About

MenuForma is a web-based platform that lets food businesses turn an existing menu — a PDF, a photo, or a website link — into a digital QR code menu with optional online ordering for dine-in, pickup, takeaway, and delivery. It addresses a common pain point for restaurants: printed menus go out of date quickly, and building a digital ordering setup usually requires developers or third-party apps that customers must download.

The process works in three steps: a business uploads its menu, MenuForma uses AI to extract dishes, prices, and descriptions into an editable digital menu, and the owner then shares the generated QR code and link with guests. The menu can be automatically translated into more than 70 languages, and orders, payments via Stripe, and Google review requests flow back to the restaurant. MenuForma serves restaurants, cafes, food trucks, hotels, and bars, and no coding or customer app install is required.

Key Features

AI menu generation: Upload a PDF, photo, spreadsheet, or URL and MenuForma extracts dishes, prices, and descriptions into an editable menu, which the owner reviews before publishing.
QR code online ordering: Guests scan a code and place dine-in, pickup, takeaway, or delivery orders, with online payments processed through Stripe.
Multiple QR code modes: Options include per-table codes with automatic table-number tagging, a unified venue code, per-room hotel codes for room service, a PIN-protected tablet mode, a self-select mode where guests show choices to staff, and a display-only mode.
Multilingual menus: Menus are automatically translated into more than 70 languages, with support for 153 currencies.
EU allergen labels: Allergen information can be displayed on the menu to help meet EU menu compliance requirements.
Google review collection: After a customer orders, MenuForma can prompt them to leave a Google review.
Operations tools: Includes a kitchen display system, real-time order alerts across devices, receipt printing on ESC/POS thermal printers, staff role management, analytics on menu visits and popular dishes, and multi-location management from one account.

Who It's For

MenuForma is aimed at independent restaurants, cafes, bars, food trucks, and hotels that want a digital menu and ordering channel without building software. Restaurant owners can replace printed menus with an always-current QR menu, counter-service venues can use a unified code with customer order numbers, hotels can offer QR-based room service with scheduled delivery, and window displays or social media can use the view-only mode. Multi-location operators can manage several venues from a single account.
