The barista only makes coffee
Guests choose from the QR at the table: milk type, syrup, size, with min/max modifiers. The order lands on the POS. No back-and-forth, and the barista never leaves the machine.

Coffee shop QR menu: order, pay and earn cashback from one code
8:30 a.m., six people in line for a cappuccino. Guests order by QR from the table, pay with Click, and pick up when the barista marks it ready. Regulars earn cashback and order ahead from your site.
Familiar pains
- The morning rush: the barista takes orders, counts cash and steams milk, all one person.
- 'Do you have oat milk? Which syrups? How much is a large?' The same two-minute exchange with every guest.
- You have regulars, but nobody knows how often they come. The cardboard stamp card gets lost.
- Five people from the office show up at once: 'We called ahead.' Nobody wrote it down.
- The menu is chalk on a board. A new drink means rewriting the board. Instagram still shows the old price.
What you get
Pay on the phone: Payme, Click, WLCM
Guests close the bill themselves. No counting cash, no change. The only queue at the counter is to collect the coffee.
Cashback instead of stamp cards
You set the percentage and the unit name, say 'coffee points'. The guest CRM shows profile, orders, balance and source (QR, site, Telegram). Automatic redemption at checkout is coming soon; for now the cashier applies it.
Order ahead from your site
{coffeeshop}.guest.lacafe.app or your own domain. The office orders five lattes from the site, pays, picks a time. The order arrives at the POS and in Telegram.
laMenu instead of the chalkboard
A tablet at the counter, included in the package, connected straight to the cloud. Add a drink in the admin panel and it shows on the tablet, QR and site at once. Photos, GIFs, video.
Happy hour on autopilot
A discount rule: product, percent or amount, weekday and time window. Mon–Fri 3–5 p.m. latte −20%, applied automatically. If several rules match, the biggest saving wins.

Questions & answers
How much does a coffee shop QR menu cost?
There is no per-table fee: laQR comes with Start (UZS 600,000 a month, 1 branch, 500 orders) and QR codes are unlimited. You can also hang one shared QR at the counter. Each order over 500 on Start is UZS 1,200, and service never stops.
How does cashback work?
Set the percentage and unit name in the admin panel. Guests sign in on the site or QR with their phone number (SMS or Telegram) and see the balance in their profile. Automatic redemption at checkout is not there yet; the cashier applies it. Coming soon.
Do guests need to install an app?
No. The QR opens from the camera and runs in the browser (PWA) with a native feel. Guests who want it can install the laGuest iPhone app: favourites, order history, QR scanner.
I have no POS software. What do I do?
laBoard is a POS tablet, included in the package. Orders, payments, stop list. iPad or Android. When you grow into iiko, we connect it through the plugin.
How do order-ahead orders arrive?
The guest picks 'Pickup' on the site, sets a time, pays. The order lands on the POS and a Telegram notification arrives. The barista prepares it and the guest walks in and collects.
Does it work with iiko?
Yes. The plugin runs inside iikoFront; QR and site orders go straight into iiko, and prices and stop list come from there. r_keeper connects too (modifiers coming soon).
