QR code table ordering for restaurants in Marrakech
For a restaurant in Marrakech, table service is won or lost between the kitchen and the floor.
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.

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.
Gueliz and Hivernage mix locals, foreign residents and hotel guests, and many pick where to eat on Google. After paying, each guest can rate the visit and open your Google page in one tap.
Service in a restaurant
The average ticket is higher than in a café, so every mistake counts: a dish cancelled without a trace, a discount given by hand, a free dessert the owner never heard of. A restaurant needs a clear history, line by line.
A restaurant serves at the table, takes payment at the end and lives by the pace of courses. A tajine that comes out before the salad, or a table of six served in three waves, leaves a bad memory even when the food is good. The hard part is not taking the order, it is getting it out at the right time.

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 I issue invoices for business meals?
Yes. The guest asks for an ICE invoice with their company name and 15-digit ICE. Your ICE, IF and RC appear on it, and it is printed or sent by WhatsApp.
Can coffee and dessert wait until the end of the meal?
Yes. With course pacing, the guest picks "All together" or "After the meal" when ordering. In the second case, coffee and dessert are held until the guest sends them from the phone.
