A price change means a reprint or a sticker
Milk went up, so the flat white went up, and now there is a strip of tape over every menu on the counter. Or you eat the difference until the next print run.

What is a QR menu for a café?
A QR menu for a café is a digital menu that opens in the guest’s phone browser when they scan a code on the counter or the table. No app, no download. With TapTime you change prices, add a seasonal drink or mark a pastry sold out from your phone, and every guest sees the change at once, in their own language, on the same code you printed once.
The chalkboard is right. The printed menu is not.
A café menu changes every week: the seasonal drink, the new price for oat milk, the pastry that sold out at ten. Paper cannot keep up, and the guest at the counter is reading last month’s prices.
The pastry case empties by eleven
The cinnamon rolls are gone, but the menu still lists them. Every third guest asks, every third guest is disappointed, and the barista explains it forty times a day.
Tourists point at the case and guess
Half your summer guests do not read the language on the board. They order the safe thing, skip the pastry and never find out about the filter coffee you are proud of.
A menu that keeps up with the pastry case.
Everything changes from the phone behind the counter. Ordering is a switch you can leave off.
-
Edit on the phone, live on every table
Open the dashboard on the phone behind the counter, change the flat white price, save. Every guest who scans from that second sees the new one. No print shop, no tape.
-
Sold out in one tap
The last cinnamon roll goes; you tap it unavailable and it vanishes from every phone in the room. Tomorrow morning, tap it back.
-
One code, every language
Add the languages your guests read. Their phone opens the right one automatically. The code on the counter stays exactly the same.
-
A breakfast menu that hides itself at eleven
Time-limited menus: the breakfast set shows until 11:00, the lunch sandwiches after. Nobody orders porridge at four in the afternoon.
-
Menu only, or ordering when you want it
Many cafés run it as a read-only menu with photos and allergens. Flip ordering on for the terrace or the weekend and guests pay from the phone; the money goes to your own payment provider.
-
Looks like your café, not like software
Themes, fonts and colors to match the counter. Gallery or list layout, a photo on every item, badges for vegan and gluten-free, calories if you want them.
Print the code once. Everything else is a tap.
No hardware, no onboarding call, no setup fee. A café menu is short; most are live before the lunch rush.

Saturday, 09:40, at Café Lumen.
One morning with a menu that keeps up with the pastry case.
-
The oat-milk supplier’s new invoice arrives. The owner changes three prices on the phone while the milk steams. No sticker, no reprint.
-
The last cinnamon roll goes to the couple at the high table. One tap and it disappears from every menu in the room. The barista stops apologising.
-
Two guests from abroad scan the code at the counter and read the menu in their own language. They order the filter coffee and a slice of cake, not the safe cappuccino.
-
The breakfast set hides itself. The lunch sandwiches take its place, exactly as scheduled. Nobody touched anything.
Know which story or flyer opened your menu, even with ordering switched off
Menu-only all week or ordering on the terrace at weekends, the menu reports to your analytics and your team chat. It is part of the QR menu at no extra cost: no add-on, no higher tier, no fee per event.
How conversions, webhooks and the API work
Your own GA4 and Meta Pixel on the menu page
Add your GA4, Tag Manager or Meta Pixel in Analytics & tracking and it runs on the menu, while order and payment pages stay tag-free. Tag the Instagram story and the counter flyer with UTMs and GA4 shows which one opened the menu.
A ping when the weekend orders start
Switch ordering on for Saturday and each new order reaches the counter's Telegram group or Slack in seconds, with the total and a link back. Nobody refreshes the dashboard between two flat whites.
Weekend takings straight into your books
Zapier, Make, n8n or Pipedream pass each paid order to your accounting or a Google Sheet, with no code. The oat-latte weekend is counted before you have wiped down the steam wand.
For whoever runs your website
Signed webhooks post each order as JSON to your own site or tools, and the REST API reads orders with their lines and totals. It is documented in the open at /docs/api, with keys you make in the dashboard.
One flat price for the whole menu.
49 ₾ a month per café. Unlimited items, photos, languages and scans. Ordering and card payments are included if you switch them on, and TapTime takes no share of what guests pay; the money goes to your own payment provider.
More than one café? Each location has its own menu and its own 49 ₾ subscription under one account, with staff scoped to their location. A digital loyalty card or table reservations can be switched on later, separately.

Questions café owners ask before switching.
Can I use the QR menu without online ordering?
Yes, and many cafés do. Ordering is a single switch in the settings; leave it off and the code opens a read-only menu with photos, allergens and prices. Turn it on later for the terrace or the weekend rush if you want guests to order and pay from the phone.
How do I change a price or mark something sold out?
Open the dashboard on any phone, tap the item, change the price or flip the sold-out toggle and save. Every guest who scans from that moment sees the change. Nothing to reprint.
Do guests need to install an app?
No. The menu opens in the phone’s browser the moment the camera reads the QR code. Any iPhone or Android phone, no download, no account.
Can the menu show several languages on the same code?
Yes. Add a translation for each item in the dashboard and the guest’s phone opens the menu in its own language. The QR code on the counter never changes.
Do I have to reprint the QR code when I change the menu?
No. The code points to your menu, not to a version of it. Print it once, and everything behind it — items, prices, photos, languages — changes from the dashboard.
Can I show a breakfast menu only until a certain hour?
Yes. Give a category or an offer a time window, such as breakfast until 11:00, and it shows and hides itself on schedule. Combos and promotions work the same way.
What does it cost, and is there a contract?
49 ₾ a month per location, flat, with unlimited items and scans. Paid monthly by card, no contract, no setup fee. The first 14 days are free and you do not enter a card to start.
What happens if I stop paying?
After a short grace period the menu is paused and the code shows guests a brief “temporarily unavailable” note. Nothing is deleted; switch the subscription back on and the menu is exactly as you left it.
Can I add Google Analytics or a Meta Pixel to my café's QR menu?
Yes. Paste your GA4 measurement id, Tag Manager container or Meta Pixel in Website & Design, under Analytics & tracking, and it works on a menu-only page too. Order and payment pages never load those tags. If you switch ordering on, TapTime also reports each order to GA4, Meta and Google Ads as one purchase.
Print the code once. Change the menu forever.
