Free QR code ordering and POS for restaurants in Thailand

ThaiQROrder (Thai QR Order) is QR code table ordering and a restaurant POS for restaurants, cafés and street food stalls in Thailand. Guests scan the QR on their table and order from their own phone without installing an app; the shop takes the orders, prints kitchen tickets, takes payment and settles bills in the ThaiQROrder app on Android, iPhone or iPad. Every feature is free until December 31, 2026 and there is no commission.

2.0 adds online payment into the shop's own Stripe account (PromptPay and cards), guests paying or splitting the bill from the table QR, pay-first ordering, delivery fees by distance on the shop website, a self-order kiosk on a tablet, staff accounts with permissions, accounting and ingredient stock in the owner portal, and kitchen tickets that never go missing. The web and owner portal have been live since 7–8 October 2026. The 2.0 app for iPhone, iPad and Android is out now on the App Store and Google Play. Everything is optional, shops that keep working as before have nothing to set up, and switching on online payment or the kiosk needs every phone of the shop on app 2.0.

Every feature, 2.0 included, is free for every shop until December 31, 2026. From 2027, a shop with up to 60 orders a month pays nothing; busier shops pay a flat ฿99–999 a month depending on their order count (estimated pricing, see the table). No setup fee, no contract and no percentage of your sales.

ThaiQROrder takes no commission and no GP (0%). With the PromptPay QR for the exact bill amount, the money goes straight to the shop's account and ThaiQROrder charges no fee at all. With online payment switched on, Stripe charges its own fees: PromptPay 1.65%, Thai cards 3.65% + ฿10, international cards 4.75% + ฿10; ThaiQROrder gets no share of them.

The shop opens its own Stripe account for Thailand (individuals can sign up too, on Stripe's terms) and enters its connection key in the owner portal or app 2.0. Guests pay by PromptPay or card on Stripe's payment page; the money lands in the shop's Stripe balance and is paid out to the shop's bank account. ThaiQROrder never holds the shop's money, and payments are confirmed automatically. The shop switches each use on separately: paying the bill at the table, splitting it, pay-first ordering, and website pickup or delivery.

Yes. The PromptPay QR with the exact bill amount stays free and needs no Stripe account: enter your PromptPay number once, guests pay and tap "I have paid", and the shop is notified at once. That way nothing verifies the money automatically — check your banking app before settling. To have payments confirmed for you, switch on online payment through Stripe.

Yes. With online payment switched on, guests open the bill from the table QR and pay the whole bill, equal shares, or just their own dishes. The shop sees what is paid and what is left in the app, and once the bill is fully paid and every dish served, the table clears itself.

No. Guests scan the QR with their phone camera, the menu opens in the browser, and they order without signing up or giving a phone number. The order page, the bill payment page and the kiosk are in 8 languages.

Eight: Thai, English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Spanish, French and German. The menu is translated automatically by AI and opens in the language of the guest's phone; you can correct any translation in the owner portal. The shop app itself is in Thai and English.

Yes, in app 2.0. The owner invites staff by phone number and picks a role — waiter, kitchen, cashier or manager — or ticks permissions one by one, such as taking orders, removing lines, settling bills and refunds, editing the menu, sales and stock. Staff sign in with their own number and an SMS code and see only what they are allowed to; turning someone off signs their phone out at once. Shops that do not use staff accounts can keep signing every device in with the owner's number.

The kiosk is a tablet at the counter where guests choose and order by themselves. Open the kiosk link from the owner portal or app 2.0 full screen in the tablet's browser. Guests pay by the PromptPay QR on the screen, by card on their own phone, or at the counter if the shop allows it, and get an order number to collect their food; the order reaches the shop app like a pickup order. A shop without Stripe can run the kiosk with pay-at-the-counter only.

Yes. The app runs on Android, iPhone and iPad (iOS 15 or later), on several devices at once: every device sees the same orders and rings for each one, and each can be set as a station such as kitchen or bar. Every device can sign in with the owner's number, or with app 2.0 staff sign in with their own.

ESC/POS thermal printers with 58 or 80 mm paper. iPhone and iPad work with Wi-Fi/LAN printers only; Bluetooth printers work with Android only. The team has tested the Xprinter XP-T80Q (about ฿1,000). USB-only printers cannot connect. Models other shops have reported are listed at thaiqrorder.com/tools/compatible-printers.

Tickets print automatically while the app is open on the device connected to the printer, and stations split kitchen and bar tickets. With app 2.0, an order that arrived while the screen was off or another app was open prints as soon as the app is back on screen, a printer phone can keep its screen on, several phones sharing one printer give one ticket, and a ticket that did not print shows a strip to try again.

Yes, in the owner portal on a computer (new in 2.0): expenses with receipt photos, suppliers, profit and loss, profit per dish, a VAT (P.P.30) helper, a personal income tax helper (P.N.D.90/94, actual expenses against the 60% flat deduction) and Excel for your accountant; ingredient stock with average cost, recipes per dish, automatic deduction from sales, waste, stock counts and a monthly goods and raw materials report. It helps you work the numbers out; it does not file taxes for you, so check with your accountant or the Revenue Department.

Yes. Every shop can publish a free website at your-name.thaiqrorder.com (18 designs) from the owner portal or app 2.0 and turn on table reservations, pickup and delivery. Guests either pay by PromptPay transfer and the shop confirms before the kitchen gets the order, or, with online payment on, pay on the website straight away with a delivery fee worked out by distance (up to 8 bands). The shop delivers or books its own rider, and there is no GP.

The shop owns its menu and the content it uploads, and ThaiQROrder does not sell personal data. Guests ordering at the table give no name or phone number. Card details are entered only on Stripe's payment page — ThaiQROrder never sees card numbers — and the shop's Stripe key is stored encrypted. Sales and accounts export to Excel. More at thaiqrorder.com/privacy.

Each checkout is one order, so a table that orders three rounds counts three. Orders keyed in by staff and phone orders count too. Website orders (pickup or delivery) count once paid, and cancelled orders do not count.

It covers a restaurant's core work: table, counter and kiosk orders, tables and bills, kitchen tickets, receipts, a cash drawer, cash, PromptPay and card payments through Stripe, sales, accounting, stock and staff pay. Not available yet: discounts, service charge, VAT and tax invoices on the bill, card terminal (EDC) integration, LINE OA or Grab/LINE MAN integration, and Bluetooth printers on iPhone/iPad.

No. Thai QR Payment is the Thai banks' standard for QR payments. ThaiQROrder is an ordering app and POS for restaurants that shows the shop's PromptPay QR so guests pay the shop's own account.

Download the ThaiQROrder app, sign up with your phone number, add your menu and put the QR codes on your tables. There are 89 video tutorials (in Thai), each about a minute, at thaiqrorder.com/tutorials, and you can contact the team from inside the app; replies come within one business day.
