Restaurant floor plan app, QR ordering and waitlist — all in one place.
NextUp gives your front-of-house a live drag-and-drop restaurant floor plan, your guests a QR menu at every table, and your walk-in waitlist running from the moment doors open — for a fraction of what OpenTable costs.
No third-party app to download · Works on any tablet or laptop · Apple Pay, Google Pay or card
Everything your floor needs
Four modules that work together from the moment you open.
Live floor plan
Build your layout in minutes. Drag tables, label sections, colour-code by status. Every host and server sees the same floor, live. No reloading, no stale paper chart.
- Drag-and-drop table placement
- Sections: main room, bar, patio
- Colour status: open, seated, check requested
- Server assignment per table
QR ordering at the table
Guests scan the QR code printed on their table. Your menu loads instantly — no app, no sign-up. Orders land in the kitchen display the moment they confirm.
- One QR code per table, printed in seconds
- Full menu with photos, descriptions and modifiers
- Orders route straight to kitchen display
- Guests can add items any time
Pay at the table
Send the bill as a QR code. Guests pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or a card. You see the payment settle before they stand up — no terminal to pass around, no waiting for change.
- Powered by Stripe — payments land in your account
- Apple Pay and Google Pay in one tap
- Split the bill by seat or amount
- No per-cover fee from NextUp
Live bill & order dashboard
See every open table, every pending order and every unsettled bill on one screen. Nothing falls through the cracks during a rush.

- Filter by server or section
- Works on any browser — phone, tablet or laptop
Friday at 7 pm. Every table in view.
Host, servers and manager all see the same floor, live — no reloading, no paper chart, no shouting across the room.
The whole visit, from their phone.
From the parking lot to the tip — guests join the wait, order at the table and pay before they stand up. No app, no sign-in, no flagging down a server for the check.
Guests scan the QR at the door, add their name and party size, and they're in line — before they've even stepped inside.
Every table has a QR code. Guests pick from your full menu, add items any time, and orders land in the kitchen the moment they confirm.
The bill arrives as a QR code on their phone. One tap with Apple Pay or Google Pay — you see it settle in real time, no terminal required.
Up and running before your next service
Three steps from sign-up to a live floor.
