From the table straight to the POS
A QR code on every table: {cafe}.qr.lacafe.app/{table}. The guest opens the menu, fills the cart, orders. The order lands on the POS and the waiter only delivers.
Cafe
Cafe ordering system: QR menu, counter display and your own site
A small room, fast turnover, one or two staff. Guests order and pay by QR from the table. Pickup orders come from your site. The POS is laBoard or the iiko you already have.
Familiar pains
- At lunch all 10 tables fill at once. One waiter takes orders, the other can't carry fast enough.
- A guest queues at the counter to pay a UZS 40,000 bill. The table stays occupied while the next guest waits at the door.
- The menu photo on Instagram is three months old. Prices changed and the guest argues.
- Takeaway orders by phone: 'Two lagman, one... no, three.' The cashier mishears and the guest arrives to find no order.
- The POS is one program, QR another service, the website a third. Three logins, three menus, none of them match.
What you get
Pay from the phone, no queue
Guests close the bill themselves: Payme, Click, UzQR or WLCM. They never walk to the counter. The table frees up 10 minutes sooner.
laMenu at the counter
A view-only menu with no cart, included in the package at no extra cost. It connects straight to the cloud, no server or LAN needed. Change a price in the admin panel and the display updates.
Pickup from your own site
{cafe}.guest.lacafe.app or your own domain. The guest picks from the menu, sets a time, pays. The order arrives at the POS and in Telegram. The site comes with every package from Start, with no separate fee.
One menu across every channel
Change it once in the admin panel: QR, site, laMenu, Telegram bot. Per-channel visibility, so a business lunch can show only on QR. Three languages, photos, nutrition facts.
With or without a POS
Have iiko? We connect through the plugin, prices and stop list come from there. No POS? laBoard becomes your till on an iPad or Android tablet, included in the package.

Price example
Monthly cost for a 10-table cafe
One branch, QR on 10 tables, laMenu at the counter, a pickup site. About 250 QR orders plus 200 site orders a month makes 450, inside the 500 orders of the Start package: UZS 600,000 a month. If lunch gets busy and you hit 700 orders: 600,000 + 200 × 1,200 = UZS 840,000, still cheaper than Light (1,200,000). QR, laMenu and laBoard are not billed as devices.
- Start: 1 branch, 500 orders — UZS 600,000/month
- Table QR, laMenu, laBoard — unlimited in the package
- 700 orders: 600,000 + 200 × 1,200 = UZS 840,000/month
Questions & answers
How much does a cafe QR menu cost?
There is no per-table fee: laQR comes with the Start package (UZS 600,000 a month, 1 branch, 500 orders) and tables are unlimited. Go over the order limit and nothing stops; each extra order is UZS 1,200. Print the QR once — the address never changes.
I don't have a POS. Can laCafe be the till?
Yes. laBoard is a POS tablet: hall, orders, payments. iOS and Android, included in the package. When you grow into iiko, we connect it through the plugin.
How is this different from Dastur-xon or BROS?
They are a cheap start for a small cafe: Dastur-xon from UZS 99,000, BROS at $15 a month. If you do not need iiko/r_keeper, table tablets or a kiosk, they will do. laCafe adds iiko/r_keeper, laTable, laKiosk, a site on your own domain and Yandex Eats/Uzum Tezkor.
Does the guest need to install an app?
No. The QR opens from the camera and runs in the browser (PWA). Same for the site. There is a laGuest iPhone app, but it is optional.
What happens if the internet drops?
laCafe runs in the cloud, so QR, the site and laMenu wait for the internet to come back. If you run iiko, the till keeps working on its own and the cashier enters orders straight into it. Once the connection returns, the menu and stop list update themselves.
How do I set up the pickup site?
Create a site in the admin panel: logo, cover, colour, texts, with a live preview. Pick service modes: pickup, delivery, dine-in, reservations. The address {cafe}.guest.lacafe.app works right away; connect your own domain later.

Raising the Average Check Without Pressuring the Waiter
"Offer the dessert" is said before every shift. By the evening nobody does it: the waiter is rushed, the room is full, it slips. Tying the average check to the interface rather than to a person is far more reliable. Seven methods below, each with a number.

Most owners start automating with the till, and that is where the expensive mistake happens. The real starting point is the guest's order path: where they sit, how they call, how they pay. Here is that path, step by step, with numbers.
