The technology also helps to support customers during a time of uncertainty, as they will need to navigate new ways of dining in a restaurant or having their meals delivered. The free, first-of-its-kind solution starts with having a customer download the BellyMelly app for iOS or Android and use the app to scan the BellyMelly QR code displayed on their table. This action calls up a restaurant's menu for ordering, which helps to keep tables clear and reduce the number of surfaces that need to be touched.
