2. Don't miss out on the benefits of enabling QR table ordering
Going all in (100% online ordering):
Choosing this way of implementation has some big benefits around increasing revenue and operational efficiencies, plus allowing every order to be linked to a customer, gives you a deeper understanding of customers. However, we understand this doesn't suit every style of venue or operator.
Hybrid:
You encourage your customers to order from their tables as the default method of ordering, but also allow them to order from the bar, counter or with your wait staff - whichever they prefer.
Driving your dine-in customers to order online is easy. You can generate QR codes to display on your signage, like the "skip the queue" sign at Darvella Patisserie. For your Dine-in customers, have them order online at the table using our premium acrylic branded QR pucks. Here are some of our favourites 👇
Your customers send you orders from the web through any browser (desktop or mobile), and from our apps on iOS and Android. Below are some benefits of customers ordering through the Bopple web app:
- Go direct to your online store (see below for info on getting your shareable URL)
- Customers can order quickly when placing an order through QR codes
- Guest checkout
- Pay and submit an order using Apple Pay and Google Pay
Create your unique and shareable URL
Every venue listing has its own unique URL that you can share in different ways. Give this link to your customers and followers so they can go directly to your menu and immediately start building their orders.
Where do I get my shareable URL?
You can find your shareable URL in the Profile and Branding section in Bopple Back Office.

By far the easiest way is to put the link to your online store in your venue’s Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook bio. You can then finish all of your posts with a call to action: “order now for pick up, follow the link in our bio!” Small’s Deli is a great example of how to promote your store through Instagram posts. Adding a link to your menu in stories is another easy way to promote your online store.
