The platform
Built for how restaurants actually work
From the first scan to the final tip — every part of service, covered.
Ordering & payments
Guests order and pay without waiting for anyone

Can guests pay at the table?
Yes. On Pro, guests pay from their phone — one tap with Apple Pay or Google Pay, or by card — with tipping and split-bill support. On Free, 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.
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.
Your next service could run on one scan.
Set up your menu, print your QR codes, and let the table do the talking. Free forever to start — no credit card required.
