Popmenu sells an interactive menu wrapped in a marketing suite: $179 to $499 a month, an ordering add-on it does not price on its page, a flat $1.00 on every online order, and a subscription that renews for a year at a time. If what your shop needs is a menu that opens in a second, that is a different product at a different price.
Popmenu does publish its plans, which is more than BentoBox does. Checked on 9 November 2026:
Online ordering and catering is marked as an add-on on all three tiers and Popmenu does not print its price; third parties report about $50 a month. Every online order then carries a flat $1.00 fee — Popmenu's own FAQ — which can be passed to the guest at checkout or absorbed by the restaurant.
The $1 fee is small per ticket and not small per year: 500 online orders a month is $500 a month, $6,000 a year if you absorb it. The contract terms are worth reading before the demo, too. Popmenu's Client Terms of Service set a minimum duration in your subscription agreement, accelerate the unpaid fees if you end early, renew automatically for one-year terms unless you give 30 days' notice, and let Popmenu raise fees on 60 days' notice after the minimum period. Third parties report a one-time onboarding charge of about $1,300.
Only the first line is Popmenu's published price. The other three are what a shop at that volume actually adds, and Popmenu prints none of them: the add-on is quoted, the onboarding is reported, and the $1 fee is a line item you choose to absorb or pass on.

Almost every guest who reads your menu is standing outside, on a phone, on a street with bad signal, deciding whether to come in. They want four things: what you sell, what it costs, whether you are open, and how to call you. That is a page, not a marketing suite.
For scale: the page we hand you is a single HTML file and one stylesheet — under 30 KB in total, no app, no login, no cookie wall. It is not a marketing platform and does not pretend to be. It is the thing a diner needs at the door.
Not a template you fill in. We take your hours, prices and photos, build each piece, and hand back files and a live link.
One form, five minutes. Live the next business day. No app for you or your guests, no monthly fee, and no cut of anything you sell.
The page and the menu are the Local Pack. Nothing here is a subscription, and nothing renews.
One page, one business day.
The one most shops order.
Everything, plus 30 days of us on call.
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.
Popmenu sells the menu inside a plan: the cheapest entry is Starter at $179 a month, and online ordering is a separate add-on on top. There is no menu-only product published. We sell the menu as a page, with a QR code per table, for $49 to $199 once.
Per ticket it is nothing. Per year it is not: at 200 online orders a month it is $2,400, at 500 it is $6,000, and at 1,000 it is $12,000 — whether you absorb it or your guests pay it. Compare that line with a percentage-based processor before you decide which is cheaper for your volume.
Per Popmenu's Client Terms of Service the subscription renews automatically for one-year terms unless either side gives written notice at least 30 days before the term ends, and Popmenu may raise fees on 60 days' notice after the minimum period. Put the renewal date in your calendar a month before, whoever you buy from.
Yes: ordering and payment, reservations, dish-level reviews, and automated email/SMS. If those bring you customers, they are worth paying for — Popmenu's are real products. If they do not, a static page does the part that matters at the door, and does it without a platform script.
Polar Software, Inc., our merchant of record, takes it on their checkout page. Your card details are entered there, never on this site, and they handle the receipt and the tax. We never see your card number.

Want all four on one page? The 2026 cost comparison puts them side by side.
Send your shop once. We build the page, the QR menu, the posters and the posts, and hand it back the next business day. If you already pay a platform for a page like this, this is the line you can take off the bill.
