Requesting the Bill From the Table: How Does It Work?

The "request bill" button lets the customer send a bill request from the QR menu screen — without raising a hand or waiting for a waiter. The request lands in the dashboard instantly, showing clearly which table it's from.

Is this the same as calling a waiter?

No, but they belong to the same in-table call family — both appear as separate buttons on the menu screen. "Call waiter" is a general help request, while "request bill" is specifically for a customer ready to move to payment.

How are repeated requests from the same table blocked?

A second request of the same type from the same table within a short window is blocked automatically — so the dashboard doesn't fill up with duplicate notifications from accidental repeated taps.

Is this feature on every plan?

No, call waiter and request bill is a feature available on VelorySoftMenü's Enterprise plan.
