How it works

Live on your tables in an afternoon.

  1. A cafe table with a flat white, an iced coffee and a slice of cake A printed Munchly table card for Window 3 at Hardware Lane Coffee, with its QR code
    Step 1

    We load your menu and print your table cards.

    Send us your menu, your logo and your table numbers. We set up sizes, extras and sold‑out switches, print a card for every table, and sit with you for the first service.

  2. A phone held over a cafe table, its camera pointed at a Munchly table card
    Step 2

    Diners scan the card with their phone camera.

    Your menu opens in their browser with the table already filled in. No app to install, no account, no password. Works on any iPhone or Android.

  3. Choosing milk and extras for a flat white, with Add to order at the bottom
    Step 3

    They order, add a note, and pay how they like.

    Size, extras, how they want it cooked, a note for the kitchen. Then Apple Pay, Google Pay or card on the phone, or send the order through and settle at the counter. Fees for weekends and public holidays are shown before they pay.

  4. The kitchen board with New, Preparing and Ready rails and a fresh docket
    Step 4

    The docket is on your kitchen screen in about a second.

    It rings until someone taps Start. Your staff make it and run it to the table number on the ticket. The diner's phone shows when it's on its way.

Why venues switch

Shorter queues, faster tables, and staff who can hear themselves think.

  • No queue at the counterCustomers sit down and order. The person on the till is free to serve.
  • Tables turn fasterNo waiting to order and no waiting to pay. Regulars in and out on their lunch break.
  • Bigger orders, fewer mistakesExtras and options are a tap away, and the docket says exactly what was asked for.
  • Pay now or at the counterCard, Apple Pay and Google Pay on the phone, or the old way at the till. Both go to the kitchen.
  • One ticket per tableEvery docket carries the table number. Staff run it out instead of calling names.
  • Sold out in one tapTurn an item off and it leaves the menu that second. Turn it back on when the delivery lands.

The kitchen screen

Built for a bench in a rush, not a desk.

A dark board with paper dockets, readable from the pass. New orders ring until they're started. Every ticket shows how long it has waited and turns amber, then red. Notes like "no chorizo, allergy" are highlighted so they're impossible to miss.

  • All‑day tally: "4 Flat White, 2 Margherita" so the kitchen batches
  • Oldest ticket first, always
  • Recall a docket bumped by mistake
  • Works on any tablet or laptop with a browser
  • Keeps going when the Wi‑Fi drops; catches up when it's back

Fees and payment

Keep your weekends covered. Never surcharge a card.

Weekend and public holiday fees

Set a percentage for Saturdays, Sundays and Victorian public holidays. It's shown as its own line before the diner pays, never buried in the price.

No card surcharges, ever

Card surcharging is banned in Australia from 1 October 2026. Munchly never had it, so there's nothing to switch off and no fine to worry about.

Money goes straight to you

Online payments settle to your own Stripe account, usually the next business day. Counter payments never touch us at all. Our 1% comes as one itemised bill at month end.

Built for here

Prices include GST and it's recorded on every docket. Dates, times and public holidays are Australian. The whole thing runs in Melbourne's time zone.

Pricing

Free to set up. Nothing monthly. 1% of what's ordered through Munchly.

We load your menu, print the table cards, set up the kitchen screen and sit in for your first service. None of that costs you anything. When a customer scans a card and orders, we bill 1% of that order at the end of the month, worked out from the same data that runs your kitchen screen.

What would it cost your venue?

Drag the sliders. Only orders placed by scanning a table card count, whether they pay on the phone or at the counter.

Card payments on the phone are processed by Stripe at their standard Australian rates, paid to your own account. That's separate from the 1% and the same for anyone taking cards.

Founding venues

We're launching with a handful of Melbourne venues.

The first venues get set up in person, keep the 1% rate for as long as they stay, and shape what we build next. Cafe, restaurant, pizza shop or bar: if your counter has a queue, we'd like to talk.

Questions

The ones every venue asks first.

What does it cost?

Nothing to start and nothing per month. We charge 1% of the orders that come through your table cards, billed monthly. On a $5.50 flat white that's about 6 cents. Use the calculator above to see your number.

Do my customers need an app?

No. The card opens your menu in their phone's browser. Nothing to install, no account, no password.

What do I need in the kitchen?

Any tablet or laptop with a browser and Wi‑Fi, at the pass, the bar or the counter. Sign in once; it stays signed in. We recommend a stand and a charger by the pass, and we'll help set it up.

Where does the money go?

To your own Stripe account, usually the next business day. Munchly never holds your money. At the end of each month we send one bill: 1% of the orders placed through your table cards, itemised from the same data that runs your kitchen screen.

Can I change the menu myself?

Yes. Prices, items, milks and extras are yours to edit, and sold‑out items disappear from the menu the moment you turn them off.

What if the internet drops mid‑service?

The kitchen screen keeps what it has and catches up the moment the connection returns. Orders placed while it was down appear without anyone touching anything.
