Digital menu and online orders for restaurants and cafés in Sri Lanka
Printed menus get old the day prices change. Delivery apps take a share of every order. A digital menu with direct online ordering fixes both: customers tap a card or scan a QR code, see your menu with photos, and order straight from you.
Why Sri Lankan restaurants are switching
- Prices change often. Ingredient costs go up and down. A digital menu updates in seconds without reprinting.
- Commission eats profit. Delivery apps are useful for discovery, but regular customers can order from you directly.
- Busy staff. Customers who can browse and order themselves need less waiting time at the table and phone.
- Photos sell. A picture of your kottu, rice and curry or cake sells better than a line of text.
How a digital menu with online orders works
- You add your menu items, categories, photos and prices in the dashboard.
- You put an NFC card or QR code on tables, the counter, takeaway bags and your social media.
- The customer taps, picks items, chooses delivery, pickup or dine-in, and confirms with their email.
- You get the order with a sound alert, accept it and update the status. The customer is kept informed.
Features that matter
- Categories and labels like Popular, New, Spicy or Vegetarian.
- Stock and “Sold out” so nobody orders what you do not have.
- Notes on each item such as “no sugar” or “extra spicy”.
- Delivery fee, minimum order and service charge that you control.
- Choose a time for pickup or delivery inside your opening hours.
- Pause orders when the kitchen is full, while the menu stays visible.
- Verified orders so fake orders do not waste your time.
Table cards: the easiest upgrade
A small NFC + QR stand on each table lets guests see the menu, call staff on WhatsApp, leave a Google review and follow you on Instagram. One card does four jobs. Many cafés place one at the counter for reviews and one per table for the menu.
