Free QR menu for restaurants and cafés

What is a QR menu?

A QR menu is a digital menu that opens in the guest's phone browser when they point the camera at a QR code on the table. The guest sees categories, dishes, photos, prices, and diet and allergen tags without installing an app. The owner edits the menu online, and the printed QR code on the table stays the same. For more detail, read our guide what is a QR menu.

What the free QR menu includes

The free package for restaurants and cafés is called Basic QR, and it works in any country. Basic QR is always free, with no time limit. Sign-up is free, no card needed. This is what it includes:

• A digital menu with a cart. Guests browse categories, dishes, photos and prices on their phones and put dishes in a cart. In the free package the cart is not sent to the kitchen: the guest shows it to the waiter, who takes the order as usual. Orders that go straight to the kitchen are part of the paid Growth package.
• Table games. Bomb, wheel, duel, cards and trivia, played together on the guests' phones at every table. You can switch them off in Settings.
• Categories and dishes. Up to 1000 dishes and 100 categories per restaurant.
• One photo per dish, plus sizes and options with their own prices, for example a small and a large portion, or a drink with syrup.
• Prices in your own currency. You choose the currency your menu shows, for example euros €, pounds £, US dollars $, Turkish lira ₺ or Azerbaijani manat ₼, and guests see every price in it.
• Diet and allergen tags on each dish, so guests can check a dish without asking the waiter.
• A sold-out switch. The dish stays on the menu, marked as sold out.
• 16 menu designs, plus your logo and a cover photo.
• A separate signed QR code for every table.
• One QR code for the whole venue for the door, the window or Instagram. It opens your public menu page.
• A print sheet with 16 card templates in 3 sizes: an A4 sticker sheet with 6 codes, an A5 folding table tent and an A6 card. QR styles can carry your logo in the middle.
• A menu in English, Russian and Azerbaijani. It opens in the language of the guest's phone when that is one of the three, otherwise in English, and there is a language switch.
• Search and filters for guests: available now, diet tags and kids menu.
• One staff account, for the owner.

Table codes and the venue code do different jobs. Table codes sit on the tables, one per table. The venue code is for places where people look at the menu before they sit down: the entrance, the window or your Instagram profile.

Every menu shows a small 'Menu by moymenyu' line, and the printed cards carry the moymenyu.com wordmark. This is the same on every package.

What the paid packages add

Paid packages are about orders and the team, not about the menu itself. They are available to venues in any country and invoiced in Azerbaijani manat (1 USD = 1.70 ₼); the free menu works everywhere too. Growth costs $7 per month and adds:

• guests' orders going straight from the table to the kitchen
• a kitchen screen for incoming orders
• order tickets on 58 mm and 80 mm thermal printers
• Moymenyu Desk, a POS app for Windows
• unlimited staff accounts
• sales reports
• the bill-split view

Full Kitchen costs $12 per month and adds online card payment. Online card payment is not live yet, so for now the practical choice is between Basic QR and Growth.

Create your QR menu in 3 steps

You do not need a designer or a developer to set up a free QR menu. Prepare your current menu (on paper or as a list) and, if you have them, your logo and a cover photo. The full walkthrough is in our guide how to make a QR code menu; here is the short version:

1. Sign up free, from any country. On the sign-up page, enter your restaurant name, your city, your name and a phone number with its country code. Sign-up is free, no card needed.
2. Add your menu. There are three ways: type the dishes, paste a text list you already have, or take a photo of your paper menu. From a photo, the AI reads the dishes and prices, and you check the result before saving. The first AI scan is free. In Settings, choose the currency your menu shows; the default is the Azerbaijani manat.
3. Print and place the QR codes. Pick a size on the print sheet (an A4 sticker sheet with 6 codes, an A5 folding table tent or an A6 card), print the table cards or the one venue QR code, and put them on the tables.

A menu in English, Russian and Azerbaijani

Guests do not all read the same language. Visitors from abroad often look for English; in Azerbaijan, for example, local guests may prefer Azerbaijani or Russian. A digital menu in three languages means the waiter does not have to translate every dish at the table.

In Moymenyu, one menu holds all three languages. You fill in the dish names for each language yourself. One name and a price are enough to start; the other languages are optional. If a translation is left empty, guests see the first (main) name in its place.

You do not have to fill in every translation at once. You can start with one name per dish and add the other languages later. For example, if 'Lentil soup' has a price but no Russian name yet, a guest whose phone is set to Russian still sees the dish, under its main name.

When a guest scans the QR code, the menu opens in the language of their phone if it is English, Russian or Azerbaijani, and in English for any other phone language. A language switch on the menu lets them change it at any time.

Nothing is translated automatically, except by the AI photo scan. When you photograph a paper menu, the AI reads the printed dishes and prices, then adds the other two languages and a short description. You check the result and correct it before saving.

The AI photo scan works on every package. The first scan for each restaurant is free; later scans cost 1 credit each, and credits are paid.

Change prices without reprinting the QR code

Prices change, new dishes appear, and some evenings the kitchen runs out of something. With a paper menu, each change means a new print run. With a QR menu, you make the change in your Moymenyu account, and the QR code on the table stays the same.

New prices, new dishes and sold-out marks show the next time a guest opens or refreshes the menu. There are no new cards to print and no old menus to collect from the tables.

The sold-out switch is for the moment a dish runs out. The dish stays visible with a sold-out mark, so guests can see it is not available before they call the waiter. When the dish is back, switch the sold-out mark off.

Everyday edits that no longer need a reprint:

• a new price after your supplier changes theirs
• a seasonal dish added to a category
• a dish marked as sold out for the evening
• a new photo for a dish
• a corrected allergen tag

QR menu vs PDF menu vs paper menu

A PDF menu is a file that a QR code opens; a paper menu is printed and handed to guests. Here is how the three compare in daily work:

Paper still has its place, for example for a guest without a phone. You can keep a few printed copies and put a QR code on every table. If your menu is a PDF today, you can paste its text as a list or photograph the printed version. For a longer comparison, read QR menu vs PDF menu.

Who it is for

Moymenyu is made for places that serve food and drinks, in any city and any country:

• Restaurants with a long menu: a QR code menu for restaurants with categories, photos and portion sizes.
• Cafés where the menu changes often and reprinting it every time is not practical.
• Coffee shops with drink sizes and options, each with its own price.
• Tea houses with tea, sweets and snacks. In a çayxana in Azerbaijan, for example, regulars may read the menu in Azerbaijani or Russian and visitors in English.
• Bars where the drinks list changes and the sold-out switch helps on busy nights.
• Hotel restaurants with guests from many countries: the menu opens in English, Russian or Azerbaijani to match the guest's phone, and in English for any other phone language.

The setup is the same everywhere: at sign-up you enter your city and a phone number with its country code, and in Settings you choose the currency your menu shows. Guests open the menu on iPhone and Android.

Prices

Basic QR costs $0 per month, with no time limit, in any country. The paid packages, Growth at $7 and Full Kitchen at $12 per restaurant per month, are available to venues in any country too and invoiced in Azerbaijani manat at 1 USD = 1.70 ₼, so Growth comes to about 11.90 ₼ a month. On Basic QR your menu shows prices in the currency you choose; on the paid packages they are in manat.

Basic QR is free in every country. The paid packages are available to venues in any country too; they are invoiced in manat (1 USD = 1.70 ₼).

Want orders to go straight to the kitchen?

The free package gives guests the menu and a cart: they show the cart to the waiter, who takes the order as usual. If you want guests to send orders from their phones straight to the kitchen, that is the Growth package, at $7 per month (about 11.90 ₼), available to venues in any country.

With Growth, guests order from the table, orders appear on the kitchen screen and can print as tickets on 58 mm or 80 mm thermal printers. Growth also includes Moymenyu Desk POS for Windows, unlimited staff accounts for waiters and cooks, sales reports and the bill-split view.

If the waiter taking the order works for you, Basic QR is enough, wherever you are. Any venue can start with the free QR menu and move to Growth when it wants orders to go straight to the kitchen. For questions about the packages, call +994 51 555 55 34 or see the Moymenyu homepage.
