Cafes & Coffee Shops
Photos on your best items, dietary labels on every pastry, and scheduling that handles the morning-to-afternoon transition automatically.
How MenuIQ fits your cafe
Cafes run more menu versions than any other operator — morning card, afternoon card, seasonal insert, happy hour pricing. MenuIQ replaces the stack with one account: a QR menu with photos on featured items, allergen and dietary labels customers can read before they order, morning-to-afternoon scheduling that runs automatically, and promo pricing you flip on for the cold brew rush. Starting at $10 a month.

What MenuIQ does for cafes
Featured items with photos
Add photos to high-margin items and place them in a Featured Specials course at the top of your QR menu.
Allergen and dietary labels on everything
Big 9 allergens plus vegan and vegetarian tags on every item — visible before customers order or ask.
Morning menu, afternoon menu — on schedule
Each menu runs its own hours. Breakfast hands off to lunch automatically — no one needs to remember to switch.
Seasonal specials without a reprint
Update your menu and publish in under two minutes. Seasonal items come back next year with one click.
Happy hour pricing in one toggle
Turn promo pricing on for the cold brew rush and off when it ends — no new menu, no duplicate items.
One login, every location
Run two cafes or ten from one account, each with its own menu, schedule, and allergen tags.
Guest experience
High-margin items get a photo and a featured spot on your menu.
Add a photo to any item and place it in a Featured Specials course — it appears at the top of the QR menu, the first thing every customer sees when they scan. Items with photos drive more orders.
Customers browse the full menu before they reach the counter.
A QR sticker at the door lets customers filter by dietary preference, read descriptions, and decide before they reach you. The morning rush moves faster because ordering decisions happen in line, not at the register.
With MenuIQ
A live QR menu with photos on featured items, allergen and dietary labels on every item, and morning-to-afternoon scheduling that runs automatically. Seasonal specials published without reprinting. Promo pricing on with a toggle. A menu that matches the quality of the rest of your shop.
Without MenuIQ
A printed menu that's out of date the day you add a new latte. No photos. Allergen questions — especially around milk alternatives — slow the counter. Seasonal launches mean a reprint. Happy hour pricing requires manually rebuilding the menu.
Allergens
Every milk alternative is labeled so customers know what's in their drink.
MenuIQ tags allergens and dietary labels across every item, including which ingredient is the source — so "almond milk" appears as the reason for a tree nut flag, not just a generic allergen icon. Customers with allergies get a clear answer before they order.
Menu management
Seasonal items come back next year without a rebuild.
Items you remove from the active menu stay in your account — photo, allergen tags, and description intact — ready to reactivate next season with one click. New seasonal items get extracted from a photo in under two minutes.
Morning menu until 11. Afternoon menu after. No one has to manage the switch.
Build a morning and afternoon menu, each on its own schedule, and the QR menu transitions between them automatically. Your team runs the counter — the menu handles the rest.
Two locations, one menu standard. Ten locations, still the same.
Manage every location from one account, each with its own menu, schedule, and allergen tags. Update the seasonal menu at one location and clone it to the others — no rebuilding required.
$10 per month
