ScrollTap-to-order means your staff don't have to be in two places at once: guests order in the phone browser with no app, and the ticket lands on your kitchen display.
The guest who wanted another round gives up waiting. With tap-to-order they send it from their seat while your bartenders keep pouring.
Long custom orders pile up at the counter. Guests build their own swaps and extra shots on their phone, and baristas stay on the machine.
Food trucks and lunch counters lose the people who can't wait. The line orders while it waits, straight to the kitchen display.
Orders shouted across a loud room get misheard. Every ticket arrives written out, modifiers and allergens included.
Guests tap the NFC display or scan the QR code and the menu opens in the phone browser. Nothing to download, no account.

"Live within 7 days of your onboarding call, once we have your menu and venue details. If we miss it, your next month is free."
The clock starts at the onboarding call, not at purchase. The guarantee applies to NYC venues across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. Outside NYC, timing is confirmed per venue.
The setup fee is $599, waived for every customer who signs by December 31, 2026. That applies whether you buy online or book a call. The fee is waived, not deleted: if you cancel during the first quarter, the waived $599 becomes payable, together with the remaining monthly fees of that quarter.
Tap-to-order lets a guest tap an NFC card or scan its QR code, open your menu in their phone browser with no app to download, and send the order straight to your kitchen display: the staff portal's live view on a screen you already own.
An NFC card and QR code give guests a simple route to the menu. QR stays available when a guest prefers to scan.
The menu opens in the browser, without downloading an app. Guests review items at their own pace and submit an order.
The order enters the venue workflow and appears on your kitchen display the moment it is placed. Staff remain central to preparing, serving and helping guests.
NFC (near-field communication) is the same short-range tap used for contactless payment, so most modern phones open the menu with a tap. The QR code printed on the same display covers every other phone. Either way, the guest lands on your venue's own ordering site, and the order shows up in the staff portal the moment it is placed. How Tap2Order works
Do guests have to order on their phone? No. It's an option, not a replacement. Guests who want a server still get one, and the paper menu stays. Tap-to-order is there for the guest who is ready now, so the next round doesn't wait for someone to walk past.
A second round, a lunch order, or one more item should not depend on catching someone at exactly the right moment.
Tap2Order gives guests another way to place an order while your team keeps serving. It is designed for hospitality, where staff and service still matter. We set it up in person around your floor, your menu and the way your team already works.
Why we built it
The ordering system is the same everywhere; what changes is where the pressure sits. Here is where tap-to-order earns its place in each kind of NYC venue.
Guests tap the NFC card or scan the QR code, no app, and order the next round from the table or rail instead of waiting to catch a bartender in a loud room.
Bar guide
From a QR scan, custom drink orders arrive written out, so baristas are not relaying oat milk and extra shots by memory.
Café guide
Tap-to-order lets tables add dessert or another drink on their own timing while servers stay present on the floor.
Restaurant guide
A QR or NFC display on the window lets the line order before reaching the front.
Food truck guide
The counter team works from the kitchen display and focuses on preparing and handing off orders during the lunch rush.

Tap2Order has three working parts: a guest ordering site that opens from an NFC tap or QR scan, a staff portal that runs on any device, and live owner data you can check from anywhere, including home.
Guests tap the NFC display on the table, bar or counter, or scan its QR code. Your menu opens in the phone browser with no app download and no guest account. They browse, customize items and place the order when they are ready.
The staff portal is a progressive web app (PWA). Your team opens it on a desktop, laptop, tablet or phone you already own, so there is no dedicated terminal. Orders arrive instantly in a live kitchen and bar view, so a tablet or screen you already have becomes your kitchen display, and staff can update menu items and availability at any time.
Owners and managers can open the same portal from home or another location to see live data: what is selling, when the busy periods hit, and how the night is tracking on the sales dashboard.
When the kitchen is slammed, every plan keeps it readable. Each order lands on the kitchen display in the staff portal written out, with its modifiers and allergens, and moves from New to In progress to Ready as the team works it. If the rush gets ahead of you, pause phone ordering or mark an item sold out in one tap, and the menu behind every display updates.
On the Growth Engine plan, the Algorithm paces the kitchen: each dish is fired by its prep time so a table's food lands together, guests see an honest wait, and new orders slow automatically when the kitchen or bar is maxed. Growth also stops money going in the bin: your stock counts itself from every sale, suggested orders match what you actually sell, waste shows up in dollars, and menu performance shows what earns and what to cut. It adds real-time analytics with peak-hour heatmaps turned into a prep list, smart upsell prompts and timed happy hours with their results, customer patterns that show what regulars reorder and when they come back, and multi-language menus. Pro Command runs your venues on numbers: predictive inventory forecasting, live food cost, labor insights by the hour, a multi-location dashboard for up to 5 locations side by side, and custom integrations. Groups of 6 or more locations and franchises get a Group HQ plan.
Payments stay with you. Guest card payments are processed by your venue's own payment processor at that processor's standard rates, and we set that up with you during onboarding. Tap2Order charges its flat monthly fee and takes no cut of each order, so a busy Friday costs you the same as a quiet Tuesday.
Every plan includes an onboarding call, an in-person install by a uniformed Tap2Order team member, staff training, and a designer-made table display and poster your venue keeps.
We learn the venue: your menu, your tables, your service style and where each order should be handed off.
A uniformed Tap2Order team member comes to your NYC venue, programs and places the printed table displays, and gives a quick in-person demo.
We walk your team through the staff portal and exactly what they need to know for service, without a manual to study.
You keep a designer-made table display and a poster that point guests to your ordering site.
You do not need an IT person or new wiring. The displays are printed and need no power, and the staff portal runs in a browser on devices you already have. Set a laptop or tablet by the pass and it works as your kitchen display. If you want more coverage later, an extra pack of 10 printed, programmed NFC displays is $149 one-time, and an extra on-site staff training visit in NYC is $149 per visit.
Tap2Order is a tap-to-order layer for dine-in and counter guests, not a POS replacement and not a delivery marketplace. You do not replace your POS to use it, and you pay a flat monthly fee.

If you rely on delivery apps, compare the commission too: their cut grows with every order, while Tap2Order is one flat monthly fee. It is a different kind of tool that serves the guests already in your room or at your window.
We work with operators across the five boroughs. Nationwide inquiries are welcome; we confirm availability and the right setup for each venue before making a commitment.
The AI voice ordering agent answers calls and takes orders when staff can't pick up. It is a $149/month add-on on any plan: Essential Core, Growth Engine or Pro Command.
A ringing phone during a rush pulls someone off the floor or goes unanswered. The voice agent gives those callers a way to place an order without taking a bartender or cashier away from the guests in front of them.
