Great questions.
Simple answers.
From your first QR code to a smoother dinner rush.
Here's what you need to know about MyBigPlate.
QR Ordering System
11 answersDo my customers need to download an app?
No. Customers scan the QR code with their phone's built-in camera. The menu opens directly in their browser, including Chrome, Safari, or any browser. No app download, no account creation, no friction.
What devices do I need for the kitchen and cashier?
Any smartphone, tablet, or laptop with a browser. You don't need to buy any special hardware. A ₹3,000 Android tablet works perfectly as a dedicated kitchen display screen.
Can I use my own tax rates (GST)?
Yes. You can configure CGST, SGST, and service charge percentages for each outlet. Multiple named tax profiles are supported. All invoices are generated with the correct breakdown automatically.
Does it work for hotels and bar counters, not just dine-in tables?
Yes. The Pro plan supports room ordering for hotels, bar counter QR codes, and poolside setups. Each point gets its own QR and orders are routed to the relevant kitchen station.
What happens if a guest places an order and then wants to change it?
The guest can track their order status live. Staff can accept or modify orders from their dashboard. If an order needs to be cancelled, staff can cancel it with a reason, refunds are handled automatically if the order was prepaid.
Can I manage multiple restaurant branches from one account?
Yes. The Pro plan covers up to 3 outlets under a single restaurant subscription. Each outlet has its own menu, QR codes, and staff, but you manage everything from one login.
Is my data and my customers' data safe?
Yes. Staff access is secured with JWT-based authentication and role-based permissions. Customer phone numbers are stored encrypted. Payment webhooks are verified with HMAC signatures to prevent fraud. Your data is never shared with third parties.
How does billing and subscription work?
Paid plans are 30-day rolling subscriptions. You renew manually whenever you want to continue. Payments are processed securely via Razorpay. Renewing early simply adds 30 days to your current paid-through date.
What is the 30-day free trial?
When you sign up, you get 30 days of full Pro features, kitchen display, staff accounts, reports, everything, completely free. No credit card is required to start the trial. You can subscribe at any point during or after the trial.
Can I use it for takeaway and delivery orders, not just dine-in?
Yes. Counter QR codes can be used at the pickup counter for takeaway orders. Delivery platform integration (Swiggy / Zomato webhook) is available on the Pro plan for restaurants receiving third-party delivery orders.
What if I need help setting up?
The dashboard is designed to be self-service, most restaurant owners complete setup in under 10 minutes. If you need help, our support team is available 9AM to 6PM IST via WhatsApp and email.
