Table ordering, not just online
A QR code on every table shortens the order cycle — table to kitchen in seconds.
A Taker alternative — when you want more than an ordering channel
Qoodz and Taker both help you accept orders under your restaurant's brand — the difference is platform depth: from a QR scan at the table to a loyalty program.
Where the two platforms overlap
Both give you a branded ordering channel: your menu, your logo, your prices — orders without an aggregator's cut. If that is all you need, both products can do the job and the honest answer is to compare pricing and demos side by side.
Where the difference shows up
The gap appears after the first order: what happens at the table, and what happens with the customer afterwards. Qoodz covers the dine-in journey — QR ordering at the table, pay-at-table through approved gateways — plus a gamified loyalty program that brings the customer back.
In plain terms: an ordering channel wins you the order; the in-store experience and loyalty win you the next ten.
When each one makes sense
If you run a delivery-only operation with no dine-in and no loyalty ambition, a simpler ordering tool may be enough. If you run tables, want repeat customers, and prefer one system over a stack of tools — that is the setup Qoodz was built for.
Key differences
Pay at table
Guests pay from their phone through approved payment gateways — no waiting for the bill.
Bilingual digital menu
Instant price and availability updates — Arabic and English for every item.
Loyalty & CRM
Points, offers, and a unified customer profile that brings guests back.
Operational reports
Sales, items, and peak hours — reports that drive your daily decisions.
Built for the Gulf
Mada and Apple Pay support with an Arabic-first foundation — not an afterthought translation.

How to decide
1

3
Start with a pilot branch, measure the impact of orders and loyalty, then expand.
FAQ
- Is Qoodz a POS like Taker?
- No — Qoodz is a growth and ordering platform, not a cashier system. It integrates with your POS (including a ready Foodics integration) instead of replacing it.
- I only need online ordering — is Qoodz too much?
- Maybe. If you will never use table ordering, pay-at-table, or loyalty, a narrower tool could be cheaper. Book a demo and we will tell you honestly.
- Can I migrate my existing customers?
- Yes — migrate gradually: put QR codes on tables and packaging, share your link on socials, and let loyalty rewards pull customers to the direct channel.
- Does Qoodz support mada and Apple Pay?
- Yes — through approved payment providers, alongside an Arabic-first interface built for the Gulf market.
