Restaurant QR Menu and Table Reservations in Pakistan: A Simple Setup Guide
Written by Content Manager, Aswaaqo Team · · Updated · 2 min read
In short
Pakistani restaurants and cafes can put their menu online and let guests reserve a table by scanning a QR code. On Aswaaqo you scan your printed menu to add dishes, create your tables, print each table's QR code, and manage reservations, table orders and bills from one app — alongside delivery and pickup orders.
Guests in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad now expect to see a restaurant's menu and prices before they come — and many prefer to book a table instead of waiting at the door. Here is how to set this up without expensive restaurant software.
Step 1: Put your menu online in minutes
Typing a 60-item menu by hand takes hours. With Scan Menu:
- In My Business → Products, create pages such as Starters, BBQ, Karahi, Drinks.
- Tap Scan Menu and take a photo of your printed menu.
- Check the dishes and prices it finds and save them as drafts.
- Add photos to your top 10 dishes and publish.
Step 2: Add your tables and print QR codes
Create your tables (Table 1, Table 2, Family Hall…) in the POS Tables section. Each table gets its own QR code — print it and place it on the table or at the entrance.
When a guest scans the QR code with their phone, they can reserve that table on aswaaqo.com. You see reservations in one list, so no double-booking.
Step 3: Take table orders and make bills
- Record table orders as guests order.
- Generate the bill when they finish and print it on your receipt printer.
- See every bill later in the bills history.

Step 4: Add delivery and pickup
The same menu powers delivery and pickup orders from the Aswaaqo app and website, so one price change updates everywhere. Set up riders with this home delivery guide.
