There are always cons with every solution.
There are many QR menu options available. To ensure you find the right one for your venue, here is list of the best contactless menu services on the market.
I had some trouble with Bonee because their sample QR menu wasn’t working, but it lists solid features for customer ordering and customizable controls. Customers can schedule a precise pickup window or reserve ahead and be greeted with their food already at their table.
⊗ Cons
Orderlina provides a contactless QR menu solution for restaurants and hotels. While their focus is on contactless dine-in solutions, they also offer takeaway, curbside, and delivery options.
Their QR menu for contactless ordering includes:
Orderlina allows for photos and full descriptions of dishes with support for a wide variety of venues. The platform is flexible and can be used for any venue type, including restaurants, hotels, bars, food trucks, or events.
⊗ Cons
Quick Orders provide options for restaurants, hotels, and even large venues such as swimming pools and stadiums. Their website and menu app sometimes failed to load and I couldn’t get the multi-language feature to work.
⊗ Cons
Menulingua is a QR menu contactless ordering and payment system. It has a clean interface with many language options. It also claims to be able to boost Dazhong Dianping (Chinese TripAdvisor) ratings.
⊗ Cons
Eatsee has three membership levels, the lowest being free for restaurants who want to create their own menu. Additional features, such as professional photos, advertising, and analytics come with a paid plan. It requires you to log in with Facebook, which may be an issue for some large venues.
⊗ Cons
wMenu is geared toward large hotels and resorts that benefit from easy sub-menus such as bars, rooms, restaurants, pools, nightclubs, and general services. It provides a hotel guide for guests and real-time updates for conferences and events. If that’s needed, it’s pretty great.
⊗ Cons
FineDine has an app but we couldn’t get past the loading screen. From what we saw on the web, it is a gorgeous looking app with well-designed interfaces for upselling, cross-selling, order customization, and feedback.
SproutQR is a web-based QR menu solution for restaurants and hotels. They charge a monthly fee and provide the ability to upload the menu via an Excel sheet.
⊗ Cons
Not available on their website
Orderlina developed their own Hotel mobile concierge solution after receiving feedback from their hotel clients. Out of the box, Hotefy can provide a branded solution for room, beach and pool orders in addition to table ordering. Hotels can even grow their revenue by outsourcing F&B to local restaurants and by offering tours & wellness from their partners. Be sure to check out their explainer video on their site.
⊗ Cons
Pricing starts at $49 / month for a medium-sized hotel that wants a branded solution hosted on its own domain.
None of these QR menu solutions excels in every category. If you have a large resort, give Hotefy or wMenu a try. If you are looking for the best overall QR menu for restaurants and hotels that’s also quick and free to set up, try Orderlina. If you want an in-restaurant menu and nothing else, go with FineDine.
