How Much Does a QR Code Menu Cost?
A digital QR menu is priced as a monthly subscription rather than a one-time print job. Here's what's actually included at each level, and how it stacks up against reprinting a physical menu.
MenuHub pricing at a glance
- Basic - $7/month: unlimited categories and products, with an automatically generated QR code.
- Pro - $19/month: everything in Basic, plus table-side ordering, loyalty points, and promo codes.
- Business - $39/month: everything in Pro, plus sales statistics and staff accounts with admin/employee permissions.
Every plan includes a 30-day free trial, so you can set up your full menu before paying anything.
What drives the cost of a printed menu
A printed menu looks cheaper upfront, but the real cost shows up over time: a price change, a seasonal dish, or a supplier shortage means a reprint - design time, printing costs, and menus that are wrong until the new batch arrives. Multiply that by however many times a year your prices or dishes change.
What you're actually paying for
The subscription isn't just hosting a PDF online. It covers the QR code generation, unlimited menu edits with no reprinting cost, dietary labels, and - on the higher plans - order management and sales reporting that a printed menu simply can't provide.
Which plan should you pick?
If you just want to replace a printed menu with something always up to date, Basic covers it. If customers should be able to order directly from the table without waving down a server, Pro is the natural fit. If you're running a busier operation with staff accounts and want to see which dishes actually sell, Business adds the reporting layer on top.
