Phone orders when the kiosk is busy

A QR code by the kiosk opens the same menu in the browser. Guests choose items and pay online with no app or registration required.

From QR to order number

A guest scans the QR by the kiosk to open the menu in a mobile browser. They choose items, pay online, and receive an order number. The order reaches the kitchen via the same route as kiosk orders.
