A free QR menu that guests can order from
Guests scan a QR code on their table, your menu opens in their phone's browser, and they order from it. The order reaches your WhatsApp with the table number on it. The menu link and table ordering are free, with no commission.

From your dashboard to the table, and the order back to your phone
Here is the whole path: you set how many tables you have, print a card for each one, the guest scans it, and the order lands in your WhatsApp with the table number on it. Guests need nothing but their phone camera.
Steps 1 and 2 are Pro. Your first store gets Pro free for 14 days, so you can print the cards straight away. On the free plan, skip straight to step 3 and make each table's code yourself, as the section on making the codes explains.
Set the number of tables
In your Kedaify dashboard open Settings, then How to order & pay, and set how many tables you have. One number, and every table gets its own code.
Print the table cards
Open Share, then Table QR. Each card carries your shop's name and colour, the table number and a kedaify.com strip. Print them four or nine to an A4 sheet.
Guests scan at the table
A normal phone camera is enough. Your menu opens in the browser with photos, prices and options, and a banner tells the guest which table they're at.
The order arrives with the table on it
It reaches your WhatsApp, and your dashboard's order list, marked Table 4. You carry it to the right table.
- The menu link and ordering from the table: Free
- Printed table cards and the poster: Pro
- The 14-day Pro trial: print them right away
- Not a payment code: it opens your menu
What a QR menu is, and what it changes
A QR menu replaces, or sits beside, the printed menu. A guest points their camera at a code on the table, and your menu opens on their phone: photos, prices, what's in each dish. Nothing to wipe down, nothing to reprint when a price changes.
Most QR menus stop there, and the guest still waves for a server. When the menu can also take the order, the guest orders when they're ready, and you skip the walk to the table and back. That matters most at lunch, when every table wants to order at once.
Scan at the table, and the table number comes along
Every table gets its own code. The code opens your menu with the table number attached, and a banner tells the guest which table they're at, so they don't have to type it or remember it.
Table ordering works on the free plan. The code just has to open your link with the table number at the end: yourshop.kedaify.com/?meja=4 is Table 4, and any QR maker can turn that into a code. Pro makes the whole set for you, one per table, ready to print.
A menu that keeps itself current
Change a price or add a dish from your phone and the menu changes for the next guest who scans. Mark something sold out and it stays on the menu but can't be ordered, so nobody falls in love with the last slice of cake after it's gone.
Your best sellers get a label on their own, from what actually sells. And the top of the menu shows whether you're open now, taken from your opening hours.
Guests order without waiting for a server
Guests add dishes and drinks to a cart and choose their options, like the size of a coffee or the milk that goes in it, each with its price. The cart shows their table and the total before they send it.
A second round is the same: scan again, or open the order page they already have, and add more. Nobody has to catch a server's eye to ask for another coffee.
The order reaches you with the table on it
The order goes to your WhatsApp with every item, the options, the total and the table number, in the same layout every time. Whoever holds the café phone can read it out to the bar or the kitchen at once.
The order is in your dashboard's list from the moment the guest taps send, even if the chat never goes out, and the dashboard can ring your phone when one comes in. If you've added your payment QR or bank account, guests can also pay and send the order without opening WhatsApp.
The guest can follow their order
After sending, the guest has a page for their order that shows when it's been received and when it's done. They can order the same again from it, or leave a review once they've eaten.
If they pay before leaving by bank transfer or e-wallet, the same page has the exact amount and your account details, and you mark it paid when the money's in.
Making the codes for your tables
On Pro, set your number of tables in Settings, then open Share and choose Table QR. Kedaify makes a card for every table, carrying your shop's name and colour and the table number, ready to print, plus a poster for the door or the counter that opens your menu. Print them on sticker paper or slide them into table stands.
On the free plan you can make the codes yourself with any QR maker, from your link with the table number at the end. Your first store has Pro free for its first 14 days, so you can print the whole set while you try it.
