
How the work runs
Our 5-step process
You see something real at every stage. Nothing moves forward until the previous step is approved, so there are no surprises at handover.
-
1
Process Audit
We map what actually happens today, how long it takes, and how often it goes wrong. Then we put a number on it.
-
2
Scope & Business Case
We propose the workflows worth building and what each should save. If it will not pay for itself, we say so.
-
3
Build & Integrate
The system is built against your real tools, with credentials held outside the automation itself.
-
4
Supervised Pilot
It runs alongside your team with a human approving every consequential step, until the logs prove it is reliable.
-
5
Handover & Monitoring
You get documentation, an audit log, alerting, and a defined fallback that routes to a person.
Questions
The things people ask before they hire us
What is an NFC ordering system?
A short-range tag embedded in a table, seat or sign. A guest holds their phone near it and a menu opens instantly in the browser. They order and pay from that page, and the order reaches your kitchen with the location attached.
Do customers need to install an app?
No, and that is the entire point. NFC opens a normal web page: nothing to download, nothing to sign up for, and no camera to aim in a dark room.
Which venues is this for?
Cinemas, cafes, restaurants, bars, food courts and stadiums. Anywhere guests would order more if they did not have to queue. Our two pilots are a cinema seat-side system and a cafe loyalty system.
Will it work with our existing POS?
Usually. We integrate where the POS offers an API, and run the order screen alongside it where it does not. We check this before quoting.
What does it cost to set up?
Tags are inexpensive per table or seat. The real cost is software configuration, menu setup and integration, quoted per venue after we look at your floor plan and current process.
Can we join the pilot?
Yes, we are taking a small number of pilot venues. Pilot partners get the build shaped around their real operation and keep the pricing that comes with going first.
