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
Selects products to promote
The restaurant defines add-ons, drinks, and sets worth showing alongside specific dishes or categories.
Shows suggestion at the right moment
The proposal appears right when the guest or waiter is placing the order and making decisions.
Sees a matching proposal
The suggestion might be a sauce, drink, dessert, a larger set, or another relevant add-on tailored to the item.
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.

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.
OrderNow ecosystem
How add-on prompts connect with sales and retention
Add-on suggestions make the most sense when they operate in channels where the guest is already ordering, and results feed back into reports.
QR Menu
Guests can see matching add-ons at the table, without waiting for a waiter to suggest them.
Coupons & Discounts
Suggestions can be combined with controlled promos, if the venue has a clear goal and limits.
Reports and analytics
Reports show which suggestions are selected and where menu exposure should be adjusted.
Current feature
Add-on prompts
Flow in the system: Dish → suggestion → add-on
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
Check where your menu loses add-on sales
During the demo, we'll go through specific dishes, add-ons, and sales channels to see if suggestions make sense in your venue.
