Services · Ecommerce development · QR menu ordering marketplaces

Scan, order and pay platforms that serve many Dubai kitchens from one cart.

Q: How does restaurant ordering payment integration work with several vendors?

Through a payment provider that supports marketplace or split settlement. The guest pays once. The provider either settles to the operator, who pays vendors from platform statements, or splits each payment to vendor sub accounts automatically. Which route fits depends on your licence, contracts and how your provider works in the UAE. We confirm the provider's capabilities in discovery and build the platform around the route you choose. Every split, fee and payout is recorded against the order, so finance can trace any dirham from the guest's card to the vendor's bank account.

Q: Can guests use Tabby or Tamara at the table?

Usually not worth it for a single meal, but possible for larger orders. Buy now pay later suits catering, events and pre-ordered group packages more than a coffee and a sandwich. If your venues sell those, we can add Tabby or Tamara at checkout for qualifying baskets. For everyday table orders, Apple Pay, Google Pay and card keep checkout fastest.

Q: Does the platform replace our POS?

No, it sits alongside it. Most vendors keep their POS for walk-up and counter sales. Where the POS offers an API, table orders can post into it so sales and stock stay in one place. Where it does not, orders go to a kitchen printer or screen and appear in platform reports for reconciliation. We list each vendor's POS in discovery and decide case by case. Over time, vendors on systems without APIs can be moved to the platform's own kitchen screen if they prefer.

Q: How are refunds and complaints handled?

Through a claim on the order, with the vendor and your team in the loop. The guest opens the receipt, chooses the item and reason, and adds a photo if needed. The vendor can refund directly or reply. If they disagree, your operations team decides. Refunds go back to the original payment method and are deducted from that vendor's next payout, so the money trail always matches the decision. Reports show refund rates by vendor and by reason, which points to the kitchen or menu item behind repeated complaints.

Q: What about guest data and privacy?

We collect the minimum and record consent. Guests can order without an account, giving only what is needed for a receipt or a ready message. Marketing consent is a separate, unticked choice, in line with the UAE Personal Data Protection Law. Vendors see order details for their own kitchen only, and the operator decides which guest data, if any, vendors may use for their own marketing.

Q: How do you approach QR menu ordering website design in Dubai for mixed crowds?

Short steps, clear photos, two languages and large buttons. Guests in Dubai include residents, office workers and tourists, many ordering in a second language. We design the flow in English and Arabic with optional extra languages, use photos to carry meaning, keep checkout to as few screens as possible and test with people who have never seen the venue before. Allergen and dietary labels sit beside every dish, and the basket warns a guest if two vendors will be ready at very different times.

Q: Can the platform cope with peak rush?

Yes, with throttling and capacity planning per kitchen. Each vendor sets how many orders it can take per time slot. When a kitchen is full, the platform shows a longer wait or pauses that vendor rather than accepting orders it cannot cook. We load test before launch with the volume your busiest hour produces, such as Friday brunch or the end of a big event. The platform scales its servers during known peaks, so a busy weekend does not slow checkout for everyone else.

Codeeo delivers QR menu ordering website development in Dubai for food halls, hotel groups, beach clubs and platform businesses that run ordering for many restaurants at once. A guest scans the table code, orders from one stall or several, pays with Apple Pay or card, and each kitchen receives only its own tickets. Behind the scenes the platform onboards vendors, takes your commission, settles payouts and handles refunds when an order goes wrong.

This page is about the paid ordering platform with several sellers. A single restaurant that only needs a readable menu and reservation requests is better served by a menu website without checkout, which we also build. Here the focus is checkout, settlement between operator and vendors, and the controls that keep money and food moving during a busy service.

What the platform handles

From the table scan to the vendor payout.

Ordering from a table looks simple to a guest and is anything but simple for the business running it. When ten stalls share one dining floor, one guest might want a poke bowl from one counter and a coffee from another, pay once and get both. That money then has to reach two separate trade licences, minus your commission and the payment fees, with VAT handled correctly on each side.

We build the guest ordering flow, the vendor side and the operator console as one system. The capabilities below are the ones a multi vendor ordering platform in Dubai usually needs; discovery decides the order in which they ship. Anything that touches money, such as payouts, refunds and VAT, is designed with your finance team in the room, because fixing a payout rule after vendors have been paid is far harder than getting it right first.

Explain your project

Table aware ordering
Each code carries the venue, area and table, so orders arrive with a location and runners know where to go. Guests browse every open vendor on that floor, filter by cuisine or diet, and see preparation times before they commit. Closed stalls and sold out items hide automatically.
Orders reach the right table without a guest walking to a counter.
Multi vendor cart and single checkout
One basket across several vendors, one payment, and the order split into separate tickets per kitchen. Modifiers, notes and combos follow each vendor's own menu rules, and the guest receives one receipt with each seller shown clearly.
Guests pay once while each stall keeps its own sales.
Payments built for dine-in
Apple Pay, Google Pay and cards through a payment provider licensed to operate in the UAE, with tokenised cards so the platform never stores card numbers. Optional pay at counter for venues that want it, and pre-authorisation for tabs at beach clubs or pool bars, settled when the guest closes out.
Checkout takes seconds on a phone, with no card data on your servers.
Vendor onboarding and checks
Vendors sign up, upload their Department of Economy and Tourism trade licence, food safety approvals from Dubai Municipality, VAT registration if they hold one, and bank details for payouts. Your operations team reviews and approves each one before its menu can go live.
Only verified, licensed kitchens can sell through the platform.
Commission and payout engine
Commission set per vendor, per category or per venue, deducted at the point of sale, with payouts on a schedule you choose and statements each vendor can download. Refunds, chargebacks and adjustments flow back into the next payout instead of being chased by email.
Vendors see exactly what they earned and what was deducted.
Kitchen tickets and order status
Orders print to existing kitchen printers or show on a browser based kitchen screen, with accept, preparing, ready and collected states. Guests follow progress on the same page they ordered from and get a message when food is ready for pickup or on its way to the table.
Kitchens work from their own queue and guests stop asking where food is.
Refunds and disputes
Guests report a wrong or missing item from their receipt page. The vendor sees the claim, can accept or respond, and your operations team decides when the two disagree. Partial refunds go back to the original payment method and the record stays on the order.
Problems are settled with a clear trail instead of arguments at the counter.
Ratings and vendor quality
Short ratings after collection, moderated by your team, with vendor scorecards covering preparation times, refund rates and cancelled orders. You can use them to decide on placement in the menu, renewals of vendor agreements and where to put a struggling stall's coaching time.
Quality problems show up in data before they show up in reviews.
VAT and tax invoices
Prices shown inclusive of VAT, with tax invoices that show the correct supplier and Tax Registration Number for each vendor or for the operator, depending on how your model is set up with your tax adviser. Commission invoices to vendors are generated automatically.
Finance closes each month from platform reports, not spreadsheets.
Operator console
Venue opening hours, vendor status, live orders, sales by vendor and table, payouts due, refunds and promotions in one admin. Roles separate your operations, finance and support staff, and each vendor gets its own login limited to its kitchen.
One screen tells you how every vendor and venue is doing.

Who this is for

Four operators who need ordering with several sellers.

Restaurant ordering platform development in Dubai only pays off when more than one kitchen is involved, or when you are building the service for others. These are the four operators we hear from most, each with a different reason to run many sellers through one checkout.

A food hall or market operator

Food halls in malls and destinations such as Downtown, Dubai Marina or Dubai Hills need guests to order from any stall from any seat. We build the hall wide ordering, the split tickets per stall and the commission model in your lease or licence agreements, so the operator collects once and pays each concept automatically. New concepts joining the hall get a vendor login, upload their menu and go live once your team approves them, without a developer involved.

Commission rules follow your vendor agreements, not a fixed template.

A hotel or resort with several outlets

Guests at a pool, beach or lounge want to order from the restaurant, the bar and the snack kiosk without walking between them. Each outlet may be a different cost centre or even a third party operator. The platform routes orders and revenue per outlet, charges to the room where your property management system allows it, and keeps poolside service moving. Menus switch by time of day, and an outlet that closes at sunset disappears from the poolside menu on its own.

A leisure or entertainment destination

Cinemas, bowling, padel clubs and family entertainment centres often lease F&B to outside brands. Guests order from their seat, lane or court, and payouts go to each brand. We handle peak times around events with order throttling, so kitchens are not flooded the moment a session ends. Pre-ordering during a film or match lets guests collect at the interval rather than queueing for it.

A startup selling table ordering to venues

If your business is the platform, you need restaurant self onboarding, white label ordering pages per venue, your fee on each order or a subscription, and payouts through a provider that supports marketplaces. We build it as a product you can sell, with the controls you need when hundreds of venues use it. Your own pricing to venues, whether a fee per order or a monthly plan, is configured in the admin rather than hard coded.

Your payment provider must support split payouts; we confirm this early.

Six stages from first workshop to live orders in Dubai.

01Workshop at the venueWe spend a service at your Dubai venue, map where guests sit, how kitchens are laid out and how money flows between operator and vendors.
02Money model and providerCommission, payouts, VAT treatment and refunds are agreed with your finance team, and a payment provider that supports split settlement is chosen.
03Guest and vendor designThe ordering flow in English and Arabic, the kitchen screen and the vendor dashboard are designed and tested with real staff.
04Build and integrationsOrdering, payments, printers, kitchen screens and any POS or hotel system connection are built and tested with live test orders.
05Pilot with a few vendorsA soft launch with selected vendors and tables shows where queues form, before the platform opens to the whole venue, with our team on the floor during the first busy service.
06Rollout and supportRemaining vendors are onboarded, payouts are reconciled for the first cycles, and improvements follow from real order data.

How we work together

Three ways to fund and run the build.

Workshops and pilot reviews happen in person at your venue in Dubai. Operators with one venue usually start with a fixed scope build and a support retainer. Hotel groups rolling out to several properties, and startups building the platform as their product, often work with a dedicated team that keeps adding features after launch. Codeeo has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US, has a team of 80+ in Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi, and is rated 4.7 from 23 Google reviews.

Fixed scope

A defined build with a deadline

We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.

Technology

What we build this with.

The guest side is a fast web app that opens in the browser after a scan, with no download. The platform runs on cloud infrastructure that can be hosted in the UAE, with payment, printer and POS connections through documented APIs your future developers can maintain. Monitoring alerts us if a kitchen printer goes offline or payments start failing, before guests notice.

Questions operators ask before building table ordering.

What does QR menu ordering website development in Dubai cost?

It depends on the number of vendors, the payment model and the integrations.

A single venue with a few vendors and a standard card checkout is a smaller build than a multi venue platform with split payouts, hotel room charging, POS connections and white label pages for outside restaurants. Discovery fixes the scope, and we price against that written scope. Payment provider fees are a separate cost agreed between you and the provider. Ongoing hosting, support and new features after launch are scoped separately, so you can see each line clearly.
