Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 6 of the 37 other QR code generators we grade
Menu Tiger is a restaurant management system built around QR code menus: guests scan a code at the table, order and pay, and the order lands in a dashboard. Higher plans add a point of sale, a kitchen display system and table management. It says it charges no commission on orders.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Menu Tiger, taken from its own pages and our grades.
A busy restaurant will end up well above the entry price.
- 1
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at $17 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $17 per month, billed monthly.
- 3
There is a free plan
75 orders a month and 1 store, with QR code ordering, online ordering, an AI menu builder and basic reports.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
QR code ordering
Guests scan a code at the table to order and pay; the QR codes can carry the restaurant's logo and frame colors.
- 6
AI menu builder
Turns a physical menu into a digital one, and menus can be translated into other languages.
- 7
POS and printers
A cloud POS with receipt and kitchen printer management. It is included on Premium and a paid add-on on Regular and Advanced.
- 8
A 2.0 GPA, above 6 of 37
That is against the other QR code generators we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Paid 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. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free plan with 1 store and 75 orders a month. A restaurant with real traffic passes 75 orders in a few days. |
| Features | C | QR 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. |
| Ease of use | C | A web app where you build the menu yourself, and no store rating is on record. Expect to set up items, tables and printers first. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no integrations listed. Everything runs in a browser. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Restaurants and cafes that want table-side QR ordering without commissions
- Small venues starting on the free plan and adding a POS or kitchen screens later
Worth knowing
- The Free plan stops at 75 orders a month; Regular at 500 and Advanced at 2,000.
- The built-in POS costs $30 a month and printer management $20 a month on Regular and Advanced; Premium includes both.
- The kitchen display system needs Advanced and table management needs Premium.
- The pricing page's embedded data lists different order and store limits from the visible page; the visible page is used here.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
