QR menu and table ordering for cafés in Tetouan
Running a café in Tetouan means handling dozens of small orders without losing a single one.
Tetouan, with its white medina and Andalusian heritage, runs on students in winter and on the beaches of Martil, M'diq and Cabo Negro in summer.
Start the free trialWhat matters in Tetouan
In summer the beaches of Martil, M'diq and Cabo Negro draw families from Fez, Rabat, Casablanca and many Moroccans from abroad. When the crowd jumps in a single week, the waiter app and kitchen screen keep pace without training a new team.
Abdelmalek Essaadi University fills cafés and snack bars between Tetouan and Martil through the year. Pay-first at the counter and splitting the bill by item suit student budgets.
Winter is rainy in Tetouan and life moves indoors. With a tighter room, each waiter takes their tables for the day, and the Wi-Fi password sits in the menu for guests who stay a while.
On Moghreb Tetouan match nights, at Saniat Rmel stadium or on TV, cafés are packed. Match mode sets the evening's prices and can require a minimum per table.
Service in a café or tea room
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions
My venue near Tetouan mostly works in summer: is it worth it for one season?
There is no hardware to buy: the team's phones and a tablet are enough, and setup takes one evening. Reports by day and by waiter then show what the season really brought in.
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.
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.
