UPI QR Code for Restaurants & Cloud Kitchen Payments
Use table tent QRs, delivery bag stickers, and fixed-price menu QRs for dine-in, takeaway, and cloud kitchen orders in India.

Restaurants juggle dine-in bills, Swiggy/Zomato settlements, and direct WhatsApp orders. A direct UPI QR on every table and delivery bag captures walk-in and own-channel orders without aggregator commission.
Three QR Placements
1. Table Tent (Dine-In)

2. Fixed-Price Menu Items
- Chai ₹30, lunch thali ₹120 — use dynamic amount QR per item on menu board.
- Reduces underpayment errors at self-service counters.
3. Cloud Kitchen / WhatsApp Orders
- Send dynamic QR in order confirmation WhatsApp with exact order total +

UPI vs Aggregator Settlement
| Channel | Commission | Settlement |
|---|---|---|
| Swiggy/Zomato | 18–28%+ | Weekly, deductions |

Many restaurants push repeat customers to WhatsApp ordering with UPI QR to save aggregator fees.
