Simple pricing
A menu isn't a price list — it's a sales tool. AI-enhanced dish photos, three ready-made layouts, one QR code to every table.
What early users say
3 layouts
5 languages
2-min photos
“No more reprinting the whole menu for one dish change — I edit on my phone and the QR codes on the tables are instantly up to date. That alone saves a print run every season.”
“Guests ask if we hired a food photographer — it's just phone photos with AI enhancement. The menu looks so much more premium now.”
Why MenuCraft
AI photo enhancement replaces manual retouching — a full set of dish photos is ready in the time it takes to brew coffee.
Enhancement keeps every dish true to the plate — no invented ingredients, no reshaped food — so guests trust what they order.
Publish once and share by QR code, link or print — price and dish updates go live everywhere without reprinting.
