1. Menubarcode
Small restaurants and cafés in the Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan that want a free or low-cost QR menu with WhatsApp ordering and no commission.
Menubarcode is a QR menu and ordering platform: guests scan a QR code or open a link, order in the browser, and the order lands on the live order board or as a WhatsApp message. The free plan covers two restaurants with unlimited QR menu items and 0% commission; paid plans run from $9 a month (or $249 one-time "Lifetime"), and higher tiers add a POS, kitchen screens and an 11-language menu, with no setup fee.
