Every table gets its own QR, so the beer garden and the upstairs room order as easily as the tables next to the bar — without stationing someone in each area.
Drinks rounds, food orders and bar snacks run through the same menu and the same kitchen and bar queues, rather than a food menu bolted onto a drinks list.
Guests reorder in two taps without leaving the table, which is where most pub upsell actually lives — the round that never got ordered because nobody wanted to queue.
Guest profiles and loyalty tiers keep regulars recognised across staff changes, and let you bring back the ones who have quietly stopped coming.
Pubs and gastropubs have a different ordering economics to restaurants. Most covers are not a single ordered meal but a sequence of rounds, and every one of those rounds is optional — a guest who does not fancy queueing simply does not have another drink. That makes the distance between the guest and the point of ordering the single biggest lever on spend per head, particularly in venues with a beer garden, an upstairs room, or a wide bar frontage. WowMenu turns each table into its own ordering point, which removes the queue as a reason not to order again. Food and drink run through one menu with orders routing to the kitchen and the bar separately, so a gastropub kitchen and a busy bar are not fighting over one ticket stream. For UK pubs specifically, allergen information updates instantly rather than waiting on a reprint, menus can be changed for a match day or a quiz night in seconds, and guest profiles keep regulars recognised even as bar staff turn over. Pubs running several sites can push a menu or a promotion to every venue at once while keeping local pricing and local specials.
That is the main reason pubs use it. Every table gets its own QR code, so outdoor and upper-floor tables order as easily as the ones by the bar, with the table number attached to the order.
Yes. One menu covers both, with orders routing to the kitchen and the bar separately so neither queue blocks the other.
Yes. Table ordering runs alongside normal bar service rather than replacing it.
