QR Code Menu for Restaurants in India
A digital menu made for how Indian restaurants actually price and serve: Half and Full plates in rupees, Hindi or Tamil at a tap, and prices you can change from your phone when the sabzi mandi does. Put a UPI pay code beside it and the table card handles the menu and the bill.
No card needed. Then ₹399/month, or ₹333/month billed yearly.

Why most QR menus don't fit Indian restaurants
Most QR menus are a PDF of the printed card. On a phone that means pinching and zooming through eight pages of small text, and when the price of paneer or tomatoes changes, the PDF stays wrong until someone redesigns and re-uploads it. Diners notice: in surveys, small, hard-to-read text is the most common complaint about QR menus.
Indian menus add their own needs. Many dishes have a Half and a Full price. Menus run long, with a thali, a Chinese section and a tandoor section on the same card. Guests at the same table may read Hindi, Tamil or English. And everyone expects to pay by UPI. ScanOrbit's menu is a phone page built from your dishes, not a document, so each of those is handled properly.
Built for an Indian menu
Everything here is in the menu editor today.
Half / Full and portion prices
Give a dish two or more prices: Half and Full, 250 g and 500 g, 6 or 12 pieces. Diners see them side by side instead of a confusing price list.
Start from your printed menu
Upload a PDF of your menu, or a clear photo of the printed one, and the dishes and prices are read into the editor for you. Check them, fix anything misread, and publish.
Hindi, Tamil and English
Add a translation for each dish and section, and diners switch language with one tap. Other languages, from Arabic to Chinese, are there for tourist areas.
Change prices from your phone
Tomato prices jumped? Paneer ran out? Edit the dish and save. The code on every table shows the new menu on the next scan, with nothing to reprint.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner menus
Keep separate menus under one code, each with its own hours. Whichever one is being served opens first; the others stay a tap away.
Dish photos
Add a photo to the dishes people ask about. A picture of the thali answers "how much food is it?" before anyone has to call the waiter.
A line for the details
A footer for the Wi-Fi password, "prices include GST", your address or delivery number, shown in every language.
See when people scan
Scans by day, hour and device, so you know how many tables actually opened the menu and when your rush really starts.
Menu and payment on one table card
Read the menu, then pay by UPI
Print two codes side by side: "Scan for menu" and "Scan to pay". The menu code is your ScanOrbit menu. The pay code is a standard UPI QR that opens GPay, PhonePe, Paytm or any UPI app with your shop name filled in. The money goes straight to your bank; ScanOrbit never touches it.

Getting a QR menu right
- Write dish names the way your guests say them, and add a one-line description only where people usually ask ("how spicy?", "how many pieces?").
- Split long menus into clear sections (Starters, Tandoor, Main Course, Chinese, Breads, Rice, Desserts) so nobody scrolls through 120 dishes.
- Put the code where people sit, not only at the counter: a table tent, a sticker on the table, the wall of a takeaway queue.
- Print the code at least 3 cm wide on table cards and 10 cm on a wall, with "Scan for menu" written next to it.
- Keep a few paper menus for guests who prefer them, and update prices in the app the same day they change.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a QR code menu cost in India?
The Restaurant Menu QR is part of ScanOrbit Pro: ₹399 a month, or ₹3,999 a year (about ₹333 a month). One Pro plan covers as many menus and outlets as you like. Try it free for 14 days with no card.
Can customers pay the bill from the menu?
Not from the menu page itself, and that's deliberate: payment goes through UPI, straight to your bank, with no cut to us. Print a UPI pay QR (free from our UPI QR generator) on the same table card as the menu code.
Can customers order from the QR menu?
No. This is a menu to read, not an ordering system. Guests order from your staff as usual. It doesn't replace Swiggy or Zomato either; it's the menu for people already at your tables or counter.
Can I show Half and Full plate prices?
Yes. Any dish can have several prices with their own labels: Half/Full, Small/Large, 250 g/500 g, 6 pcs/12 pcs.
Can the menu be in Hindi?
Yes. Add Hindi names and descriptions next to the English ones and guests switch with a tap. Tamil and several other languages are available too.
I already have a printed menu. Do I have to type it all again?
No. Upload the PDF, or take a straight-on, well-lit photo of the printed menu, and the dishes and prices are read into the editor. Handwritten or very decorative menus read less well, so always check before publishing. You can also show the PDF or photo as it is.
Can I mark veg and non-veg dishes?
You can put a vegetarian icon on a section, so a "Veg Main Course" section is marked. A green or red dot on each individual dish isn't available yet; many restaurants split veg and non-veg into separate sections, which works well.
Do my customers need an app?
No. The phone's camera opens the menu in the browser on any recent Android phone or iPhone.
Should I throw away my paper menus?
Keep a few. Surveys of diners keep finding that a good share of people still prefer paper, especially older guests and families. A QR menu works best as the always-up-to-date option, not the only one.
