QR code menu in Toulouse: digital menu and table ordering
In Toulouse, people have lunch upstairs at the Victor Hugo market, above the stalls where the cooks do their shopping, and meet in the evening on Place Saint-Pierre, by the Garonne, especially on rugby nights. A menu that follows the morning market, a room that fills with students at night: ScanEat is built for both rhythms, with a menu you change from your phone and an order that starts at the table.
A menu that follows the market
Victor Hugo, Les Carmes, Saint-Cyprien: the covered markets open from Tuesday to Sunday, and on Sunday mornings the open-air market sets up around Saint-Aubin. A menu written from their stalls changes from one day to the next. With ScanEat, you add the dish of the day, change a price or take a dish off from your phone, and the next guest sees the updated menu, with nothing to reprint.
A dish that runs out is marked sold out with one tap: every table sees it at the same moment, and nobody can order it any more. For the Fête de la Violette in February, or during the Christmas market on Place du Capitole, a seasonal dessert goes on the menu in the morning and comes off whenever you decide.
One long table of students, one order
If your room gets students from the Arsenal, Le Mirail or Rangueil, you know the long table where nobody has the same thing. Each person scans the table's QR code and adds their dishes from their own phone, with the sizes and extras you offer. The table sends one order, which says who added what.
On match nights, when the bars of Place Saint-Pierre are full, the table orders another round without waiting for a waiter to be free, and the order arrives with the table number.
Taking orders, from the table to the kitchen
Each table has its own QR code, printed on a coaster we ship to you. By default, an order waits for someone on your team to accept it before it goes into preparation; the kitchen then follows it on a screen, from New to Preparing to Ready, and a chime announces each new order. Guests without a phone order as they always have, from your team.
Meat origin, in the dish's description
Cassoulet, Toulouse sausage, confit, duck breast: a Toulouse menu leans heavily on meat. In France, the origin of the beef, pork, poultry and sheep meat you buy raw must be brought to the guest's attention. On a digital menu, it goes in the dish's description and is corrected the day your supplier changes. For dessert, the almonds in a fénétra are declared among the 14 allergens, as nuts. The other rules are in what French law actually requires.
Getting started
Send us your menu, as a photo or a PDF: we put it online, allergens included, and your coasters are shipped to you, one per table. You can start with the menu alone, then open ordering at the table when your team is ready. If you are west of the city, see also the QR code menu in Colomiers.
