How Much Does a Digital Menu Cost? The Complete Pricing Guide, No Fog

🇨🇿 Číst česky

From free to thousands per month, what a QR menu really costs, where competitors hide their fees, and what you genuinely get for free. Real numbers, no “contact sales”.

When a restaurateur researches digital menus, the first question is always the same — and the market's answers are always equally foggy: "price on request", "custom quote", "talk to sales". So here it is without the fog: what digital menus actually cost, our own prices included.

The three pricing models on the market

  • •One-off "PDF service": a designer typesets your menu into a PDF, you hang it behind a QR code. Costs 500–3,000 CZK per typeset — and again for every price change. The most expensive model; it just doesn't look like it upfront.
  • •Monthly platform: you manage the menu yourself, changes are instant and free. Czech market prices run from 0 to roughly 1,500 CZK per month depending on features.
  • •POS add-on: point-of-sale systems offer menus as a bolt-on. It works, but the menu is the last thing a POS company improves — and leaving the POS means losing your menu with it.

Where "affordable" prices hide their costs

Four places costs hide: a surcharge for every additional language (decisive for tourist-facing venues), item-count limits with an expensive next tier, a "setup fee", and export — if you can't get your data out of a platform, you're not paying for a service, you're paying for captivity.

Our prices, in public

ProMenu deliberately has a single paid plan, and the price is on the website, not "on request": Pro at 249 CZK per month per venue, with absolutely everything unlocked — 60 menu items, 13 languages with automatic translation, AI photo editing and AI import, scheduled lunch menus, watermark-free PDF, analytics and SEO dish pages. Every account starts with a free first month, no card required, and we build the menu for you — we get in touch as soon as you sign up. Venues running more than one location get a Franchise plan priced individually. No setup fee, no fixed-term contract.

Calculate payback, not price

249 CZK a month is about three and a half beers. Against that: zero reprint costs (a typical venue reprints menus 4–12 times a year, hundreds to thousands of crowns annually), higher spend from international guests who finally understand the menu, and time — a price change takes ten seconds from your phone instead of a weekend with a designer. For most venues the digital menu pays for itself with the first menu change.

When free is honestly enough

Honestly: a free month is enough to find out whether a digital menu suits you — on your own menu, not on a demo. We set it up with you, you print one QR code and let it live through a month of real service. If it does not fit, you pay nothing.
