Features
Everything your restaurant needs, in one QR code
MenuBeacon covers the whole guest journey — from the first scan to the final tip — with digital menus, table ordering, pay-at-table, a live kitchen dashboard, loyalty, and analytics. No app for guests, no hardware for you.
Ordering & payments
Guests order and pay without waiting for anyone
From the same QR code, guests add to cart, customize with modifiers, tip, split the bill, and pay right at the table — one tap with Apple Pay or Google Pay, or by card.
- Order from the phone browser with zero downloads
- Card payments at the table, powered by Stripe (Pro) — or cash on Free
- Tipping and split-bill built in
- Diner accounts with one-tap reorder of last order
Kitchen & floor

Orders flow to a live kitchen dashboard the moment guests confirm. Your team moves tickets while waiter calls and bill requests appear in real time.
- Live kitchen board with order statuses
- Waiter call and bill request buttons on every menu
- Staff accounts with PIN logins for your team (Pro)
- Manage multiple locations from one account (Pro)

Feature questions
What is included in a MenuBeacon digital menu?
Sections, items, prices, photos, descriptions, allergens, dietary tags, modifiers, pairings, scheduled menus, multi-language translations, and your branding — all editable from one dashboard.
Which features need the Pro plan?
Card payments at the table, loyalty stamp cards and gift cards, reservations, email/SMS campaigns, staff accounts with PINs, multi-location groups, AI/CSV menu import, webhooks/API/widget/POS sync, custom domain, receipt printing, advanced analytics, and removing the MenuBeacon branding are on Pro ($20/month).

Can MenuBeacon replace my POS?
MenuBeacon runs the guest-facing side: menus, ordering, and payment at the table. Many restaurants use it alongside their POS and connect the two with webhooks.
Does it work for cafés, bars, and food trucks?
Yes. Any venue where guests can scan a code works: restaurants, cafés, bars, hotels, food halls, and food trucks.
