Restaurant Ordering-and-Payment Platforms

OrderUp Lets Users Scan, Order, and Pay via a Smartphone

— February 8, 2021 — Business
OrderUp, the technology startup, helps provide restaurants with a cost-effective dine-in digital ordering system. It requires no app downloads, no hardware, and most importantly, no fees for restaurants while letting guests scan the digital menu, order their dishes, and pay–all on their smartphones.

In addition, the OrderUp platform also enables paperless contact tracing, a one-click bill splitter, dietary filters, item modifiers, and pairing suggestions, providing a customizable and seamless experience for guests. Plus, this contactless dining solution makes it safe and easy for on-premise guests amid the COVID-19.

The platform is ideal for restaurants looking to implement an easy and affordable solution that meets all the COVID-19 safety requirements without needing to invest in costly software or hardware.
