## FAQ

**Q: Do I need to change my POS?**
A: No. MenuZap runs standalone, and connects to your existing POS via Zapier or a direct API where your provider allows it.

**Q: How long does setup take?**
A: Usually under 30 minutes. We handle the menu build and the QR/NFC setup — you just place the codes on the tables.

**Q: Does my customer need to install an app?**
A: Never. The menu opens in the phone's browser the moment they scan. Works on any smartphone.

**Q: What if the internet drops during service?**
A: Orders queue on the device and the backend retries delivery. We are actively hardening retry and timeout handling so a network hiccup never loses a kitchen ticket.

**Q: Is MenuZap secure?**
A: Yes. All restaurant data is isolated per account. Server-side geofence prevents outside orders. RLS policies protect data access.
