FAQ
Common questions
Straight answers about money, setup and your staff.
What is QR table ordering?
QR table ordering lets diners scan a QR code on their table, see the menu on their phone, order and pay without waiting for a waiter. With swadhscan, the order goes straight to your kitchen screen and the payment goes straight to your UPI ID.
Do diners need to download an app?
No. The menu opens in the phone browser after a scan. There is no app, sign-up or login for diners.
Do you take a commission on orders or payments?
No. You pay a flat monthly fee and ₹0 per order. Diners pay by UPI directly to your own UPI ID, so there is no payment gateway fee and no waiting for settlement.
How do I know a diner has really paid?
Your staff confirm it. When a diner pays, the bill shows 'Payment started'. It is marked paid only after your staff check the money reached your account, so a screenshot can't fool you.
Can someone place a fake order with a photo of the table QR?
No. The first order from every table waits for one tap from a waiter, and the table closes after payment. Waiters can also reset a table at any time.
Do I need a printer or new hardware?
No. Orders show on a kitchen screen that runs on any Android phone or tablet. Keep it plugged in and it rings for every new order.
Can my waiters still take orders the usual way?
Yes. Waiters can place an order for any table from their phone, for diners who don't want to scan.
What happens when a dish runs out?
Mark it sold out with one tap and it greys out on every diner phone at once. If someone already has it in their cart, they are told before the order is sent.
Which languages does it support?
English, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Marathi, Bengali and 14 more Indian languages. Each diner, waiter or owner picks their language on their own phone and the screen is translated automatically. You write the menu once, in English.
What do you set up for me?
We type your menu from a photo, print QR stands for every table and train your staff in about 30 minutes. The one-time setup fee of ₹1,499 covers all of it, and it is free on yearly plans.
How much does it cost?
Café is ₹699 a month for up to 10 tables. Restaurant is ₹1,199 a month for 11 to 30 tables. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial.
Does it work with my billing software or print GST bills?
Not yet. swadhscan is built for restaurants that don't use billing software today. GST bill format and billing software connections are planned.
Is my restaurant data safe?
Yes. Each restaurant's data is kept separate, staff sign in with their Google account, and only the owner can change the UPI ID, staff or settings. Prices and totals are always worked out on our server, never on the diner's phone.
