Alternative to TabletAPP: QR code ordering without commission or hardware
TabletAPP is a digital ordering solution used in the restaurant industry. Like many tools on the market, it may involve dedicated hardware, a contractual commitment and, depending on the offer, fees proportional to volume. If you are looking for an alternative to TabletAPP that is lighter, more flexible and more predictable budget-wise, this article details the points to compare and QR2App's proposition.
Why look for an alternative to TabletAPP?
The reasons that push a restaurateur to compare often come back:
Costs that rise with volume
When a solution charges partly per use or takes a share of sales, the bill grows with your success. What seemed reasonable at launch becomes a heavy burden once volume is established.
Hardware dependency
Tablets, stands, terminals: hardware has a purchase, maintenance and replacement cost. It also creates a logistical dependency, especially if you multiply service points.
A commitment that limits flexibility
A fixed-term contract is a constraint for seasonal establishments or those who want to test before committing long-term.
The need for simple setup
Many establishments have neither the time nor the inclination to run an installation project. They want an operational solution quickly, with no technical complexity.
QR2App: order and pay by QR code, without overhead
QR2App gets straight to the point: the customer scans, orders and pays from their own smartphone. No app for the customer to install, no imposed POS, no dedicated hardware, and no commission on your sales.
| Criterion | TabletAPP | QR2App |
|---|---|---|
| Commission on sales | According to contract | ❌ Aucune |
| Pricing model | Variable | Fixed subscription from €19.90/month |
| POS system required | Depending on configuration | ❌ Non |
| Dedicated hardware | Often (tablets/terminals) | ❌ Aucun |
| QR code ordering | Yes | ✅ Cœur du produit |
| Mandatory printer | Frequent | ❌ Non (notifications) |
| Commitment | Often | ❌ Sans engagement |
| Setup | Installation project | Fast |
The real issue: predictability and flexibility
Two structural differences set QR2App apart:
Cost
With a fixed subscription, your expenditure does not depend on your success. No commission eating into your margin with every order, no nasty surprises at the end of the month. That is complete budget visibility. Read our guide on the cost of a QR code solution to compare for your situation.
Flexibility
With no commitment and no hardware to acquire, you start, adjust or stop according to your season and your activity. You test without risk and roll out fully if it suits you. For seasonal establishments, this is a decisive advantage.
For an establishment that wants to stay in control of its costs and organisation, these two points often make the difference.
For whom is QR2App the best alternative?
- ✓Independent restaurants focused on preserving their margins.
- ✓Bars, beach bars and food courts that want smooth service without a heavy project.
- ✓Seasonal establishments that refuse an annual commitment.
- ✓Any establishment without a cash register system or that does not want to install one.
