You can accept UPI payments at your restaurant tables without any POS machine by displaying a UPI QR from your bank or PSP. Customers pay via PhonePe, GPay, or Paytm straight from their phone. vsite handles the menu side of that experience — a Smart QR Menu set up in minutes with no hardware cost.
Why Skip the POS Machine?
- POS machines cost ₹5,000–₹20,000 upfront plus monthly fees
- They need power outlets at each table
- They break down and need service calls
- UPI is already on every customer's phone — no extra device needed
- QR-based ordering removes order errors (customer selects exactly what they want)
How UPI Table Ordering Works with vsite
- Each table gets a unique QR code from vsite (table 1, table 2, etc.)
- Customer scans → menu opens with their table number pre-set
- Customer browses menu, adds items to cart
- Customer places order — it appears on your kitchen screen instantly
- Customer pays via UPI at the end of the meal (or before, on prepay)
- You get paid directly to your UPI/bank account — no middleman commission
What You Need to Get Started
- vsite Smart QR Menu (digital menu; pair with your own UPI QR for payment)
- A printed or standee QR code for each table
- A smartphone or tablet to monitor incoming orders
- A UPI ID linked to your restaurant bank account
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I accept UPI payments at my restaurant without a POS?
Yes, but not through vsite. A standard UPI QR from your bank or PSP lets customers pay from their phone with no POS machine or card reader. vsite provides the Smart QR Menu they browse before they order.
How does table ordering work with QR code?
Each table has a unique QR code. When a customer scans it, the menu opens on their phone with their table number pre-filled. They select items, place the order, and pay via UPI. The order fires directly to your kitchen dashboard.
