This is your end-to-end playbook — six chapters that take you from QR setup to payouts in under thirty minutes.
You're on the L'Addition side of the guide — everything you need to take payments with the Quro bill-scan QR card. Tap La Commande for QR-menu ordering, Tables, and Menu Management.
Welcome to Quro
One card. One photo. Done. Quro replaces the terminal and the bill folder with a single printed QR card your customer scans, photographs their bill against, and pays — start to finish in under thirty seconds.
~30 second checkout
Scan, snap, pay. Faster than running a card. Faster than splitting cash.
Stripe-backed payouts
Funds settle straight into your Stripe account on your normal Stripe schedule. No new bank, no reconciliation chore.
Higher tips, by default
On-screen tip prompts typically lift gratuity 18–24% over verbal asks.
Your one tool
With L'Addition alone there's exactly one thing to learn: the QR card workflow. The next five chapters walk you through printing it, handing it out, recovering it for reuse, and reading what landed.
Your QR card — print, hand, recover
Each Quro card is a small printed badge that encodes a private link tied to your business. Hand one out with the bill, take it back when the customer's done, give it to the next table. Built to be reused all night.

— Quro
1
Print the cards
Open My QR in the sidebar, pick a size, download the PDF. Three sizes ship: business card, countertop sign, wall poster. Print at home on regular paper, then laminate or sleeve the small ones for daily handling.
2
Hand a card out with the bill
When the customer asks for the cheque, drop a printed Quro card on the tray with their bill. That single gesture replaces the entire "fetch the terminal, run it, void it, retry" loop.
3
Customer pays in ~30 seconds
They scan, photograph the bill, confirm the total, add a tip, pay through Stripe. You see it land live on the My QR → Completed payments tab and (if wired) by SMS + email.
4
Take the card back. Give it to the next table.
The card is reusable forever — every scan uses the same private token. Just collect them, wipe down, rotate. A 10-card stack at the host stand is enough for most dinner services.
Lost a card? Email support.
If a card walks away with a guest or gets stolen, email support@quro.ca. We rotate your QR token within the hour — every previously-printed card stops working instantly, and you reprint fresh from My QR. Only Quro admins can rotate, so no one can lock you out of your own cards.
What happens when they scan
From the customer's side, paying with Quro is shorter than ordering an Uber. Here's exactly what they see.
1
Camera opens to your bill-scan page
No app to download. The QR opens straight to a mobile-optimized page branded with your business name.
2
They photograph the bill
One photo. The Revenu Québec QR code on the bottom of the bill must be in frame, along with the total amount. Quro reads the QR for a high-confidence total, with the printed total as a fallback.
3
They confirm the amount
Quro always shows a confirmation screen — even when the QR scrape is 100% certain. This is the human checkpoint that protects against a misread; we never auto-pay.
4
Stripe checkout with optional tip
Stripe-hosted page. Apple Pay / Google Pay / cards. Tip presented up front. Authorize. Done.
If the photo isn't readable
The customer falls through to a manual amount-entry screen with the same Stripe checkout at the end. The flow always finishes in a payment, never a dead end.
You get notified
Every successful payment fires an SMS and/or email to you within seconds, plus appears live in My QR → Completed payments.
Coach the photo, not the bill
"Centered, bright, both QR + total visible" is your only instruction for the photo step. Once a customer's done it once, they nail it every time after.
Three tools that scale you up
L'Addition alone gets you one card and one flow — the right answer for most small operators. La Commande adds QR-menu ordering straight to your kitchen, per-table QR routing, and live menu management for full-service rooms where the bill-scan card alone isn't the whole story.
Order to the kitchen
Customers scan the table QR, browse your menu and send the order straight to your kitchen queue. The bill still comes from your own system.
Tables & per-table QR
Unique QR per table. Payments land in your queue already tagged with the right table — floor staff knows exactly which check is closed.
Menu Management
Photos, categories, promos, out-of-stock toggles. Customers browse and order without flagging a server.
La Commande is added from Settings
With La Commande on, the Tables / Menu Management / Live Queue entries appear in your sidebar automatically. Add or drop it any time from Settings → Your modules ($20 / month as your second module). Without it, your account stays on the bill-scan card flow — see the L'Addition side of the guide. What turning a module off does, and what to do when your subscription is not active, is under Your modules in chapter 5 of the L'Addition side.
Order to the kitchen
Customers scan the QR on their table, browse your menu and send their order straight to your kitchen queue — no waiter trip, no payment taken. You enter the sale in your own POS, your certified SEV prints the bill, and they pay it by scanning it.
1
They scan the table QR
The menu card on the table opens your live menu on their phone — photos, categories, promos, out-of-stock hidden.
2
They send the order
One tap: Send order to the kitchen. No card, no payment, no account. Quro numbers it (CMD-000042) and stamps the table.
3
It lands in your Live Order Queue
Tagged Unpaid. Your staff enters the sale in your own POS, exactly as if the waiter had taken it.
4
The bill comes from your SEV
Your certified system prints the bill with its Revenu Québec QR; the customer pays it by bill-scan and the order closes itself.
Why the order collects no money
Quro is not a certified sales recording system (SEV). The compliant bill must come from yours — so Quro carries the order to the kitchen and takes the payment against your bill, never in place of it.
Tables & per-table QR
Each table gets its own QR. When a customer scans, the payment lands on your dashboard already tagged with the right table — floor staff knows exactly which check is closed without a single radio call.
1
Add your tables
From the sidebar, open Tables & Locations and add a row per table, patio chair, bar stool, booth — whatever your floor plan calls for. Use clear labels: "Patio 3", "Bar 7", "Booth A".
2
Print the per-table QR
Each row has a download button for its unique QR. Same three sizes as the master card. Print, laminate, mount on the napkin holder or under acrylic.
3
Customer scans → table-aware checkout
Server takes the order in the kitchen; customer scans the table QR to pay. Both halves of the transaction reference the same table ID.
4
Dashboard shows live table state
Idle / active KPI cards with last-paid timestamps. Watch your turnover rate in real time. Tips and splits auto-attribute to the right server's section.
A Can I move QRs between tables? expand_more
Avoid it. The QR encodes a stable table ID; swapping stickers misroutes payments on your dashboard. If you reconfigure the room, regenerate the QRs.
B What about counter / takeout orders? expand_more
Create a single "Counter" or "Pickup" table. Counter payments get tagged with that label so you can still slice analytics by service mode.
Live order queue
The kitchen-side view. Every order sent from a table QR drops into the queue with a live MM:SS timer. Four states, four tap targets — that's the whole kitchen UI.
1
New → Preparing
Payment lands. Order appears in New. Kitchen taps once to move it to Preparing; the prep timer starts.
2
Preparing → Ready
When the plate's up, tap Ready. Timer turns green under 5 min, amber 5–10, red past 10. That's your SLA at a glance.
3
Ready → Done
Server taps Done when the plate hits the table. Ticket archives. Analytics records the full prep time.
KDS without the KDS hardware
No dedicated kitchen display system needed. Pin Live Order Queue on a cheap tablet near the pass. Tap targets are large; the screen reads clearly from six feet away.
Analytics that matter
The dashboard tracks every payment that came through your bill-scan QR — gross sales, tips, average ticket, and what hours your traffic peaks.
Gross + net
Total received and net after Stripe fees. Day, week, month, custom ranges.
Tip uplift
Average tip % and tip-bearing share of tickets. Watch what default presets do to your average.
When you got paid
Hour-by-hour heat. Confirms whether the dinner rush is when you think it is.
Average ticket
AOV trended over time. If AOV is dropping while volume is rising, you're a volume business — bundle to push tickets up.
AI Insight Report
Click Generate Insight Report on the chart panel for a plain-English readout: peak hours, top movers, anomalies, and one specific recommendation for tomorrow. Best used at end-of-week debriefs.
Settings
One screen. The defaults are sane — change only what matters for how you operate.
1
Tipping
On by default: when a customer pays a bill through Quro they can add a tip (15 / 18 / 20 % or their own amount). Turn it off if your house does not take tips. There is no text message or email per payment — every payment, tip included, is on your dashboard the moment it lands.
2
Public directory listing
Off by default. Toggle on to appear in the Quro public merchant directory at
quro.ca — customers landing there without a card can pick you and pay. Toggle off any time to disappear from the list.
3
Your modules
L'Addition — the QR card this guide is about — is itself a module, and La Commande (QR-menu ordering to the kitchen, tables, menu management, the live queue) is the other. Both are turned on and off from one card: Settings → Your modules. The price rule is the same in either order: your first module is $50 CAD/month, the second $20/month, taxes extra. Turning a module off takes effect right away: its entries leave the sidebar, its pages send you to the ones you keep, per-table menu QR cards stop working (La Commande) or your QR card and directory listing stop taking payments (L'Addition), and your Stripe subscription is adjusted with a proration on the next invoice. Nothing is deleted — turn it back on and your menu, tables and settings are where you left them.
4
Subscription
Quro is billed by Stripe: first module $50 CAD/month, second module $20/month, taxes extra — L'Addition and La Commande, in either order. Manage billing through the Stripe portal — receipts, payment method, cancel any time. If the Subscription card says your subscription is not active (never activated, expired or cancelled), press Reactivate subscription: the first month is charged on Stripe's payment page and nothing else changes — your modules, tables and menu stay as they are.
5
Stripe Connect status
See whether your Stripe account is ready to charge. If something's off, the dashboard tells you exactly which step needs to finish.
Test it before opening day.
Walk through the whole flow yourself once, with Stripe's test card numbers. Five minutes; you'll know exactly what your customers see.
Practice mode · no real money moves
1
Open My QR → Try as customer
From your dashboard sidebar, hit My QR, then click Try as customer. A fresh tab opens as if you'd just scanned your own card.
2
Take a photo (or use demo mode)
Snap any receipt, or — if demo mode is on — the page mocks the total at $75 and skips the photo step. You'll land on the confirm screen either way.
3
Pay with a test card
Tap any card below to copy the number. Use any future expiry, any 3-digit CVC, any postal code.
stripe · practice cards

tap to copy
Four test cards. Tap to copy the number.
For all four → use any future expiry (e.g. 12/30), any 3-digit CVC, any postal code.
Staff training in 60 seconds
Open the dashboard on the front-of-house screen. Run three back-to-back practice payments with the Success card, then one each with Declined and Bank challenge. Staff will instinctively recognise the green flash + ding for "settled" and silence for "still owing." That's the entire training.
