Photos that move guests toward your highest-margin cocktails, Big 9 allergen tags across your full drink and food menu, and happy hour pricing that switches itself on and off.
Why bars choose MenuIQ
Your cocktail program is worth more than a name and a price on a printed list. MenuIQ gives every drink and dish a photo, Big 9 allergen tags down to the specific ingredient, dietary labels, and a QR code that lets guests browse the full menu from their seat. Happy hour pricing toggles on and off in one click, and guests can filter your cocktail list by spirit, style, or dietary restriction. Upload a photo of your menu and you're live in under two minutes, starting at $10 a month.

What MenuIQ does for bars
Photos that sell your highest-margin cocktails
Add photos to signature cocktails and elevated small plates and feature them at the top of your digital menu.
Big 9 allergens auto-tagged across every item
Upload a menu photo and allergen tags are extracted in under two minutes — cocktails and food menu, same process, no spreadsheet.
Happy hour pricing, on and off with one toggle
Flip any menu into happy hour mode and items display their discounted price. Turn it off when the window closes — regular pricing returns automatically.
Filter by spirit, style, or dietary preference
Guests browse your cocktail list by base spirit, drink type, or allergen — and find what they want without scanning the entire menu.
Upload a photo, live in two minutes
AI extracts items, descriptions, prices, and allergen tags from a photo of your current menu. Review, confirm, publish.
Auto-translated menus for international guests
The same QR code serves your menu in each guest's language — no extra setup, no printed translations behind the bar.
Guest experience
The photo sells the cocktail before the bartender says a word.
Add a photo to any drink or dish and feature it at the top of your digital menu. The guest who was going to order a beer sees the espresso martini and decides on the spot — no pitch from the bartender required. The same goes for your food menu: a photo of the charcuterie board or the truffle fries moves small plate orders without a staff recommendation.
Guests know what they want before they flag down the bartender.
A QR code at the bar or on a table tent lets guests browse your full cocktail and food menu — photos, tasting notes, allergen filters — on their phone. They can filter by spirit, by drink style, or by dietary restriction and land on exactly the right order. When they're ready, the bartender already knows what to make. On a busy Friday night, that's the difference between turning the bar and losing the guest.
With MenuIQ
A digital menu with photos of every cocktail and dish, allergen and dietary labels guests can filter on their phone, source-level allergen attribution on every item, and happy hour pricing that toggles on and off from your phone.
Without MenuIQ
A printed cocktail list that can't show a guest what the drinks look like, no way for someone with a tree nut allergy to know which cocktails use amaretto or orgeat, and happy hour pricing managed by swapping out printed menus.
Allergens
Allergens tagged to the ingredient, not just the drink.
MenuIQ tags each allergen to its specific source — "egg: egg white in the whiskey sour, tree nut: orgeat in the mai tai, dairy: cream in the White Russian." Guests with allergies see exactly where the allergen lives and whether a substitution works for them, without pulling the bartender into a five-minute conversation during the rush.
Menu management
Cocktails, small plates, wine — all from one account.
Run a cocktail menu, a food menu, and a wine and beer list from the same account — each with its own items, pricing, and allergen tags. Update the cocktail list without touching the food menu, or launch a seasonal menu alongside your core program. One login, everything in one place.
You expected this to take a weekend. It takes two minutes.
Upload a photo or PDF of your current menu. MenuIQ extracts every item, description, price, and starting allergen tag automatically. Review what the AI found, confirm, and publish — your digital menu is live before the evening service.
$10 per month
