QR ordering & subscription billing for restaurants.

// The Problem
Why SmartTap
Restaurant owners in Algeria mostly take orders by hand or over the phone — slow, error-prone, and hard to manage during rush hours. There was no simple, affordable way for a local restaurant to let customers order directly from their table.
// The Solution
How SmartTap Solves It
SmartTap gives every restaurant a subscription-based ordering system. The owner sets up their menu once, generates a unique QR code for each table, and customers order straight from their phone — no app download required.
// How It Works
From Subscription to Order
01
Owner Subscribes
The restaurant owner picks a plan — monthly, yearly, or lifetime — with pricing that scales by the number of tables.
02
QR Codes Generated
SmartTap generates a unique QR code for every table, ready to print and stick down.
03
Customer Scans & Orders
Customers scan the code, browse the digital menu, and place their order directly from their phone.
04
Order Reaches the Kitchen
The order appears instantly on the restaurant's dashboard, organized by table.
// Pricing Model
Subscriptions That Scale With the Restaurant
Owners choose how they pay — monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime plan — and the price adjusts based on how many tables they need to cover.
01
Monthly
Flexible, cancel anytime. Ideal for testing SmartTap in one location.
02
Yearly
Better value for restaurants ready to commit, with the same table-based pricing.
03
Lifetime
One payment, permanent access — for owners who know SmartTap is staying.
Final pricing is quoted per restaurant based on table count.
