Modern systems for hospitality businesses, plus the trends and practices reshaping the industry - from the Scanby team.
A restaurant system for menu, ordering and payments without guest self-ordering: a multilingual QR menu, staff orders sent from a phone to the kitchen, and a cloud register that issues the receipt at payment. Scanby Menu + Waitor + Pay costs €35.97/mo, the same as the all-in-one. With AADE stepping up register checks (Kathimerini, 4 Nov 2026), here is how to set it up.
QR menu with staff ordering: guests browse the menu in their language, staff take the order on a phone and it hits the kitchen instantly. Scanby Menu + Waitor costs €22.98/mo, the same as Scanby Order, so guest QR ordering comes free. With August 2026 arrivals up 13.4% (Bank of Greece), here is how to set it up and pilot it.
AADE began sweeping checks in October 2026 on card terminals linked to the till, with fines up to €20,000. An all-in-one ordering and payment system keeps order, card payment and myDATA receipt in one record. How Scanby Order + Pay (€35.97/mo) works table to receipt, and when separate tools or a classic POS still fit.
Greek tourism and food service have 83,000+ unfilled jobs, 30,000 of them in restaurants (POEET, 14 Oct 2026). Software will not hire anyone, but a staff ordering app cuts the walking. How Scanby Waitor (€18.99/mo) works, which setup fits, and when a paper pad is still enough.
Counter-service café, bakery or kiosk? A QR menu with a cash register covers the menu and the myDATA receipt without a full ordering system. What it costs (€30.98/mo), what it leaves out, and a five-minute check after AADE's October 2026 POS inspections.
Staff take the order, split the bill, take the card and issue the myDATA receipt on one device. Why that matters after AADE's September 2026 inspections, what Scanby Waitor + Pay costs (€31.98/mo) and what it does not include.
When a Greek venue must issue a Τιμολόγιο instead of a retail receipt, what to collect, how ΑΦΜ lookup works, and how Scanby Pay handles the four document kinds—plus why 1 October 2026 matters.
Short answer: Waitor for staff-only ordering without guest QR; Order for menu + staff + guest QR. Same price as Menu + Waitor, so do not pay twice.
