Overview

MenuForma converts an existing menu – a PDF, a photo or a website link – into a QR code menu and an online ordering page. It handles pickup, delivery and dine-in, translates automatically into more than 70 languages, supports EU allergen labelling, collects Google reviews, manages multiple locations, reports views and sales, notifies staff of orders in real time, and runs a PIN-protected tablet ordering mode.

EU allergen labelling is the detail that shows this was built for restaurants rather than for an app store. Allergen declaration is a legal requirement across the EU with real liability behind it, and it is exactly the thing a generic QR menu generator ignores – leaving the restaurant to bolt it on badly or not at all. Pairing it with automatic translation covers the two hardest parts of serving tourists.

Startime Technology Co., Limited offers a free plan carrying the QR menu, online ordering, all 70-plus languages, allergen support, Google reviews and receipt printing, with the Regular plan at $9.90 a month billed annually adding pickup and delivery, custom images and QR codes, analytics, staff accounts, multiple restaurants and payments across 42 countries. Machine translation of a menu produces confident errors on dish names, allergen data is only as accurate as what the kitchen enters, and a free tier this generous invites a question about how the economics work.
