Sound familiar? The challenges of order picking in hospitality
Seasonal peaks and extreme rushes
Christmas dinners, weddings, corporate events — hospitality sees enormous peaks. In just a few days you have to assemble thousands of packages flawlessly, while volumes are much lower the rest of the year.
Temporary staff without experience
During busy periods you work with temp workers and temporary employees. They don't know the assortment and make mistakes more easily, precisely when it matters most.
Changing menus and packages
A different menu for every customer, dietary requirements, allergens — the variety in hospitality is enormous. Manual picking with paper lists quickly leads to mix-ups and forgotten items.
Time pressure and limited shelf life
Fresh products must be picked quickly and correctly. You only discover a mistake at the customer's door, when it's too late to fix. By then, the damage to your reputation is already done.
How OrderPiQR solves these problems
QR scanning for every menu item
Every product is scanned with a QR code or barcode. The picker sees on screen exactly which item is needed and gets a confirmation on a correct scan. Wrong products are rejected immediately.
Real-time tracking during events
Track in the live dashboard exactly which orders are ready, which are in progress, and where any delays arise. That way you stay in control, even during the rush of a major event.
Unlimited users for temporary staff
Easily add extra pickers during busy periods. OrderPiQR runs in the browser on any smartphone — no installation, no per-user license, no training required.
Pay-per-pick for seasonal use
In quiet months you pay next to nothing. During the Christmas season or a major event, you scale up without extra fixed costs. You only pay for the picks you actually perform.
Error prevention for complex compositions
Whether it's a Christmas starter, a vegetarian menu, or a special dietary package: OrderPiQR verifies every item and prevents mix-ups between similar dishes and ingredients.
Operational fast, without an IT project
No servers, no installation, no weeks-long implementation. Create an account, import your products via CSV, and start picking right away. You're operational within an hour.
