The floor plan, the orders, and the bill — all in one place.
NextUp gives your front-of-house a live drag-and-drop floor plan, your guests a QR menu at every table, and your team real-time bill tracking — for a fraction of what OpenTable costs.

Everything your floor needs
Four modules that work together from the moment you open.
Live floor plan
Build your layout in minutes. Drag tables, label sections, colour-code by status. Every host and server sees the same floor, live. No reloading, no stale paper chart.
- Drag-and-drop table placement
- Sections: main room, bar, patio
- Colour status: open, seated, check requested
- Server assignment per table
QR ordering at the table
Guests scan the QR code printed on their table. Your menu loads instantly — no app, no sign-up. Orders land in the kitchen display the moment they confirm.
- One QR code per table, printed in seconds
- Full menu with photos, descriptions and modifiers
- Orders route straight to kitchen display
- Guests can add items any time
Pay at the table
Send the bill as a QR code. Guests pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or a card. You see the payment settle before they stand up — no terminal to pass around, no waiting for change.
- Powered by Stripe — payments land in your account
- Apple Pay and Google Pay in one tap
- Split the bill by seat or amount
- No per-cover fee from NextUp
Live bill & order dashboard
See every open table, every pending order and every unsettled bill on one screen. Nothing falls through the cracks during a rush.
- Real-time order status: pending, in kitchen, served
- Bill status: open, bill sent, paid
- Filter by server or section
- Works on any browser — phone, tablet or laptop
