The customer
A café-branded menu on their own phone
Reached by scanning the code on the table. No app, no account, no personal details. They can see the orders they placed and nothing else — not the rest of the table's, not the café's.

What Pixercise is
Four screens and one clear boundary. This page is the honest description — what it does, and what it deliberately does not.
In one paragraph
Pixercise is a digital ordering and operating layer for independent cafés. Customers scan a QR code at the table, browse the café's own menu and order without installing an app or creating an account. Staff accept and run those orders from one screen, the kitchen works from a display, and the owner can see service remotely. Pixercise does not replace the café's point-of-sale or till, and does not process customer payments.
Four screens. That is the whole system.
Floor staff
One board for the whole room
New orders waiting to be accepted, what is in progress, which tables are open. Staff can also enter an order taken verbally, so the board stays a true picture of the room rather than only the digital half of it.
The kitchen
A queue on a shared tablet
Accepted orders oldest first. Preparing, then ready, one tap each. The screen distinguishes a quiet kitchen from a disconnected one.
The owner
Service from anywhere, and the record afterwards
Live tables and pending orders while it is happening. Afterwards, what was ordered by business day, and an unalterable log of every price change, void and staff change with the name attached.
What it does not do
Stated as plainly as the features, because this is the half people get wrong:
- It does not replace your point-of-sale or till.
- It does not process customer payments.
- It does not require customers to install an app or make an account.
- It does not collect customer names, phone numbers or email addresses.
- It does not do inventory, loyalty, delivery integration or customer marketing.
- It does not predict how long your kitchen will take — it shows a range you set.
The parts you would set up
- Your menu — categories, items, prices, availability. Marking something sold out takes effect on the next customer’s screen.
- Your tables — each gets a printable code. Codes can be rotated if one is ever misused.
- Your people — invited by email, each with a role. They choose their own password; you never see it.
- Your kitchen device — any screen that can open a browser registers itself the first time it opens the display.
- Your hours and limits — when ordering is open, and the ceilings that keep a prank from reaching the pass.
On money
Order totals are shown because they are a truthful record of what was ordered, in your café’s own currency. They are never summed into takings and never presented as revenue. A table being closed means a staff member marked it finished — it asserts nothing about whether it was paid, because Pixercise does not observe payment.
