QR-driven ordering and payments for restaurants

Overview

Qlub.io provides a digital ordering and payment platform for restaurants using QR codes. Guests scan a table QR to view menus, place orders, and pay, with options to split bills and add tips. The system supports Apple Pay, Google Pay, and various cards, and integrates with leading payment providers and top POS systems. Restaurants can go live in under 48 hours, and the platform is typically sold via subscription or transaction fees. Qlub.io differentiates itself through strong POS integration, rapid deployment, and features that encourage online reviews, aiming to save time (up to 16 minutes per table) and streamline operations. The company’s goal is to improve customer experience and operational efficiency for restaurants while boosting their online reputation.

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • Stripe’s 2026 profile shows qlub onboarded new restaurants in one to three days.
  • Qlub raised $30 million in July 2025 from Mubadala, Shorooq, Cherry, e&, and Legend Capital.
  • Mastercard, Samsung, and regional restaurant brands validate demand across GCC and Asia.

What critics are saying

  • Toast, Square, and Adyen can bundle similar checkout features and crush pricing by 2027.
  • Qlub’s model depends on restaurant volume; any merchant churn cuts transaction revenue immediately.
  • If partner rails shift or margin compression hits, Qlub becomes a commodity payments layer.

What makes qlub unique

  • Stripe says qlub serves 3,000 restaurant brands across five markets as of 2026.
  • Qlub combines QR payments, table-side terminals, tips, bill-splitting, and POS integrations.
  • Samsung Wallet and Mastercard integrations widen checkout options without requiring app downloads.
