QR Menu with Cart and Add-ons
A QR menu with a cart is a menu where guests choose a dish, add extras (sauce, size, topping), see the total, and hand the order to the server. No calls, no waiting — the guest builds the order themselves, and the average check grows naturally as add-ons become visible.
When guests see add-ons and variants directly in the menu, they order them more often. Scan'n'plate lets you configure variants (size, weight), add-ons (toppings, sauces, extras), and time-based discounts that activate automatically during happy hour.

Cart for guests
Guests add items to the cart, see the total, and show the order to the server or cashier.
Add-ons and variants
Each dish can have size variants (S/M/L) and add-ons (sauces, toppings, extra ingredients).
Happy hour discounts
Set a discount on drinks from 4–6 PM — it activates automatically at the right time.

Frequently asked questions
How does the cart work?
Guests tap "Add to cart" next to a dish. The cart accumulates items and shows the total. The guest shows the order to the server or reads it at the counter.
Does the system accept payment through the cart?
Not yet. The cart is a tool for building and passing the order. Payment happens via the venue's standard method.
What are "add-ons" and "variants"?
Variants are sizes or versions of a dish (e.g. S/M/L or 200g/400g). Add-ons are options for a dish (sauce, topping, extra ingredient). Add-ons can be priced or free.
How do I set up a happy hour discount?
In the category settings, create a discount, set the percentage, choose days of the week, and set the time range. For example, −20% on drinks every day from 4 PM to 6 PM.
Does the cart affect how servers work?
The cart helps, not replaces, the server. Guests build the order themselves, and the server receives it already complete — fewer mistakes, fewer clarifications.
