How does Set up QR codes work in Jimani?

Answer

Under QR codes you set up, per table, a QR code with which a guest can call the waiter. You choose the tables, create the address of the QR code, choose a point of sale (printer) and save. The guest then sees a simple Service page.

Where to find it

Settings > Till and products > QR codes, click Set up (/QRCode/QRCodeSetup). The QR codes add-on must be on (€10 per month, only with the online webshop).

Explanation

The Set up QR codes window says: With a QR code on the table a guest can call the waiter or order themselves. Ordering yourself via the QR code is not finished yet; the QR code currently only calls the waiter. The window has two choices: QR codes (Order QR codes for your tables in our webshop. You can link each QR code to a table later. Button Buy table QR codes, which does not open anything yet: print the cards yourself with Create QR code) and Set up QR codes (Set up the QR codes for your tables, turn on the services you want and link each table to the right point of sale. Button Set up). Step by step it is in Can a guest order and pay at the table with a QR code?.
