What is Volio?

Volio is one ordering system for hospitality: guests order and pay from their own phone, and the team runs the floor, the POS and the kitchen display from the same orders, on the phones and tablets the venue already owns. It's for restaurants, bars, clubs, beach clubs, cafés, hotel bars and food trucks.

What Volio does, day to day

The QR menu on a phone: dishes with photos and prices

Guests order and pay by phone

They scan the code on the table, read the menu in their own language and order from several phones at once. Each guest can pay their own part with Apple Pay, Google Pay or card.

The orders board: tables 11, 3, 6 and 21, each order marked paid, being made or served

The team works from the same orders

The floor plan, the orders board, the POS, waiter mode on a staff phone and the kitchen display, with each dish sent to the place that makes it.

The venue's own page on a phone, with Order for pickup and Book a table

Takeaway on one link

Share it on Instagram or Google. Guests order and pay ahead, pick a time and collect by number.

The venue's page on a phone: book a table, see the menu, gift cards and rewards

Bookings, gift cards and rewards

Guests book from the venue's page, send a gift card now or on a chosen day, and collect points kept with an email.

Today: takings so far, labour against its target and tables seated

One back office

The menu with sold out in one tap, every guest who ordered or booked, and takings by day and hour, exported to Excel or CSV.

A menu board on a TV: dishes and prices, with happy hour prices

On the screens you have

Any phone, tablet or computer with a browser, and menu boards on any TV with a small Android TV box.

What Volio isn't

Said plainly, so nobody joins for something it doesn't do.

  • A hardware seller

    Volio sells no hardware. It runs on the phones, tablets and computers you own, and cloud ticket printers are an option.

  • A delivery service

    Volio doesn't deliver. Takeaway is ordered and paid ahead, then collected.

  • Room service

    In a hotel restaurant, bar or pool bar, a lounger is numbered like a table. Volio doesn't do room service or charge to a room.

  • A sunbed marketplace

    Beach bars number their sunbeds and take bookings for them. Volio doesn't rent sunbeds out or keep a map of beaches.

Where Volio is today

Volio launched in October 2026. The screens on this site are Volio's demo venue, Honest.

  • Founding 500

    The first 500 venues keep their launch price for 24 months. Launch price ends December 31, 2026.

  • 30 days of Pro, free

    Every venue starts with a card and a month of Pro. Cancel any time and the QR menu stays online, free. See the plans and prices.

For the press

Volio publishes the Ordering System Price Index: what QR ordering, pay-at-the-table and restaurant POS products print about their prices, read on their own pages and dated. Free to quote and reuse with a link.

  • What it found

    Of 15 products, 13 publish a plan price and 2 publish none. Of the 12 that take card payments as part of the product, 4 publish their card rate.

  • How it was read

    Only the vendors' own pricing pages, terms and help centres, no sales calls or test accounts. Each figure links its page and the day it was read; this edition was last changed on Oct 13, 2026.

  • The data

    The index, with a CSV of every plan, its source and its date. Corrections go in its changelog.
