QR menu for lounges and rooftops in Marrakech
For a rooftop in Marrakech, the mood brings guests in, but the service is what brings them back.
Marrakech lives off tourism all year, but also off loyal local guests in Gueliz and the neighbourhoods. The same venue often serves foreign visitors at lunch and Marrakchi families at night.
Start the free trialWhat matters in Marrakech
Around Jemaa el-Fna and in the medina, many tables are foreign visitors. Guests switch the menu to English or French themselves, a photo explains a tanjia better than a paragraph, and allergen tags answer the question before it is asked.
On medina rooftops the kitchen is often two floors down. Water, the bill or a call land on the phone of the waiter who runs the terrace: fewer trips up and down the stairs.
In summer the heat empties terraces in the afternoon and everything happens after sunset. When the rush arrives all at once, the waiter app and kitchen screen stop paper tickets going missing.
Service in a lounge or rooftop
Bills are higher and often split between friends or paid by a company. Tips matter to the team. And because tables stay open for hours, a table closed without payment at the end of the night must show up at once.
Lounge service stretches over hours. A table starts with mocktails, adds a sharing board, then desserts, then another round. Each addition is a chance to forget when the waiter does not pass often enough, and a lost sale when the guest does not like to call him over.

Frequently asked questions
My Marrakech guests are mostly tourists: do they need to install an app?
No. They scan the QR with the phone camera, with no account, and pick French, English or Arabic. If their foreign plan has weak signal, the menu opens offline after the first visit, and the Wi-Fi password is one tap away.
Can each waiter have their own tables?
Yes. Each waiter picks the tables they serve tonight, and those tables' calls ring on their phone. If they are away, the calls ring for the whole team.
Can the menu have a dark background?
Yes. The Soirée look shows the menu on a black background, in your colour if it is light enough. You can switch looks any time and the menu follows at once.
