Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before putting TapBell QR on your tables.

What is TapBell QR?+

TapBell QR is a web app for restaurants. Guests scan the QR code on their table to call a waiter, request the bill or open the menu. Staff see requests live on a dashboard, with sound and history.

Do guests need to install an app?+

No. The guest experience runs in the browser. There is nothing to download, no account and no hardware beyond the QR and a phone.

Do I need dedicated hardware for the dynamic QR?+

No. The dynamic display is a web page at /display. You can use any tablet or old phone with a browser. It rotates the QR token every 30 seconds, and the visit code is always available as a fallback.

How does the visit code work?+

When staff open a table, TapBell generates a 6-digit visit code. The waiter tells it to the guest, or the guest enters it on the table page. Only an active visit can create requests, so a previous guest cannot keep calling the waiter.

Can I add my menu, website, social links and Google reviews?+

Yes. The menu can be a PDF or a URL. Website, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X, YouTube, WhatsApp and your Google review link are optional. Google reviews are shown as a link only; no Google API is required.

Is the dynamic QR secure?+

Dynamic QR tokens expire in 90 seconds and are tied to an open visit. Visit codes expire with the visit, which closes automatically after four hours or when staff close the table. Displays can be unlinked at any time.

Does TapBell QR work in English and Spanish?+

Yes. The guest interface and marketing site are available in English and Spanish. Each restaurant can choose its default language.

How much does it cost?+

Is my restaurant data private?+
