QR ordering for bowling alleys & entertainment venues

Food & drinks,
right to your lane.

Guests scan a QR code at their lane or table, order and pay on their own phone, and the ticket prints straight to your kitchen and drink station. No waitstaff relay, no counter line, and nothing to download. It works with the POS and card processor you already have.

How it works

Three steps. Zero hardware to babysit.

From the guest's first scan to the ticket on your line — LaneTab runs the whole path in the cloud.

01

Scan the code

A QR code lives at every lane or table. Guests scan and your live menu opens on their phone — no app, no account.

02

Order & pay

They build the order and check out with Stripe, right there. You're paid before the food is fired — no tab to chase.

03

We make it & bring it

The chit prints straight to your kitchen and drink station with the lane number on it. Your team makes it and runs it. Done.

Lane Assistant

They never have to flag anyone down.

From the same screen, a guest can tap Assistance to ask for a respot, a stuck ball, another round, or the check. It lands on your staff console the instant they send it — with two-way messaging, so your team can reply and mark it handled without leaving the counter.

Don't need ordering yet? Lane Assistant runs standalone from $49/mo, any size — learn more.

Prefer the app?

Get the LaneTab app for one-tap ordering, live order status on your phone and Apple Watch, and two-way messaging with the venue. Scan to install — free on iOS and Android.

Works with your setup

Keep your POS. Keep your processor.

LaneTab works with the POS and card processor you already have, so there is nothing to switch. You choose who takes the money, order by order.

Guests pay on their phone

The money goes to your own account before the food is made. No tabs to chase.

Your POS takes the payment

Staff ring the order up on your POS as usual, on the processor it already uses. With Clover, the order is already there.

Your staff take it at the counter

On the card terminal you already have: your processor, your rates. LaneTab never touches the card.

For venues

Turn every lane into a table.

The operator-side of LaneTab is built like infrastructure: nothing on-site to fail, money in your account instantly, and one console to run the floor.

Headless cloud printing

Tickets fire from the cloud straight to your existing kitchen and drink-station printers. No on-site PC, no POS terminal, no driver to install — just paper coming out where it should.

● Works with your current thermal printers

Get paid instantly

Guests pay on their own phone through Stripe before the order is fired. The money is yours immediately — no open tabs, no walkouts, no end-of-night reconciliation.

● Powered by Stripe · payouts to your bank

Live staff console

One screen shows every lane, every order, and every printer's status in real time. Two-way messaging lets you ping a guest back the second their kitchen runs out of wings.

● Real-time queue + two-way guest messaging

Your menu, your rules

A self-serve CMS for items, prices, photos, and availability — per venue, per lane if you want. 86 a dish in one tap and it disappears from every phone instantly.

Track depletion, par levels, and reorders (add-on), and spot a failing lane before it costs you a night with per-lane maintenance analytics built into Insights.

Questions, answered

Built to drop into the floor you already run.

Do I have to switch my POS?

No. LaneTab works next to the POS you already run: guests order from their phone, tickets print in your kitchen and bar, and staff ring them up as usual. Clover is connected today, so orders land right in your Clover; other systems run alongside, with a direct connection available on request. If you don't have a POS, LaneTab is a full one too. See the full POS →

Do I have to change card processors?

No. Choose how each order is paid: guests pay on their phone into your own account, your POS takes the payment, or your staff take it at the counter on your existing terminal, so your processor, your rates and your statement stay the same. See how it fits your setup →

Do guests have to download an app?

Never. They scan a QR code and order right in their phone's browser — no app, no account. (An optional native app exists for guests who want it.)

How and when do we get paid?

However you take payment today. If guests pay on their phone, funds land in your own account on every order, before the kitchen fires it, so there are no open tabs to chase and no walkouts. If your POS or your staff take the payment, it settles through your own processor exactly as it does now.

What hardware do we have to install?

Just your thermal printer. No on-site PC, no POS terminal, no tablet to babysit — the printer reaches our cloud over your internet connection.

Which printers work?

Star Micronics (CloudPRNT) and Epson (Server Direct Print / ePOS) thermal printers, natively over the cloud. Not sure about yours? Use the compatibility check above.

Is our data and our guests' payments secure?

Every venue is fully isolated (multi-tenant with row-level security), card data is handled by the payment processor, and LaneTab never stores card numbers.
