Magic Taps: The Future of Table Ordering

Have you ever sat at a restaurant table, waving your hand trying to get a waiter's attention just to ask for a menu? It's a friction point that starts the meal off on the wrong foot. Enter NFC menu cards—a simple, elegant solution that feels like magic.

What are NFC Menu Cards?

NFC stands for Near Field Communication. It's the same technology used in Apple Pay or Google Wallet. By embedding a tiny chip into a durable table stand or card, you allow customers to simply "tap" their phone against it. Instantly, your digital menu opens on their screen. No camera app needed, no scanning pixelated codes.

Why it Beats the QR Code

While QR codes are functional, they require decent lighting and a steady hand. NFC menu cards work in dim candlelight, don't require focusing a camera, and offer a much more premium "tactile" experience. It feels high-tech and sophisticated.

Durability and Hygiene

Paper menus are magnets for germs and tear easily. They need constant re-printing which costs money. Our Tapizy NFC menu cards are made of durable PVC. They are waterproof, easy to sanitize, and last for years. You can change your menu prices digitally 100 times a day, but the physical card on the table never needs to change.

How to Get Started?

Tapizy provides pre-programmed NFC cards that link directly to your customized menu. You just place them on the table. We even include a backup QR code on the card for older phones that might not support background NFC reading (though nearly 98% of modern smartphones do).
