You can accept UPI payments at your restaurant tables without any POS machine. Customers scan a QR code, browse your menu, order, and pay via PhonePe, GPay, or Paytm — all from their phone. vsite's Pay & Eat plan sets this up in minutes with no hardware cost.

Why Skip the POS Machine?

How UPI Table Ordering Works with vsite

  1. Each table gets a unique QR code from vsite (table 1, table 2, etc.)
  2. Customer scans → menu opens with their table number pre-set
  3. Customer browses menu, adds items to cart
  4. Customer places order — it appears on your kitchen screen instantly
  5. Customer pays via UPI at the end of the meal (or before, on prepay)
  6. You get paid directly to your UPI/bank account — no middleman commission

What You Need to Get Started

No Commission on Orders

Unlike Zomato, Swiggy, or DotPe, vsite charges zero commission on orders. You pay the monthly subscription and keep 100% of every order. For a restaurant doing ₹1 lakh/month in orders, that saves ₹5,000–₹15,000/month compared to commission-based platforms.

Managing Orders Without a POS

Orders appear on your vsite kitchen dashboard in real time. You can use any smartphone or tablet behind the counter. When an order comes in, you see the table number, items, and special requests. No expensive hardware — your existing phone works.

vsite Pay & Eat: QR table ordering + UPI payments + kitchen dashboard. No POS machine. No commission. Starting from ₹599/month.
