Will QR table ordering keep working if my internet goes down?
By the Menuthere editorial team · Last updated
No. A QR order needs both the guest's phone and your system to be online. Keep a paper pad ready to take orders by hand.
- Petpooja's page says both the guest's phone and the POS need internet.
- me&u's fallback printing cannot help when the network is down, its help page says.
- Keep a pad and pen at the till, and tell staff to switch to paper if the internet drops.
- Put a small sign on tables that says to ask staff if the QR code does not load.
- Enter paper orders into your dashboard afterwards so your records stay complete.
Orders ring until someone accepts
With Menuthere, orders arrive in your dashboard and ring on the partner app until someone accepts them. Keep a paper pad ready for the times the internet is down.
