QR MOBILE ORDER

Short-staffed, no shared language,the orders keep coming.

Guests scan the table QR and order on their own phone in seven languages. Orders go straight to the kitchen.

Four walls every small restaurant hits.

Not enough hands

When the floor fills up, nobody can take orders. Guests wave and go unnoticed. The busiest nights are the ones losing the most.

You cannot serve a guest you cannot talk to

Pointing and a translation app tie up one table while the rest wait. The dish worth recommending never gets explained, so the safest thing on the menu wins.

Hardware costs too much

Tablets and handhelds for the whole floor run to hundreds of thousands of yen. That is a big decision for something you only wanted to try.

No visibility into numbers

What sold, when, and how much. Prep quantities and pricing end up being a matter of instinct.

Foreign guests are not an occasional event any more.

Korea sends more visitors to Japan than anywhere else, with China and Taiwan close behind. PIQU serves Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and Thai from the same single QR. No separate printed menus, no swapping the code on the table.

How it plays out on the floor.

Not one extra device. The only thing that appears is a small card on each table.

What it looks like in the room.

In the guest's hands, in the kitchen, at the counter after closing. One order passing through three places.

One order, four people, at the same moment.

From the moment a guest orders to the moment the bill is settled, everyone is looking at the same order in the same state. Far less gets relayed wrong or misheard.

Your guests

Guest ordering page

Scan the QR on the table, and that is it. No app to install, no account to create. They pick from a menu with photos and order straight away, in Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese or Thai, and the guest switches language themselves.

Kitchen staff

Kitchen display

New, cooking and ready in three columns. Tickets turn amber at ten minutes and red at twenty, so a table falling behind is obvious. Allergy notes show on the card.

Billing

Follow-up orders from the same table merge into one bill automatically. When a table cannot be settled you can still close it with a reason, so revenue matches reality.

Common questions

Do guests have to install an app?

No. Scanning the QR opens the ordering page in their browser, and there is no sign-up. The moment you ask someone to install an app, most of them give up.

Do I need tablets or handheld terminals?

No. Guests order on their own phones. For the kitchen side, a tablet or computer you already own works, and so does a spare phone.

Does it work without Wi-Fi in the restaurant?

Guests are on their mobile connection, so in-store Wi-Fi is not required. Only the device running the kitchen display needs to be online.

How long does setup take?

Registering takes a few minutes. Your store is created with a sample menu and table QR codes already in place, so swap in your menu, print the codes, and you can use it for tonight's service.

Do I have to translate the menu into English, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and Thai myself?

Enter Japanese and the AI writes the English, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and Thai for you, on the Pro plan. It keeps the identity of the dish, writing Karaage (Japanese fried chicken) rather than plain fried chicken, and you can edit anything afterwards. On the free plan you type the other languages in yourself.

Can I stop partway through?

Cancel any time. There is no setup fee and no cancellation fee, so nothing is lost if it turns out not to suit you.
