What square.menu is
square.menu gives restaurants and cafes a web dashboard for publishing digital menus that guests can open by QR code or direct link. Businesses can update items, prices, availability, and menu details, with changes reflected on the live menu. Menu entries can include ingredients, allergens, calories, and notes, and the site advertises a multi-language experience. Sharing options include table QR codes and links placed in Instagram bios, Google Maps listings, and WhatsApp. The maker says menus can be edited from a phone, tablet, or laptop without installing an app. The Free plan costs nothing and includes one menu, up to 25 products, up to three categories, QR sharing, and square.menu branding. Starter costs $59 a year. Pro costs $149 a year and includes an online order channel, custom subdomain, website embed, and advanced customization. Pro and Business plans support delivery or pickup orders without a guest account, but the current ordering phase does not collect guest payment; staff follow up from the dashboard. Business plans add branch-specific menus, pricing and availability, and team access.
