Scan, order, and pay: the no-app way to take orders

The smoothest ordering experience for your guests is the one that asks the least of them: scan a code, see the menu, order, and pay — all from the phone already in their hand.

## No app, no account, no friction
Every download you ask for loses guests. A DashDine code opens a mobile website instantly — no install, no sign-up. Guests browse, customize, and send the order straight into your kitchen.

## One code for the table, the counter, or the car
- Dine-in: a code on each table starts an order tied to that table
- Takeaway: a code at the counter or on a flyer
- Carside: the guest adds their car colour, model, and plate so your runner knows exactly where to go

## Pay now or pay at handoff
Let guests pay online in seconds, or track pay-at-handoff so your team always knows what is settled. Either way the order is captured cleanly and the kitchen starts right away.

## Why it works
1. Faster table turnover — guests do not wait to flag down staff
2. Larger orders — the full menu with photos is always in front of them
3. Fewer errors — every choice is recorded exactly as the guest made it
