QR menu and table ordering for cafés in Dakhla
In Dakhla, a café is judged by how fast the first tea arrives and how calm the waiter stays when the terrace is full.
On its peninsula facing the lagoon, Dakhla lives off the wind, the sea and kitesurfing. Fishermen, travellers from around the world and business delegations share its tables.

The almost constant wind makes the lagoon a top kitesurf spot, and riders come from all over Europe. An English menu, with allergens and the Wi-Fi in one tap, is the baseline for these guests.
After a session on the water, riders want to eat fast, often still in their gear. At the counter they order on their phone, pay first and get a ring when it is ready, without standing at the till.
Forums, trade shows and official missions regularly bring professional groups to town. They ask for invoices in their company's name: the ICE invoice is prepared at the table and sent on WhatsApp.
Service in a café or tea room
In a café, guests are served at the table and pay at the end, often in cash. Tables fill and empty fast in the morning, then guests stay for a long time in the afternoon and order a second tea or a water. Those small mid-visit orders are the ones that get lost: the waiter walks by, someone calls, he remembers three things and forgets one.
Almost everything goes to the bar: coffee, tea, juice, water. The kitchen, when there is one, mostly makes breakfast and a few plates. So the right setup is a screen or a printer at the bar, and the kitchen for dishes only. On match nights the room fills at once and everyone wants their order before kick-off.

Frequently asked questions
My foreign guests pay by card: does Tablilo take a commission?
No. Guests pay cash, on your own card terminal or through your own online payment account. The money goes straight to you, and Tablilo takes no commission.
Will my regulars really scan a QR code?
Those who want to order fast do, especially younger and busy guests. Others keep calling the waiter, who can key their order on his phone. Both reach the same place, the bar and the bill.
Do I need to buy tablets for a café?
No. Waiters use their own phones and the bar can use a tablet or screen you already have. A ticket printer is possible but not required.
