QR menu and table ordering for cafés in Meknes
Cafés in Meknes serve, from morning to night, regulars who come back every day and know what they want.
Meknes lives between its imperial medina, the Hamria new town and its students, with visitors passing through on their way to Volubilis and Moulay Idriss.

Facing El Hedim square and Bab Mansour, many visitors make a short stop before moving on. They order as soon as they sit, in English or French, and the kitchen gets the ticket at once.
Moulay Ismail University students want quick food at a fair price. In counter mode they pay first and wait for their phone to ring instead of crowding the till.
On nights when CODM play, cafés in Hamria and the medina live to the rhythm of the match. The manager switches on match mode from the phone, and normal prices come back by themselves the next day.
During Ramadan, evenings stretch well past tarawih. Set a late day start and pick the Soirée look: the menu follows instantly, with no need to reprint QR codes.
Every spring the International Agriculture Show brings exhibitors and visitors to Meknes from across the country and abroad. Business meals, ICE invoices, guests in a hurry: that is the week when the waiter app and kitchen screen matter most.
Service in a café or tea room
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.
A café bill is small but tables are many. What costs money is not one big mistake, it is a dozen small slips a day: a juice not written down, a table that left without paying during the rush, a cancellation with no reason. A café tool must therefore record every item ordered and every table closed.

Frequently asked questions
During the Agriculture Show my Meknes restaurant is overrun: how do I keep up?
Add extra waiters on their own phones with a PIN, and give each one their tables. The kitchen screen colours the tickets that are waiting, and company guests request their ICE invoice from the phone.
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.
What happens on match nights?
You or your manager turn on match mode: match prices apply to the whole room, with a minimum per table if you want. It stops by itself at the start of the next day.
