Solutions / Food courts

One scan, every stall, one bill.

A food court only works if the guest journey feels like one place, not twenty separate queues. Papaya lets a table order from every vendor on a single QR, settle one combined bill, and pays each stall out automatically — so guests eat sooner and operators stop running cash between counters.

Where Papaya helps

Three frictions every food court lives with — solved.

A hungry table shouldn’t have to queue at four counters, juggle four receipts, and wait for four cooks who can’t see each other. Papaya stitches independent vendors into one journey while keeping every stall’s money straight.

The pain

A queue at every stall

A group of four wants noodles, rice, salad and drinks — that’s four separate lines and four people guarding a table. Half the visit is spent standing, not eating.

Order every stall from the table

One QR opens a menu spanning all vendors. The table builds a single order across stalls and never leaves their seats.

The pain

Four stalls, four bills

Settling means visiting each counter, paying separately, and hoping the maths adds up before the table turns over.

One combined bill, settled once

Everything the table ordered lands on a single bill. They pay once by PromptPay or card, and the court reconciles the rest.

The pain

Cash chased between counters

With independent vendors under one roof, working out who earned what — and paying each fairly — is a nightly spreadsheet headache.

Centralised settlement, automatic payouts

Takings are collected centrally and split to each vendor by what they actually sold, with a clear statement per stall.

Products that matter here

The parts of Papaya a food court leans on.

Papaya Order

One menu across every vendor.

A single QR at the table opens a menu that spans every stall in the court. The guest orders noodles, rice and drinks in one basket; each vendor receives only its own items.

  • Browse and order from all stalls in one basket
  • Items route to the right vendor’s screen automatically
  • Sell-outs grey out the moment a stall runs low

Papaya Pay

One bill the whole table pays once.

No counter-hopping to settle. The table pays a single combined bill by PromptPay or card, and Papaya splits the money to each vendor behind the scenes.

  • One combined bill across every stall ordered from
  • PromptPay and card, paid from the table
  • Automatic split payouts with a statement per vendor
Explore Papaya Pay
Papaya POS

A till per stall, a view for the court.

Each vendor runs its own counter, menu and ticket queue, while the operator sees the whole court live — open tables, ticket times and takings across every stall.

  • Independent till and menu for each vendor
  • Per-stall ticket queue shows only its own orders
  • Court-wide dashboard of orders, prep times and sales
Explore Papaya POS
From the floor

Guests used to queue at three counters and pay three times — most never made it back for dessert. Now one table scans once, orders from every stall, and pays a single bill. At close, each vendor’s payout is already worked out for them.

Food court questions

Good to know

The things every food court operator asks before signing up vendors.

Takings are collected centrally on the combined bill, then split to each vendor by exactly what they sold. Payouts and a per-stall statement go out on your settlement schedule — typically next day. You set the cycle and any commission the court takes.
Yes. Each stall runs its own menu, prices and stock independently from its own till, and edits flow straight through to the shared guest menu. The court layer sits on top — it doesn’t flatten vendors into one kitchen.
They can still join the shared QR menu and combined bill, with their items routed to a printed ticket or a screen. You lose the live court dashboard for that stall until they move onto Papaya POS, but onboarding is gradual — you don’t need every vendor on day one.
Of course. The single QR is the default for a shared table, but a guest can order from one vendor and pay only for that. Combined billing is an option the table opts into, not something forced on every order.
That vendor’s items grey out across the shared menu the moment stock hits zero or the stall closes for the day, so guests never order something that can’t be made. The rest of the court keeps trading normally.

One court, one journey.

Bring every vendor under a single QR, one combined bill and automatic payouts. Start with the stalls you have, add the rest as they’re ready.
