For all-you-can-eat restaurants
Ordering, kitchen display and payment for all-you-can-eat.
Guests scan a QR at the table to order each round themselves. You set the dishes per guest per round and the wait between rounds. The kitchen display routes each dish to its station. One bill for the fixed price and any drinks.

How it works
Guests order each round from a QR at the table.
Every table has a QR code. Guests open the menu on their phone, build a basket and send it to the kitchen. They do this for each round, without flagging a server.
In the dashboard you set the dishes per guest per round, the wait between rounds, and which dishes are paid extras. Drinks and premium items sit in the same menu and on the same bill.
What the platform does.
- 01
Limits on what each guest orders per round.
Set three limits in the dashboard: dishes per guest per round, wait time between rounds, and an optional cap per dish per ten-minute window. The QR basket blocks anything over a limit before the order is sent. Staff don't need to check it.

Drinks and paid extras in the same menu.
Drinks, sides and paid-upgrade items (e.g. wagyu, lobster) sit in the same QR menu as the AYCE dishes. Guests add them to the same basket. The fixed price and the extras settle on one bill.

Each ticket routed to the right station.
When a table sends an order, the kitchen display splits the ticket. Each dish appears on the screen of the station that prepares it (wok, sushi, steamer, fryer). Each station sees only its own dishes and its current queue, so the kitchen can pace the work across stations.

How the per-round limits work.
Three settings, configured per service: dishes per guest per round, wait time between rounds, and an optional cap per dish per ten-minute window. The QR basket enforces all three. Dietary categories can run on their own queue with their own limits.
Different limits per service
Lunch, dinner, weekdays, weekends and private events can each have their own settings. Change them from one screen, they apply on the next service.
Enforced in the basket
If a guest's basket exceeds a limit, the QR asks them to remove an item or wait for the next round before they can send the order. Staff don't check anything.
Separate queue for dietary and premium dishes
Gluten-free, halal and vegetarian dishes can sit on their own queue with their own caps. Items like wagyu or lobster can require a paid upgrade before they can be added to the basket.

From an all-you-can-eat restaurant using Butlaroo
“We match well with Butlaroo, because we are both companies constantly seeking new innovations.”
Everything we offer.
The same platform across every channel and module: kiosks, QR ordering, POS, web, delivery marketplaces, kitchen display, payments, loyalty and the AI menu.
Common questions.
How long does setup take?
Two to four weeks. We add your menu, configure the per-round limits, train your floor staff in one shift, and start on your busiest service. No onboarding fee.
How do the per-round limits work?
Three settings: dishes per guest per round, wait time between rounds, and an optional cap per dish per ten-minute window. The QR basket checks all three. A guest who exceeds a limit sees a message to remove an item or wait, before the order can be sent.
Can we still sell drinks and premium dishes?
Yes. Drinks and premium dishes like wagyu or lobster sit in the same QR menu and go in the same basket. You can require a paid upgrade for specific items. The fixed AYCE price and the paid extras settle on one bill.
Can the system handle sixty tables ordering at the same time?
Yes. The per-round limits cap how many dishes can be sent per table at a time. The kitchen display shows the queue per station so the kitchen can pace the work. The same setup runs in stadiums and food courts.
Do we keep our existing hardware?
In most cases, yes. Butlaroo runs on any tablet or mini-PC, integrates with Adyen, Stripe, SumUp and over twenty other payment terminals, and works with most receipt printers and kitchen displays.
