No contracts
Month to month. Upgrade to Pro or cancel from your dashboard whenever you like; you are not charged again after you cancel, and Free keeps working either way.
No commission
One flat monthly price. We never take a percentage of your orders or tips.
Keep your setup when you downgrade
Moving to Free pauses Pro features without deleting your underlying setup or restaurant customer records. If you delete your account, the published retention terms apply.
Pricing questions
Is Free really free?
Yes. No trial clock, no credit card. Free includes menus, photos, branding, table ordering, the kitchen dashboard, and cash orders for as long as you like.
Is there a free trial of Pro?
You do not need one. Free is a full product with no expiry, and Pro is month to month with a 30-day money-back guarantee: if it is not right for your restaurant, email us within 30 days of your first Pro payment and we refund it.
What is only in 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. Plus the highest limits: unlimited menus, 200 table QR codes, and 50,000 scans a month.
Does MenuBeacon take a cut of my orders?
No. Pro is a flat monthly fee with no per-order commission. Only standard Stripe processing fees apply if you enable card payments.
Can I switch between Free and Pro?
Yes. Upgrade from your dashboard and Pro features switch on straight away. Cancel any time from the billing page and you are not charged again; your restaurant then continues on Free.
What happens if I cancel Pro?
You go back to Free. Menus, QR codes, ordering, and the kitchen dashboard keep working. Staff PINs you already created keep working too. Other Pro-only features pause and your data is preserved.
What currency are prices in?
Pro is $20 a month in US dollars. The Pakistan edition is priced in PKR: Pro is Rs 5,000 a month, billed locally. For guest payments, the restaurant chooses from the currencies its country edition and Stripe account allow.
