Free QR Code Menu for Restaurants in India: What You Actually Get
The short answer
With ART by armenu.art, your QR code menu is free for the first month and you don't need a credit card to start. After the first month, plans run from ₹199 to ₹1,199 a month, excluding 18% GST. There is no commission on your orders and no lock-in.
What "free" should include
Many "free" QR menus are a QR code that opens a PDF. That works, but guests have to pinch and zoom, and every price change means editing and uploading the file again. Before you pick a free QR menu, check that it gives you:
- A menu built for phone screens, not an A4 PDF squeezed onto one.
- Instant updates, so a price change or a sold-out dish shows straight away.
- Unlimited QR codes, one for each table or hotel room.
- No app download for guests. ART opens in Safari on iPhone and Chrome on Android.
- No credit card at sign-up, so you are not charged by accident when the free period ends.
What ART costs after the free month
Every plan includes unlimited menu items, unlimited photos and unlimited table and room QR codes. The plans differ in how dishes are shown:
- Starter, ₹199 a month: a simple scrolling menu, two dishes per row, each with a picture.
- Swipe Full Screen, ₹499 a month: a full-screen swipe menu.
- Swipe and Video, ₹799 a month: the swipe menu with 10 dish videos and 5 dishes in 3D AR.
- Unlimited Videos, ₹999 a month: unlimited dish videos and 10 dishes in 3D AR.
- Ultimate, ₹1,199 a month: unlimited videos and AR dishes, on-site support and assisted menu setup.
