Q: How does QR code ordering work?
A: Print QR codes for tables or counters from admin. Customer scans with phone camera → mobile menu opens → add items to cart → tap WhatsApp checkout. Order saves in your dashboard with a bill in your currency (INR, AED or USD).

Q: How does WhatsApp ordering work in India and UAE?

Q: Is GST billing supported for Indian restaurants?
A: Yes. Set your GST/tax rate in Settings (e.g. 5% or 12%). Cart, POS and auto-bills calculate tax on subtotal. Works for Kerala cafes, Kochi restaurants and pan-India F&B.
