A Paris bistro is chosen on the way home: is the kitchen still open, what is the plat du jour, are you closed for the August. The two apps that answer that for a customer are the two that take 25 to 35% of the ticket when they deliver it — and neither publishes a French rate card. Meanwhile the ardoise on the wall already carries the price the customer pays, VAT and service included, because in France that is the law. We build the page, the menu and the table QR for €45 to €185, once, so the regular who already knows your cooking has somewhere to check before walking in.
Three things come up in almost every conversation we have with Paris owners. None of them is a design problem.
Neither Uber Eats nor Deliveroo publishes a French rate card: the ranges quoted to restaurants are 25 to 35% when the platform delivers, and a written question tabled at the Assemblée nationale in February 2026 put commissions at up to 30 to 35%. On €60,000 of delivered orders a year, 30% is €18,000. The page is where a regular who already knows the bistro reads the menu and calls — the orders that never reach the app keep the whole ticket, and there is no tablet to rent.
A French menu price includes VAT and service: the number on the ardoise is the number the customer pays, and that is what the law requires. A page that adds tax at the end of a checkout reads as a foreign one, and a Parisian notices. The menu we build prints your price once, the way the board does — 20% VAT inside it, not on top.
A Paris room is decided on the walk home, and the three things that decide it change by the day: what the plat du jour is, whether the kitchen is still serving at 22:15, whether you shut for the August. A PDF from last spring answers none of them. You change the line yourself in a minute, and the QR on the table, the one taped to the window and the link in the bio all open the same menu.
Not a template you fill in. We take your hours, prices and photos, build each piece, and hand back a live link that works for a table of two on a Tuesday at eight and the family that wants to read the menu before booking Sunday lunch.
One form, five minutes. Delivery target is one business day from the moment we have your details, hours, menu and photos.
The fastest way to judge this is to open one. This is a sample built from a public listing, so the phone, address and hours are the shop's own.
Not a customer site. See the standard layout we deliver →
Le Marais and Saint-Germain rooms, Bastille and Oberkampf bars, the Canal Saint-Martin and Batignolles neighbourhood kitchens, Belleville and Ménilmontant tables, Montmartre and Pigalle terraces, and the boulangeries of the Quartier Latin and Charonne.
Not on the list? It does not matter — everything is built remotely and delivered as a link and files, so the neighbourhood changes the words, not the price.
Software and hardware only, before card processing and tax. These vendors publish in US dollars, so each line carries the vendor's own US list with the € conversion underneath at €1 = US$1.08, read 11 November 2026 — a comparison, not a euro quote. Run your own volume through the calculator if the per-order fees matter more than the subscription.

Toast: Core at $219/mo plus a $1,153 countertop kit on a two-year term. BentoBox: no published price since the Clover fold-in, so the last list is used. Owner.com: $5,000/mo of online orders. Slice: 600 orders a month, a busy pizzeria's volume. Popmenu's $1.00 an order and Owner.com's 5% are the lines that scale with the till. The € figure under each price is that US list converted at €1 = US$1.08 for comparison — a vendor selling here may publish its own euro list, often with a different module split — and VAT plus card processing sit on top of whichever contract you sign. We take no orders and process nothing.
Nothing here is a subscription, and nothing renews. Pick the link if that is all you need; pick the Local Pack if customers keep asking for the menu.
One page, one business day.

Prices are charged in US dollars by Polar Software, Inc. at checkout. €45, €185 and €460 are the prices we set for the euro market — within a euro or two of a straight conversion of US$49, US$199 and US$499 at about €1 = US$1.08 — and your bank may add its own conversion fee. Where VAT applies to your purchase, the French standard rate is 20% and the amount is calculated and shown on the checkout page before you pay; whether your business accounts for it under the reverse charge is a question for your accountant, not us.
Payment is taken by Polar Software, Inc., our merchant of record, on their checkout page — we never see your card. By ordering you agree to our terms and refund policy. One round of edits is included; the files are yours to keep and reprint.
Each of the eleven has its own page, with its own price ladder, contract terms and three-year arithmetic.
A place for the customers who already know you. Neither platform publishes a French rate card — the quoted range is 25 to 35% when the platform delivers, and the February 2026 written question at the Assemblée nationale cites up to 30 to 35% — so 30% of €60,000 a year is €18,000, or about 97 Local Packs. The page is not an ordering system and takes no payment; it is the menu, the hours and the phone number, which is what a regular needs before walking in.
Yes. The price on a French menu includes VAT and service, and the menu we build prints it that way — one number, the way the ardoise has it, with 20% VAT inside rather than added at a checkout. Our own €45, €185 and €460 are our prices before VAT, charged in US dollars by Polar, our merchant of record; the checkout shows the exact amount and any VAT before you pay. Those are two different prices and the page keeps them apart.
It fits a boulangerie better than most: a bread and viennoiserie list, the hours including the August closure, the queue-time note and a QR on the bag or in the window. A bread named 'pain de tradition française' is defined by the 1993 décret pain — flour, water, yeast and salt, nothing frozen — and if you bake that way it is worth one line on the page, because it is the thing your competitor cannot say.
Same price. Everything is built and delivered remotely, so the address and the map pin change and the € figure does not — the page is written for the city you trade in.
The Local Pack: a mobile website on its own link, a digital menu with one QR code per table, three print-ready posters, five Instagram posts with captions, and one round of edits. The files are yours and there is no subscription.
No. €45, €185 or €460 — US$49, US$199 or US$499 — is the whole price, charged once. The euro figures are the prices we set for this market, within a euro or two of a straight conversion at €1 = US$1.08, and the checkout page shows the exact US$ amount before you pay. Domain registration, printing and advertising are yours to pay if you want them, and we do not take a cut of anything you sell.
Yes. You get an edit key for the page, so a price, a closing time or a sold-out dish is a change you make in a minute. The QR codes already on the tables keep working because the address never changes.
Polar Software, Inc., our merchant of record, on their checkout page. Your card details are entered there and never on this site; they issue the receipt and handle any refund.
The packages, what is delivered, and the three-year maths — on one A4 page you can hand over or pin up.
