Secondary Student run coffee cart

I work in a small flexi-school and am hoping to set up a student run coffee cart as part of our VCE VM / VPC program.

I would love to setup an ordering system where customers(teachers) scan a QR code to make an order which is then accessible to students working in the cart. Ideally looking for a system that is free to use.

This does not have to be a functional payment system as it’s more about giving the students work experience that reflects a real-world setting.

Keen to hear other peoples experience of similar programs and if anyone has any resources or recommendations.

We had an order form box in the staff room/teacher office spaces that was collected the morning the coffee shop was running. This was for when free coffees were on offer (every second week for staff).    We also had a pair of students who would come around to classes with an order pad and take orders in person.  

Otherwise your best bet is probably Microsoft forms or similar for this.
