How do I set up QR table ordering step by step?
Updated 1 October 2026
Six steps: put your menu online, mark what guests can order from the table, make a QR code per table, print and place them, choose where orders ring, and test one order yourself.
- Table number: me&u dine-in QR codes have the table number inside, so guests go straight to ordering and staff bring the food to the table.
- Square: you assign self-serve ordering to items and set QR ordering hours.
- Alerts: Square lets you set text alerts and ticket printing for new orders.
- Codes: Square lets you download ordering cards or plain QR codes. Turn off "Accept QR code orders" to stop.
