When calculating restaurant or café expenses, many restaurateurs underestimate recurring paper menu costs. Dish price changes, seasonal offers, wear and spilled liquids require several trips to the printer each year at considerable expense. A digital QR menu reduces these costs to zero.
There are two main pricing models on the market. The first is a monthly or annual subscription (SaaS): you pay a fixed recurring fee to use a ready-made platform. This suits small cafés that do not want to make a large upfront investment.
The second model is developing your own custom QR platform. You pay developers once and receive a unique design matching your brand, your own domain and an administration panel, without subsequent mandatory monthly fees. Medium and large restaurants that value brand independence and exceptional quality prefer this approach.
Additional features also affect the price: multilingual support, for example 3 languages, the ability to take orders directly from tables, or automatic integration with the kitchen.
