Does Garson.Pro support online orders?
Yes. Garson.Pro supports online ordering, allowing guests to browse the menu and place orders digitally via QR code.
This helps reduce staff workload and speeds up service, especially during peak hours.
What is the Call Service button?
The Call Service button allows guests to request staff assistance directly from their device after scanning the QR code.
It can be used to:
- Call a waiter
- Request the bill
- Ask for assistance
This improves response time and reduces unnecessary staff movement.
Can I customize the mobile page layout?
Partially.
Full mobile page layout customization is not supported at the moment to ensure a clean, fast, and consistent guest experience across all venues.
However, you can customize:
- Menu structure and categories
- Item names, descriptions, prices, and images
- Menu header image
These options allow your menu to reflect your brand and venue style, while the overall layout remains standardized.
Design and branding enhancements may be added in future versions.
Can I manage multiple locations?
Yes. You can manage multiple locations, each with its own menus, QR codes, and settings — all from a single business account.
Can the order process be customized per location or QR code?
Yes.
Garson.Pro allows you to configure the order and interaction flow per location and per QR code.
Examples:
-
A QR code at the entrance can be configured for:
-
Online orders
-
Takeaway or delivery flows
-
QR codes at tables inside the venue can be configured for:
-
Calling service (waiter or bill request)
- On-site orders
- Cash payments
- Online payments
- Or a combination of payment methods
This allows you to adapt the guest experience based on where the QR code is placed — entrance, table, bar, hotel room, or outdoor area.
All configurations are managed centrally from the business portal.
Does Garson.Pro support multiple languages?
Yes. You can manage menu content in multiple languages, making it suitable for international guests and tourist locations.

They are suitable for table placement, bars, hotel rooms, and reception areas.
