Question 1

What is AhaarScan?

Accepted Answer

AhaarScan is a commission-free QR ordering platform that helps restaurants accept direct orders via a simple QR code — without relying on food aggregators like Swiggy or Zomato. Restaurants retain full control over customer relationships, data, and revenue.

Question 2

How much does AhaarScan cost?

Accepted Answer

AhaarScan offers a Monthly plan at ₹399/month and a Yearly plan at ₹2,999/year (equivalent to ₹250/month — saving ₹1,789 compared to monthly billing). Both plans include all features: QR ordering, menu management, analytics, table management, and customer data capture. No per-order commissions are charged on either plan.

Question 3

Does AhaarScan charge commission on orders?

Accepted Answer

No. AhaarScan operates on a SaaS model — you pay a flat monthly subscription fee. There are zero per-order commissions on any orders placed through the platform.

Question 4

Do customers need to download an app to order?

Accepted Answer

No. Customers simply scan the QR code at your restaurant and place orders directly in their mobile browser. No app download and no sign-up is required.

Question 5

What types of restaurants can use AhaarScan?

Accepted Answer

AhaarScan works for all food businesses — fine-dine restaurants, cafés, QSRs (quick service restaurants), cloud kitchens, bakeries, dessert brands, and multi-outlet or franchise operations.

Question 6

How is AhaarScan different from Swiggy or Zomato?

Accepted Answer

Unlike aggregators that charge 15–30% commission and control the customer relationship, AhaarScan gives restaurants direct access to their customers, full order data, and growth tools — all at a flat monthly SaaS fee with zero commission cuts.

Question 7

Does AhaarScan support dine-in, takeaway, and delivery orders?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AhaarScan supports all three order types: dine-in (table ordering via QR), takeaway, and delivery — all managed from a single restaurant dashboard.

Question 8

Does AhaarScan include a loyalty and coupons program?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AhaarScan has a built-in loyalty points program and discount coupons. Customers earn points on completed orders and redeem them for discounts, and restaurants can run percentage or flat-amount coupon codes — both applied at checkout. It's the simplest way to turn first-time customers into repeat customers without paying for ads.

Question 9

Can customers order via WhatsApp and pay online?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Customers can send their order straight to your WhatsApp in one tap, and pay by UPI or card with payments verified automatically. Online payments can settle to the restaurant's bank account the next day, and every new order appears on the dashboard in real time with a sound alert.
