How It Works

Three steps. Zero friction.

No app download. No cashier interruption. Orders go straight from the table to the kitchen, in real time.

Step One

Tap

Customer taps their phone to your NFC table card, menu stand, or counter tag. No app. No QR code hunting. One tap opens your menu.

Step Two

Order

Your full menu loads instantly in their browser. Modifiers, upsells, special notes, all on their screen. They order at their own pace.

Step Three

Kitchen Gets It

The order appears live on your kitchen display the instant it's placed. No yelling across the bar. No lost slips. No excuses.

Everything Included

Built for how busy venues actually run.

Every feature your staff wishes existed, out of the box, no extra charge.

+0%

Smart Upsell Prompts

"Add fries for $2?" shown right at the cart. Digital ordering lifts the average check ~9%, and independent studies report up to 20%. No extra staff, no pressure.

Time-Based Menus

Happy hour pricing auto-switches at 5pm. Brunch menu disappears at 2pm. Late-night menu activates at 10pm. Set it once, it runs itself forever.

Modifier Support

No onions, extra sauce, oat milk, customers customize right from their phone. Zero back-and-forth with staff.

Split Table Ordering

Everyone orders independently from one table. Bills merge at checkout, or split by person. Your choice.

Real-Time Order Status

"Your order is being prepared." Customer's phone shows live updates. They stay calm. Your staff stays focused.

Staff Alert Button

"Need assistance", one tap sends a ping to your staff dashboard. No waving. No shouting across the room.

Multi-Language Support

Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, French, and more. Huge in NYC, and a feature no competitor includes at this price point.

Loyalty & Repeat Orders

"Last time you got the jerk chicken, want it again?" Returning customers order faster, spend more, and come back sooner. Your restaurant remembers what they love.

How the tap actually works.

The questions every owner asks before saying yes, answered straight.

Tap or scan, their choice

Modern iPhones (XS and newer) and most Androids open your menu with one tap. Every card also has a printed QR code as an instant fallback, so every customer gets in, no exceptions.

Works on almost any phone

Your menu opens right in the phone's browser. No app download, no App Store, no install, nothing for your customer to figure out.

Put them anywhere

Durable cards for tables, counters, menu stands, the bar rail, or the side of a truck. No power, no wiring, no new hardware.

You get paid directly

Customers pay from their phone via Stripe (2.9% + $0.30 at cost, we take no cut), or pay at your counter. Tips and the full ticket go straight to you.

Simple Pricing

Less than one missed order pays for the month.

Three flat monthly plans. No hardware, no contract, no per-order commission. Most full-service POS setups run $300–$2,000+/mo all-in. Tap2Order starts at $297, dashboard included.

Paying 15–30% to delivery marketplaces costs far more than a flat fee, e.g. $10K/mo in orders at 25% is $2,500/mo, vs $297 flat with Tap2Order. Basic math, your volume varies.

From the founder

Built in NYC, for NYC.

I'm Dan, a NYC operator who got tired of watching independent bars, cafés, and restaurants lose orders, tips, and data to systems built for chains. Tap2Order is what I wanted for my own spots: no app, no hardware, no contract. Just one tap. If you sign up this summer, I personally make sure you're live within the week.
