QR menu and table ordering for cafés in Rabat
Cafés in Rabat serve, from morning to night, regulars who come back every day and know what they want.
Rabat runs on government offices and students: weekday lunches around the ministries and Hay Riad, Agdal cafés full in the afternoon, weekend walks between the medina and the Bouregreg.
Start the free trialWhat matters in Rabat
In Agdal, near the Mohammed V University faculties, students stay for hours and order a little at a time. Each one adds items from the table without calling the waiter, and the "my items" bill saves the maths when they leave.
When AS FAR or the national team play, cafés with a screen are full long before kick-off. Turn on match mode from your phone: evening prices for the whole room and a minimum per table if you need one.
During Ramadan, cafés in the centre and Agdal stay open late after tarawih. The Soirée look and a late day start keep the night service in the same cash day.
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
My Rabat crowd is mostly students: how do I stop tables leaving without paying?
Every guest sees the bill on the phone and can pay their own share. If a table is closed without payment, your phone gets an alert at once. For a snack bar, counter mode takes payment before cooking.
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.
