Suggested Selling

Sell add-ons exactly when the guest is choosing a dish

OrderNow helps show configured add-ons, drinks, and bundles right at the moment of ordering. This means the restaurant doesn't rely only on staff memory or manual menu promotions.

Moment of decision

Dish → suggestion → add-on

Manager01

Selects products to promote

The restaurant defines add-ons, drinks, and sets worth showing alongside specific dishes or categories.

System02

Shows suggestion at the right moment

The proposal appears right when the guest or waiter is placing the order and making decisions.

Guest or Waiter03

Sees a matching proposal

The suggestion might be a sauce, drink, dessert, a larger set, or another relevant add-on tailored to the item.

Operations04

Order moves forward with add-ons

Once accepted, the add-on becomes part of the order and proceeds to the kitchen or bar.

In short

What this feature changes in daily work

What it does

add-on suggestions for specific dishes

Suggestion system for add-ons, drinks, and sets for restaurants, helping to show proposals at the moment of ordering.

Who it helps

pizzerias, burger joints, sushi, kebab shops, and cafes

It works best where guests often add something to their dish, and the venue knows which products to highlight.

Works with

QR Menu, Waiter Panel, Coupons & Discounts

Add-on suggestions make the most sense when they operate in channels where the guest is already ordering, and results feed back into reports.

Before / after

Before & After: team memory vs order suggestions

The problem usually isn't that guests don't want add-ons. Often they don't see them at the right time, or the team lacks the time to offer them consistently.

Process

How an add-on suggestion works during an order

Add-on prompts should support the moment of choice, not act like a pushy salesperson. First, you must specify what to offer and where it makes sense.

Fit

Which venues benefit most from add-on prompts

It works best where guests often add something to their dish, and the venue knows which products to highlight.

Which venues benefit most from add-on prompts

It works best where guests often add something to their dish, and the venue knows which products to highlight.

  • pizzerias, burger joints, sushi, kebab shops, and cafes
  • venues with add-ons, sauces, drinks, desserts, or sets
  • restaurants using QR Menu, waiter panel, or online ordering
  • places where the team rarely suggests high-margin products

When add-on prompts are not the first priority

Suggestions won't fix a menu that lacks logical add-ons or organized variants.

  • very short menus without add-ons or sets
  • venues without organized products, variants, and prices
  • fine dining, where suggestions should arise naturally from waiter interaction
  • stages where organizing the basic order flow is more important

What to measure

What to measure after launching add-on prompts

It's not about promising a magical percentage increase. The module's value is seen when more orders include add-ons and suggestions help promote the right products.

Share of orders with an add-on

Check which dishes prompt guests to add a sauce, drink, dessert, or set more often.

Average basket value

Compare basket sizes across channels and shifts, without assuming every suggestion will raise the result.

Sales of promoted products

Observe whether high-margin products actually gain better exposure in the order flow.

Suggestion effectiveness per channel

Separate QR Menu, waiter panel, and online, as proposals may perform differently in each process.

Suggestions require an updated menu, sensible product pairings, and regular result tracking. Without this, they just become another cluttered layer in the order.

Questions from owners before deploying add-on prompts

Do add-on prompts work automatically?

Not magically. First, you need to set up products, add-ons, and rules, then check which suggestions work in practice.

Can I choose which add-ons to promote?

Yes. The restaurant decides which add-ons, drinks, desserts, or sets appear with specific dishes.

Do suggestions appear in the QR Menu?

Yes, if the venue uses QR Menu and has the tableside ordering flow configured.

Can the waiter use suggestions too?

Yes. Prompts can support the waiter during order taking, but they don't replace their interaction with the guest.

How do I measure suggestion effectiveness?

Check the share of orders with add-ons, sales of promoted items, average basket size, and differences between channels.

Does this make sense for a short menu?

Not always. If the menu has no add-ons, sets, or products to pair logically, this module will not be a priority.

Demo without overpromises
