Services · Mobile app development · QR menu apps
Codeeo provides QR code menu development USA restaurant brands, franchise systems and hospitality groups use to run table ordering, pickup and pay at the table from one menu platform. Guests scan, order and pay with cards, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Each location gets the prices, taxes, fees and disclosures its state and city require, while head office controls the brand, the menu library and the data.
Federal rules set the floor: calorie labeling for larger chains, ADA accessibility, card security under PCI DSS and consent before marketing texts. States and cities then add their own rules on privacy, fees and cash. A national system has to apply the right rule at the right location automatically.

What the platform can include
A single restaurant can manage a QR menu by hand. A brand with locations in a dozen states cannot. Prices vary by market, sales tax varies by address, and the rules for fees, privacy notices and nutrition disclosure change at state and sometimes city lines. Franchisees may run different POS systems from corporate stores, and every location has its own hours and sold out items.
The features below form the core of a national QR ordering platform. We decide the first release with you, usually starting with the shared menu library, POS connections and compliance logic, because everything else depends on them.
Head office owns item names, photos, descriptions and nutrition data. Each region or location can override price, availability and limited time items without touching the master record, and changes can be scheduled to go live at a set hour in each time zone.
One source of truth for the brand, local control where it matters.
Chains with twenty or more locations doing business under the same name must post calories for standard items, the 2,000 calorie statement and a note that more nutrition information is available. FDA treats menus guests order from online as menus, so the QR menu shows these values from the item record.
Every location shows the required calorie information.
Rules attach to locations, not designs. A California store shows its service charge on the menu as state law requires, New York City chain units show the sodium icon, and a Massachusetts store keeps its allergen notice. When a rule changes, it is updated once and applies to every affected location, with a log of who changed it and when.
Local rules apply automatically as you open new markets.
California, Texas, Virginia, Colorado and a growing list of states have consumer privacy laws with their own thresholds and rights. The platform supports notices, opt outs of sale and targeted advertising, Global Privacy Control signals and access or deletion requests, switched on by state as your legal team decides.
Privacy requests are handled the same way in every state.
Restaurants are public accommodations under Title III of the ADA, and the Department of Justice has said their websites should be accessible. We build to WCAG 2.1 AA and test with VoiceOver and TalkBack on every release, including the payment step.
Guests with disabilities can order on their own phones.
Cards and wallets run through your processor's hosted fields or SDK so raw card data never touches your servers, which keeps PCI DSS scope small. Tip prompts, tax by location and split checks work the same everywhere, with cash still available where local law requires it.
Fast payment with the smallest possible compliance footprint.
Corporate stores may run one POS while franchisees run Toast, Square, Clover or an enterprise system. An integration layer maps the central menu to each POS through supported partner APIs, so orders arrive in each kitchen in its native format. Menu changes made centrally are pushed to each POS, so item codes stay aligned and sales reports match.
One platform across a mixed POS estate.
Text and email marketing need separate consent from the order itself. The platform captures opt-in in line with the federal TCPA and CAN-SPAM rules, records when and where consent was given, and honors opt outs across every location at once.
Marketing lists you can defend if a complaint arrives.
Spanish is a core language for many US guests, and markets such as Miami, Houston or the Bay Area may need more. Translations sit on the item record, so a menu change in one language flags the others for review.
Translated menus stay in step with the English menu.
Dashboards show order volume, check size, item mix and wait times by location, region, brand or franchisee. Franchisees see their own stores; corporate sees the network. Data exports feed your existing finance or analytics tools. Regional managers can compare wait times across their stores and spot a kitchen that needs help.
Every level of the business sees the numbers it needs.
Who this is for
Restaurant businesses in the US are organized in very different ways: corporate-owned chains, franchise systems with hundreds of independent owners, hotel groups with outlets in many cities and contract caterers serving stadiums and campuses. The right platform follows that structure, especially around who owns guest data and who can change the menu. These are the four situations we plan for most, and many networks combine two or more of them.
Franchisors want brand control and network-wide data; franchisees want local prices, staff permissions and their own reports. We set out data ownership and access rules in the franchise context before building, then give each level its own admin view. New franchisees onboard by connecting their POS and inheriting the brand menu, ready to adjust only what the franchise agreement allows. Royalty reporting can draw on the same order data, which reduces disputes over sales figures.
Agree data rights before the first store goes live.
Chains growing from one state into several meet new tax rates, new privacy laws and sometimes new city rules with each expansion. We build the location rule engine early, so opening in a new state means configuring rules and prices rather than changing code. Calorie labeling applies once you reach twenty locations, and we prepare the nutrition data before you cross that line. Opening new stores across a state line then follows a checklist instead of a development ticket.
Hotels run restaurants, bars, pool service and in-room dining under one brand across many cities. Room charging through the property management system, outlet hours and fee disclosure are central here. Where mandatory charges apply to lodging, the FTC rule on unfair or deceptive fees for short-term lodging and live-event tickets requires the total price shown up front, so we design checkout around that.
Contract caterers run concessions at venues in several states, each with its own owner, ticketing system and alcohol rules. Seat ordering, express pickup, stand-level caps and settlement reports are the core. We keep venue settings separate, so a new contract becomes a configuration task and the platform keeps one codebase. Venue owners can receive their own reports without access to other contracts' data.
Built for crowd peaks across many venues.
How we work together
Codeeo has no US office. Our team of 80+ in Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi works remotely with clients across the United States, so discovery, reviews and launch checks are held by video call. Brands often begin with a fixed scope pilot in one market, then move to a retainer as rollout continues. Larger networks usually take a dedicated team for the platform's long-term roadmap. We have delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US and are rated 4.7 from 23 Google reviews.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Guests use a web app that opens from the phone camera without an install, backed by a cloud platform with APIs for POS, payments and analytics. Native iOS and Android apps join when loyalty or saved payments justify them.

03Marketing and tracking
POS variety, state count and franchise structure, more than design.
Every POS family needs its own integration and testing. Each new state brings tax, privacy and sometimes fee rules to configure. Franchise systems add permission layers and data sharing rules. Native apps, loyalty and multiple languages add further scope. We price after discovery against a written feature list, so you can see which decisions move the budget and phase the rest into later releases. Data migration from an existing ordering vendor, if you are switching, is another factor worth raising early.
