Try Halfway Express in under 2 minutes.
We've set up a sample course called Demo Golf Club with the same menu and admin panel a real course gets. Order anything — it's simulated, no kitchen actually receives the WhatsApp message.
Three things to try
- 1
The player view
Scan the QR — except you don't need a QR. Just open the demo course's menu URL on your phone (or laptop). Add items to the cart, fill in your name + WhatsApp number, and tap Send Order. WhatsApp will open with a pre-filled message — you can cancel that, or send it to your own number to see what the kitchen receives.
Open the player menu No login needed. - 2
The kitchen tablet
After you place an order in step 1, the kitchen view will show it live with an audio chime. Status columns let you advance the order through Preparing → Ready → Collected. Try placing two orders — the second arrives with a different chime.
Open the kitchen view Sign in first (see credentials below). - 3
The course admin
Edit the menu, change brand colours, see your order history, manage settings. This is where a course manager spends their time. Add a new menu item, mark something unavailable, or change the kitchen WhatsApp number.

Demo credentials
These work at /login — pick "Have a password? Sign in with it" and use:
- demo@halfwayexpress.co.za
- Password
- Demo123
Anyone can sign in with these — please don't use them as a long-term workspace. We periodically reset the demo course's menu and orders.
