NEOPAY and fintech Nymbl launch “Nymbl QX”, a QR order-and-pay system for UAE restaurants.

Diners scan a code, browse menus, order and pay without waiting for staff or bills.

Restaurants gain “smoother operations”, faster table turnover and fewer payment bottlenecks.

The platform fits NEOPAY’s “business-in-a-box” push to reduce daily merchant friction.

With QR services rising, the partners expect wider adoption across UAE food and beverage venues.

NEOPAY has teamed up with UAE fintech Nymbl to roll out Nymbl QX, a QR-based order-at-table and pay-at-table system aimed squarely at food and beverage operators across the country. The idea is simple enough: diners scan a code at their table, browse the menu, place an order and pay on their phone, without waiting for staff, paper menus or the bill to arrive.

For restaurants, the promise is smoother operations. No queues at the counter, fewer awkward handovers of card machines, and a quicker turnaround between tables. I’ve lost count of dinners where paying the bill turned into a bit of a faff, so this kind of thing feels long overdue, well… I mean, especially in busy urban spots.

According to Umair Siddiqui, Head of VAS, Data and Lending at NEOPAY, the partnership builds on the company’s broader “business-in-a-box” approach for merchants. He said the integration helps remove friction from ordering and payments, letting restaurateurs focus more on service quality while customers enjoy a more seamless experience. The wider goal, he added, is to push digital adoption across merchant ecosystems with tools that actually solve day-to-day problems.

Nymbl QX is now available across NEOPAY’s payment network, and merchants can enable it during onboarding. The platform centres on two things that matter most on the restaurant floor: managing orders efficiently and handling secure digital payments. Together, those elements are meant to speed up service flow and get tables freed up faster, which in this climate is spot on for operators juggling rising costs and staff pressures.

Dayan V Ipe, CEO of Nymbl, described the move as a deepening of the relationship between the two companies. By combining QR ordering with built-in payments, he said restaurants can reduce wait times and offer diners a more convenient experience, without compromising on payment security.

There’s a bigger picture here too. Across the UAE, contactless and QR-enabled services are fast becoming the norm in hospitality. On the flip side, not everyone loves scanning codes for everything, and I’m not a fan of tech for tech’s sake. But when it genuinely saves time and headaches, I reckon adoption will definately keep growing.

At Arageek, we often hear founders talk about small operational wins making a huge difference. One café owner recently told me how shaving just five minutes off payment time during lunch rush changed their entire day. Stories like that explain why solutions like this are gaining traction. As NEOPAY and Nymbl look to scale Nymbl QX over the coming years, they’ll be hoping many more F&B businesses across the UAE end up chuffed to bits with the results.
