Patio weather means peak busy times and frustration? Here's how Beyond Ordering solves it.

The sun breaks through, patios fill up, and Belgium does what it loves most on a spring day: enjoying a drink in hand. But with patio weather, classic frustrations also resurface, as research shows. And these frustrations are precisely what we at Beyond Ordering try to solve every day.

Below, you'll discover the biggest pain points and how our ordering and payment solution offers a direct answer to them.

Smart technology for a seamless patio flow

Not being able to pay by card is unfortunately still a common complaint during busy times. With Beyond Ordering, this is a non-issue. Every order can be paid directly via mobile during the online ordering process or with a card, smartphone, or smartwatch at the server. No hassle, just tap and go.

Having to wait a long time for the bill is also a major source of irritation. Nothing is as annoying as that last fifteen minutes on a patio, waiting for a server who is nowhere to be found due to the crowds. With our solution, you order and pay in one go, directly via your own smartphone. This leads to shorter waiting times and less stress behind the bar.

Having to go to the bar to pay is also a thing of the past. In our world, no one needs to walk to the bar for a bill anymore. Everything happens mobile, directly at the table or even from a lounge chair at the summer bar. The order comes to the customer, not the other way around.

What about tips? That too can now be handled completely digitally. And yes, with the option to enter the amount yourself, because the majority of consumers find that very convenient. The money goes directly to the right person, without complicated detours.

Our guests order online by scanning the QR codes on the tables. Orders are automatically split between our bar and kitchen, allowing us to serve our guests much faster and more efficiently.
