UPI QR Code for Restaurants and Cloud Kitchens: Table & Delivery 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)
- Restaurant Table QR template on Pro UPI QR.
- Acrylic A6 tent with table number printed (
Table 7). - Static QR — customer pays bill amount entered by waiter or self-entered.
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 +
tn=Order882. - Stick mini QR on delivery bag for cashless tip or balance payment.
UPI vs Aggregator Settlement
| Channel | Commission | Settlement |
|---|---|---|
| Swiggy/Zomato | 18–28%+ | Weekly, deductions |
| Direct UPI QR | Free (bank UPI) | Instant bank credit |
Many restaurants push repeat customers to WhatsApp ordering with UPI QR to save aggregator fees.
Operations
- Separate VPAs for dine-in vs catering if books differ.
- Train staff: confirm UPI credit before closing table — soundbox optional (free soundbox setup).
- Waterproof stickers for takeaway bags.
- Social promotion: Instagram/WhatsApp QR.
Hygiene and Placement
- Laminated table tents — wipeable.
