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, online ordering for pickup and delivery, loyalty stamp cards and gift cards, reservations, guest CRM, staff accounts with PINs, multi-location groups, AI menu import from a photo or PDF, CSV menu import, webhooks, the public menu API, widget embeds, advanced analytics, removing the MenuBeacon branding, and early access to Zuzu are on Pro ($20/month).

Can MenuBeacon replace my POS?
MenuBeacon runs menus, ordering, payment, and kitchen status, but it does not claim full two-way POS replacement or synchronization. Supported webhooks can send restaurant events to other systems. MenuBeacon does not sync orders or menus with a POS.
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.
