QR menus and restaurant ordering for UK venues
Keep menus, table orders, kitchen status, direct ordering, and eligible online payment in one browser-based flow configured for GBP and UK restaurant operations.
UK restaurant menus and orders use GBP. Online payments require Pro, a connected and onboarded restaurant Stripe account, and enabled payment settings.
Illustrative workflow · Product behaviour described on this page
GBP menu and order totals
Guest prices, bills, refunds, deposits, and restaurant reports use pounds.
Restaurant receipt details
Configured seller details and registration information carry into supported receipt flows.
Eligible Stripe methods
Cards and eligible wallets can appear after the restaurant completes its own onboarding.
The operational problem
A digital order still needs the right currency, time, and seller
A UK venue should not have to correct dollar defaults or ambiguous payment ownership. MenuBeacon creates the restaurant with GBP, Europe/London time, and UK market capabilities.
What changes
A connected flow with UK context built in
The restaurant controls the menu and remains the seller. Eligible online charges use its connected Stripe account, while VAT registration and tax choices remain with the restaurant and its advisers.

Straight answers
MenuBeacon United Kingdom questions
Does the UK version use pounds?
Yes. New UK restaurants use GBP for menu prices, orders, bills, and restaurant reporting.
Can guests use Apple Pay or Google Pay?
Eligible wallets may appear for a Pro restaurant after its own Stripe account is connected and onboarded. Availability also depends on the guest device, browser, domain, and wallet eligibility.
Does MenuBeacon make my restaurant VAT compliant?
MenuBeacon does not make that legal claim. The restaurant remains responsible for VAT registration, configuration, filing, and payment, with advice from its own advisers.
Are table ordering and the kitchen board only on Pro?
No. Current Free access includes table ordering and the browser-based kitchen dashboard. Pro adds eligible payments and other growth and team tools.
