See it working
From the table to the kitchen in seconds
A real order in the MenuBeacon demo restaurant, recorded on the guest's phone and the kitchen screen at the same time. Then open the same menu on your own phone and place one yourself.
The kitchen sees it at once
Each order arrives on the kitchen screen with its table number. One tap moves it from received to preparing to ready.
Guests follow the order and pay
They watch the order status on their phone. Cash or pay at the counter on Free, card from the phone on Pro.
Order from the demo menu Open the owner dashboard demo
The demo is a shared example restaurant. Payments in it are simulated and its data resets every few hours.
Free setup
Send us your menu. We set it up for you in 48 hours. Free.

48 hours from when we receive a menu we can read. Setup is free on every plan and you stay on Free unless you choose Pro. QR cards are sent as a print-ready PDF.

Table ordering
Guests order from the menu on their phone while staff help with questions and service.

Questions before the first table
Clear answers, before you sign up
Do guests need to download an app?
No. They scan the QR code with their phone camera and the menu opens in the browser.
Can I update my menu after printing QR codes?
Yes. Ordinary menu edits publish through the same printed table QR codes; deleting or deliberately rotating a code is a separate action.
What does the free plan include?
3 menus with unlimited items, 20 table QR codes, 5,000 scans/month, item photos, your branding, table ordering, a live kitchen dashboard, and cash or pay-at-counter orders — free forever.
What do I get with Pro?
Card and wallet payments at the table, online ordering for pickup and delivery, loyalty & gift cards, reservations, staff accounts with PINs, multi-location, AI menu import, integrations, white-label, and early access to Zuzu. $20/month, no commission, cancel anytime.
Can guests pay at the table?
Yes, on Pro in the US, UK, and EU editions. The restaurant connects its own Stripe account for card payments, tips, and equal bill splitting; standard Stripe fees apply. Apple Pay and Google Pay show up when the guest’s device and browser allow them. On Free, and in the Pakistan edition, guests order from the table and pay cash or at the counter.
Can I try MenuBeacon before signing up?
Yes. Open the live demo from the “Live demo” link at the top of this site: it signs you straight into a fully set-up demo restaurant with menus, table QR codes, live orders, reservations, and analytics. It is shared with other visitors and resets every few hours, and guest payments in it are simulated, so nothing you do there is billed or sent anywhere.
What is Zuzu, and can every account use it?
Zuzu is MenuBeacon’s restricted restaurant AI assistant. It can answer operational questions and use allowlisted MenuBeacon tools within the signed-in restaurant’s permissions. Zuzu is in early access for Pro restaurants and is being switched on in stages. It is turned off in the shared public demo.
Can I use my own branding?
Yes, on every plan. Set your logo, colors, and cover image so guests see a menu that looks like your restaurant — not a generic template.
Will you set up my menu for me?
Yes, free of charge on every plan. Email a photo or PDF of your menu to support@menubeacon.com, or write to us through the contact page and attach it to our reply. Within 48 hours of receiving a menu we can read, we build your digital menu, send it to you to check, and send printable QR cards for your tables as a PDF. Please check prices, allergens, and dietary details yourself before you publish: you know your kitchen, we only see the menu.
Does MenuBeacon work with my POS or till?
MenuBeacon runs alongside your till; it does not replace it or sync with it. Orders, the kitchen board, and payments work on their own in MenuBeacon. On Pro, signed webhooks can send order events to other systems. There is no POS connection at the moment.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. Free costs nothing and never expires. If you upgrade to Pro and it is not right for your restaurant, email support@menubeacon.com within 30 days of your first Pro payment and we refund it.
