Menuthere vs Putmenu
Putmenu (プットメニュー) is a Japanese mobile-ordering platform: guests find the store in the free Putmenu app, and order and pay on their phone for takeaway, in a food court or at the table (the table is identified by a PaperBeacon sheet), with menus machine-translated into 12 languages. It is used by restaurants, food courts, stadium stands, shops and petrol stations in Japan, and it also sells a store-branded digital prepaid balance, Putmenu Prepaid. The Basic plan has no setup or monthly fee and takes a 5% usage fee on each payment; prices for the other paid plans are given on enquiry.
Free plan
Basic plan: ¥0 setup and ¥0 a month, with a 5% usage fee on each payment taken through the Putmenu app (credit card or PayPay); nothing is charged in periods with no sales. Sales minus the fee are paid into the store's account; amounts under ¥30,000 roll over to the next month, and a transfer of less than ¥30,000 costs a ¥1,000 (plus tax) admin fee. Putmenu Prepaid: ¥0 setup and ¥0 a month, then ¥80 per ¥1,000 charged and ¥15 per ¥1,000 spent. Some other plans are paid; their prices are not published (the FAQ says cost is quoted on enquiry).
