“Setup took less than an hour. My customers love scanning the QR code and we no longer print menus. Saved us a lot on printing costs.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Is QR Menu Generator better than Menubly?
Both have a free plan and both start near $10 a month. The difference is allergen labelling: we tag the 14 allergens from EU Regulation 1169/2011 on every dish, and Menubly does not list allergen tagging among its features. For EU restaurants, that is the deciding factor.
Does QR Menu Generator have a free plan?
Yes, and it is permanent, not a trial. The free plan covers 1 restaurant, 5 categories, 20 menu items and 10,000 monthly views, with QR code generation and a live digital menu. No card required. Allergen tagging starts on Pro.
Which QR menu tools support EU allergen laws?
Of the tools compared here, QR Menu Generator and NordQR both offer allergen tagging — NordQR on its paid plans, QR Menu Generator on Pro and above. Menubly and MenuTiger do not list allergen tagging in their published feature lists.
How does QR Menu Generator compare to MenuTiger?
MenuTiger's Regular plan is $17 a month for unlimited items and up to 2 stores. QR Menu Generator starts at $9.90 and adds tagging for the 14 EU allergens, which MenuTiger does not list. For EU restaurants that need allergen labelling, we are the better fit.
What is the cheapest QR menu app for restaurants?
On monthly billing, NordQR's Lite plan is cheapest at €7, then QR Menu Generator at $9.90, Menubly at $9.99 and MenuTiger at $17. All four have a free tier, so the real question is what you need — for allergen labelling that means QR Menu Generator or NordQR.
