Free ordering system for your restaurant
Your guests can order directly from a QR code at your restaurant. Deliver at their table or call out their name.
When to use restaurant ordering software?
The restaurant industry changed a lot due to COVID-19. Staffing shortages in the hospitality business are forcing restaurants to simplify the way they take orders.
A QR code that guests can scan allows them to order straight from their phone. Research also shows that your guests order up to 20% more when they use an interactive menu. Using an ordering system could also help you get more orders ahead of time. Offering a free order ahead system could boost sales during the holiday season for example.

Is contactless ordering software a good alternative?
A contactless ordering system is a great alternative to printed menus. Due to inflation and other factors a lot of restaurants have to continuously update their pricing. Similarly, Issues with the supply chain could even force restaurants to completely update their menu. A digital ordering system is always up to date and:
- Allows you to offer what you have in stock
- Give discounts on certain items
- Communicate which items are sold out
On top of that Vev also gives you an easy CRM for your restaurant, see exactly who ate when (and what they've ordered).
Can you use restaurant ordering software on an iPad?
Yes! Restaurant ordering software from Vev works perfectly on an iPad, but also great on other tablets. Even small pop-up restaurants can offer a seamless experience this way for their guests.
You decide how you wanna receive orders for your restaurant via our software:
- Let guests order from one or multiple tablets themselves
- You take orders on iPad or other tablet on behalf of the guests
- Guest scan a QR code and place orders from their own device
- All of the above!
Set your own times and sell your meals, without the hassle!
