Guest experience
They never download a thing.
No app store, no password, no account. The menu, the order, the waiter and the bill all live behind the same small code.

The AI layer / grounded in the restaurant
An assistant that has read the menu.
It knows the dish, the price, the prep time and the note the kitchen already wrote. It does not invent a special, a stock count or an allergen.
A menu assistant, not a search box
Reads tonight's menu, the price, the heat and the allergens.
Demand before the rush
Sales history and time of day become a prep number the manager can act on.
The slow dish, named early
Low-stock ingredients and long station times are flagged while there is still time.
Suggestions need a manager's approval. Guest-facing allergen information always comes from the menu record, never from a model.

Payments / Nigeria first
Pay the way the room pays.
The bill is not one method. The table can split between a card, a transfer and cash, and the pass still sees one settled receipt.
Wallets, honestly
Apple Pay and Google Pay are shown only when the provider, device and country support them. In Nigeria, Paystack covers cards, transfer and USSD first. The QR menu never depends on a wallet.

From the rooms / demo stories
The quieter service is the point.
Illustrative stories from the demo, not paid testimonials.
“The QR menu paid for itself in the first weekend. Guests order a second drink without flagging anyone down, and the pass finally sees every ticket in one place.”
“We run three rooms and two kitchens. The table board tells me where the night is stuck before a guest has to tell me.”
“The best part is what it does not do. No app, no account for the guest, no new hardware. They scan, order, and the kitchen gets it.”
Start small
Start with
one room.
Put the code on every table, run a weekend and watch the pass. If the room is calmer, keep it. If not, take the cards off the tables.

Questions
Before you put a code on the table.
The short answers. The longer ones are a conversation with the team.
hello@sideplate.onlineDoes a guest need to download anything?
No. Scanning the code opens the restaurant's own web page. There is no app, no account and no password. A name at checkout is optional.
Which payments can we take?
In Nigeria the demo presents Paystack card, bank transfer, USSD and cash. Apple Pay and Google Pay are only surfaced where the provider, device and country support them. This build collects no money.
We already have a POS. Does this replace it?
The platform is built to sit beside the kitchen and the floor, not to rip out a working POS. The menu, table state and service requests can stay here while payments settle through your existing provider.
What happens when the internet drops?
In this frontend demo, state lives in the browser, so nothing leaves the device. A real deployment needs a local queue and a clear offline state before it can promise service without a connection.
Is the AI deciding prices?
No. The assistant reads the menu, availability and the table bill. It can suggest a dish or a prep number, but a manager approves changes and it never invents an ingredient, an allergen or a price.
Built for the room, not the app store.
