5 guides
Table ordering suits places where guests sit down and order more than once: cafés, lounges, casual and tourist restaurants. It suits counter service and multi-vendor food halls less well, and fine dining only with a light touch.
Each guide says where it fits and where another setup is better. For the product pages by venue, see WaiterPilot for your kind of restaurant.

At a big table, each phone that scans the QR code gets its own chat and cart, and all share one live bill. With WaiterPilot, staff confirm the table's first order; later rounds go straight to the kitchen. Guests split the bill evenly or by phone and pay your staff. Allergy decisions stay with staff, and very large or set-menu parties are still better served by a person.

Where table ordering helps a tourist-area restaurant: menu questions, waiter calls and split bills. Where it doesn't, a fit check, and a worked busy evening.
