Choosing the Right Digital Menu Plan for Your Restaurant
April 4, 2026
One Size Does Not Fit All
Every restaurant is different. A solo-run café and a multi-location bistro group have very different needs — and they should not be paying for the same plan. Understanding what each subscription tier includes helps you make the right choice from day one and avoid paying for features you do not yet need (or missing ones you do).
Here is how to think about choosing a digital menu plan.
Start with the Free Plan If You Are Just Getting Started
The free plan is ideal if you want to see how a digital menu works in practice before committing. It gives you the core experience: create a menu, generate a QR code, and let guests browse on their phones.
Best for:
- New restaurants or pop-ups testing the concept
- Owners who want to try before they buy
- Very small venues with a simple, static menu
The free plan is not limited by a trial period — it is genuinely free, with no credit card required. You only upgrade when you need more.
Move to the Starter Plan When You Need Regular Updates
Once you start updating your menu regularly — seasonal dishes, price changes, daily specials — the Starter plan gives you everything you need to run a professional digital menu without friction.
Best for:
- Independent restaurants, cafés, and bars
- Venues that update their menu weekly or monthly
- Owners who want a polished, branded presentation
At this tier you get full menu management within Starter limits, QR codes for each published menu, multi-language support, customer reservations, menu statistics (scan trends and totals), product ratings, and priority support — which can save hours compared with juggling bookings only by phone.
Upgrade to Professional When You Want to Grow
The Professional plan is for restaurants that need higher limits (more menus and items) while keeping the same core product: digital menus, reservations, scan statistics, and ratings. Check the live pricing page for current caps on each tier.
Best for:
- Growing venues that outgrow Starter menu or item limits
- Operators who want headroom as they add locations or large menus
- Anyone who prefers the Professional tier bundle as published on the site
Both Starter and Professional include menu statistics and reservations in line with today's product; the main differences for most teams are limits and scale, not a separate "analytics-only" add-on.

Our Recommendation
For many independent restaurants, Starter is the right first upgrade: reservations, multi-language menus, scan statistics, and ratings — with menu and item limits spelled out on the pricing page.
If you are not sure, start free. You can upgrade at any time, and your menu and settings carry over instantly.
