Table self-service · POS add-on
The guest scans, orders and pays from their own phone
A QR on every table. The guest reads the menu in their own language, sends their order and — if you want — pays from their phone. The order lands in the POS ticket and prints in the kitchen, exactly as if a waiter had typed it.
€44.98/month all-in (POS €29.99 + module €14.99). 0% commission from Bouzon Digital on the order and on the payment. No setup fee, no per-terminal licence, no lock-in.
Switch on what helps you, not the whole bundle
In Settings you pick one of three modes. It changes in one screen, at any time.
| Order | The guest scans, reads the menu and sends their order. It lands in the POS ticket and prints in the kitchen, with nobody typing it in. |
| Pay | The guest sees their bill and pays from their phone, by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Requires a connected Stripe account. |
| Both | Order and pay without raising a hand. This is what we switch on by default when Stripe is connected. |
The maths of QR payment, without slogans
We take no commission. But if the guest pays with their phone, the money moves through Stripe, and Stripe charges 1.5% + €0.25 on a domestic card — the same as your card terminal charges you. That fixed €0.25 weighs differently depending on your ticket:
| €15 ticket | 3.2% effective |
| €30 ticket | 2.3% effective |
| €50 ticket | 2.0% effective |
| €100 ticket | 1.75% effective |
And here is what matters: that is not an extra cost. It is a card acquiring fee — the same kind of commission your bank already charges you on every card payment you take on your terminal. If the guest pays with their phone instead of on the terminal you carry to the table, no new charge appears: it is the same card payment on a different rail. What changes is that nobody has to walk the terminal over or wait until a member of staff is free to take payment.
What your bank charges you today depends on your bank and on what you negotiated back then, so we are not going to print a number here that is not yours: check your own statement and compare. What is worth looking at is the other column — bank card terminals usually add a monthly rental for the device, and here there is no device to rent.
The honest conclusion: at a medium-to-high ticket, QR payment is reasonable. In a bar with a €10–15 ticket the fixed part makes it expensive, and there the value of this module is in the ordering, not the collecting: an order that lands by itself at peak time saves you two trips per table. Which is why you can switch on "Order" alone. And if the guest orders by QR and pays at the table on your own terminal or in cash, this module adds nothing at all: €0.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost?
It is a POS add-on: +€14.99/month on top of the €29.99/month POS, so €44.98/month in total. It is not sold separately because it cannot exist without the POS: it needs your tables, your ticket and your open till. No lock-in and no setup fee.
What commission do you take per order or per payment?
None. Bouzon Digital takes no percentage of the order or the payment. That said, let us be precise: if the guest pays by QR the money moves through Stripe, and Stripe charges its gateway fee — 1.5% + €0.25 on a domestic card. And it is worth understanding what that is, because it is not an extra charge: it is a card acquiring fee, the same kind of commission your bank already charges you on every payment taken on your terminal. You are not adding a cost, you are taking the same card payment on a different rail — without carrying the terminal to the table. What your bank charges you today depends on your bank and what you negotiated, so compare it against your own statement; and bear in mind that a bank terminal usually adds a monthly rental for the device, which does not exist here. If the guest orders by QR and pays at the table on your own terminal or in cash, this module adds nothing: €0.
So is QR payment worth it for me or not?
It depends on your average ticket, and that deserves numbers rather than slogans. Stripe's fixed €0.25 weighs differently depending on what you charge: on €15 it is an effective 3.2%, on €30 it is 2.3%, on €50 it is 2.0% and on €100 it is 1.75%. In other words, at a medium-to-high ticket QR payment is reasonable, and in a bar with a €10–15 ticket the fixed part makes it expensive. Which is why in a tapas bar the value of this module is not in collecting, it is in ordering: an order that lands by itself at peak time saves you a couple of trips per table.
Can I switch on ordering only, without payment?
Yes, and it is a one-screen decision. In Settings you choose Order, Pay or Both. Plenty of venues start with Order only — which is where the staffing saving is — and enable payment later, or never. Enabling payment requires a connected Stripe account; without one the option appears greyed out with a link to connect it.
Does the order reach a waiter or go straight to the kitchen?
It lands in that table's ticket inside the POS and prints in the kitchen, exactly as if a waiter had typed it. It is not a separate inbox somebody has to watch and copy across by hand: if it were, at peak time it would become more work, not less.
What language does the guest see the menu in?
Theirs. The menu detects the language of the phone's browser and shows in Spanish or English accordingly, with allergens. In an area with international tourism that removes the bottleneck of explaining the menu table by table, which is what actually slows service down in August.
Do I have to change POS or buy anything?
No. It is a module of the POS you already have, switched on from the panel and running on the same devices. The table QR posters are printable. No new hardware, no per-terminal licence, no setup fee.
It switches on over the POS you already have
It is a module of the Bouzon POS (€29.99/month, Verifactu-certified, no proprietary hardware). You can watch it running in the two-minute demo.
