TableTap
Guests scan a QR code at the table, sunbed or room, order and pay on their phone.
TableTap is QR ordering with prepayment for hotels, resorts, beach clubs and restaurants. Guests scan the code, order and pay by card, GCash, Maya or MobilePay without installing anything. The order lands on the staff's live board with a chime, and a waiter brings it. Several currencies, local tax, service charge and tips are built in.

The problem
- Guests at a pool or beach wait to get a waiter's attention.
- Taking and keying in orders by hand causes errors and slow service.
- Payment at the end causes queues and unpaid tabs.
The product
A web ordering page per table, sunbed or room. Guests see the menu in their language, order and pay up front. Staff work from a live board (new, preparing, ready, served) with sound alerts. Managers edit menus, prices and opening hours themselves.
- The guest scans the QR code at their spot; no app needed.
- They choose items, add notes and pay by card or wallet.
- The order appears on the staff board with a chime.
- Kitchen and bar move it through preparing and ready.
- A waiter delivers it to the exact table, sunbed or room.
