Restaurants

Restaurants are a use case on Kharisma, not a jar type.

Most restaurants will use a Business jar.

The experience stays simple: scan, choose an amount, and confirm.

What restaurants can do

• accept tips at the table or counter
• receive payments for services where enabled
• send receipts
• use Apple Pay, Google Pay, and cards
• link servers, kitchen staff, or bar teams into a Shared Jar
• let guests choose a specific person or split across a team
• invite staff and launch quickly with one QR experience

What restaurants cannot do

• use recurring service payments
• accept service payments through a Shared Jar outside the Business jar flow

Where to place QR codes

Place QR codes where guests naturally pause.

• table tents
• receipt holders
• host stand signs
• pickup counters
• catering inserts
• event signage

POP materials

Printed materials work best when the message is direct.

Good copy:

• Scan to tip our team
• Scan to pay or leave a tip
• Pay in seconds
• Support our service team
