QR code menus and ordering for restaurants, with POS and kitchen
Black Friday: is there a Menu Tiger sale?
Menu Tiger report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for QR code menus for a single restaurant
Menu Tiger lets guests scan a table code, order and pay, with no commission on orders. But the free plan stops at 75 orders a month, the POS is a $30 add-on on the middle plans, and the kitchen screen and table management sit on plans at $46 and $119. A busy restaurant will end up well above the entry price.
Who Menu Tiger is for
- Fits if you run one restaurant and orders stay under 75 a month
- Makes sense if you want table ordering without a per-order commission
Who Menu Tiger is not for
- Tight if you take more than 75 orders a month, as the free plan stops there
- Pricey if you need a POS and printers, which add $30 and $20 a month on the middle plans
- Not for you if you need a kitchen display on a small budget, as it starts on the $46 plan
- Watch out: table management and the custom domain are Premium only, at $119 a month
- Skip it if you want listed integrations, since none are on record
Why Menu Tiger gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyPaid plans start at $17 a month, between the $12 middle and the $25 dearer quarter for this category. The POS adds $30 and printers $20 on top.
- CFree plan and trialA free plan with 1 store and 75 orders a month. A restaurant with real traffic passes 75 orders in a few days.
- CFeaturesQR ordering, online ordering, reports, POS and a kitchen display. The kitchen display needs Advanced and table management needs Premium, and the listing flags mismatched limits on the pricing page.
- CEase of useA web app where you build the menu yourself, and no store rating is on record. Expect to set up items, tables and printers first.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no integrations listed. Everything runs in a browser.

Keep Menu Tiger, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Menu Tiger you would be making checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 26 of the 37 other QR code generators grade higher. It costs $204 a year.
What you could make
- QR codes and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
What this rests on. Menu Tiger’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
