Supports unlimited categories and menu items. Update prices, toggle availability, and add photos in real time from any device.

2

Place QR codes on tables

Print and place unique QR codes on each table. Every table gets its own scannable ordering entry point — no extra hardware required.

QR codes are auto-generated per table. Customers scan with any smartphone camera — no app download needed.

3

Customers scan, order, and pay

Guests view your digital menu, add items to cart, place the order, and pay online — all from their phone.

Kitchen gets live order tickets

KDS shows new, preparing, and ready status. Staff can update order status from the kitchen screen in one tap.

Inventory auto-updates

When an order is completed, FrontPe automatically deducts ingredients based on your recipe mapping. No manual stock entry.

Set up ingredient-to-menu-item recipes once. FrontPe handles auto-consumption, low-stock alerts, and supplier purchase orders.

POS & Billing

Does FrontPe have a POS system?+

Yes. FrontPe includes a restaurant POS with walk-in billing, split payments, void transactions, GST calculation (CGST/SGST/IGST), and daily sales summaries. It works on any tablet or computer without dedicated hardware.

Does FrontPe support GST billing?+

Yes. FrontPe auto-calculates CGST, SGST, and IGST based on your tax configuration and generates GST-compliant invoices for every transaction. Invoices can be downloaded or shared digitally.

QR Menu & Ordering

Can customers order from their phone using QR code?+

Yes. Customers scan the table QR code, view the digital menu, add items to cart, place an order, and pay online — no app download required. The entire flow works on any smartphone browser.

Can I update my menu anytime?+

Yes. You can update prices, images, availability, categories, and item details from the dashboard in real time. Changes reflect instantly on the customer-facing QR menu.
