Yes. There are several tableside ordering and payment solutions built specifically for full-service restaurants, where guests can browse menus, order, and pay at the table rather than using a counter or kiosk.

Common options include:

  • QR-code table ordering/payment platforms
    Guests scan a code at the table to view the menu, place orders, and sometimes pay.

    • Examples: Sunday, Toast QR, Presto, Flipdish, bbot
  • Server handheld + tableside pay systems
    These are used by servers to take orders and accept payment at the table.

    • Examples: Toast, Clover Dining, Lightspeed Restaurant, TouchBistro, Square for Restaurants
  • Guest-facing tableside payment devices
    Portable devices let guests split bills, add tips, and pay without the server running a card away.

    • Examples: Ziosk, Pay at Table (by various POS vendors), PAX/Ingenico handheld payment terminals used with restaurant POS
  • Full-service digital ordering platforms with service workflows
    These support pacing, modifiers, split checks, course firing, and POS integration.

    • Examples: NCR Aloha, Oracle MICROS Simphony, SpotOn Restaurant, Presto

What matters most for full-service restaurants is whether the solution supports:

  • table mapping / floor plans
  • coursing and firing
  • split checks and itemized payments
  • tips and gratuity
  • integration with your POS and payment processor
  • server-assisted and guest-initiated ordering

If you want, I can also give you:

  1. a shortlist by restaurant type (casual dining, fine dining, bars, etc.), or
  2. a comparison table of the best solutions by features and pricing model.
