A Free Contactless Menu, From Reading to Paying

With a contactless menu from MenuForma, nobody passes a folder around. Guests open it on their own phone to browse, to order at their table or at the counter, or to order room service in a hotel. It stays free forever, with no card at sign-up and no app for guests.

Contactless menu questions

What is a contactless menu?

A contactless menu is a restaurant menu that guests open on their own phone instead of handling a shared printed copy. A QR code or a shared link takes them there, and on MenuForma it can go further and accept orders from tables, counters and hotel rooms.

Is a contactless menu free with MenuForma?

Yes. Free Forever includes one restaurant, one primary-language contactless menu and table, counter and room ordering. It has no end date and asks for no card. Regular is optional, for payments in the menu, more languages and delivery.

Do guests need to install anything?

Nothing at all: the menu loads in the phone's own browser. It does rely on a working internet connection, which is why a few paper menus and a helpful server should stay on hand.

Can guests pay without handing over a card?

Yes, two ways. In a hotel, rooms you have set up offer Charge to room on the free plan. With Regular, Pay Online takes the payment inside the menu via the Stripe account you link. MenuForma takes no commission on Stripe payments, but Stripe processing fees still apply.

Can the contactless menu take orders, or only show dishes?

Both. Display Only and Self-Select codes show the menu while staff take the order. Per-Table, Unified and Hotel codes let guests send orders themselves, all on the free plan.

Can I share the menu online as well as on tables?

Yes. Copy Link gives you the Menu URL for your website, booking confirmations and social profiles. On Regular you can also set the title, subtitle and image people see when the link is shared in messaging apps.

Can guests read it in their own language?

On Free Forever the menu appears in one Primary Language. Visitors from abroad get their own language on Regular, which drafts translations automatically; read them through, especially dish names and allergens, before publishing.

How are allergens shown?

Label each dish with what it contains using the 14 EU allergen categories; the 9 major US allergens can be marked as well. Labels inform rather than certify: the restaurant remains responsible for checking recipes and cross-contact, and anyone with an allergy should confirm with staff.

What do guests have to share?

Nothing to browse, and no account to order at a table, counter or room. A delivery order needs an address, so ask only for what your team needs and follow the privacy rules that apply to you.

Is a contactless menu a hygiene guarantee?

No. It removes the shared printed menu, but tables, cards and phones are still touched. Keep your usual cleaning routine; the menu simply means one less item passing between guests.
