What Menuthere is

Your restaurant's own ordering system, set up in minutes.

Menuthere is software for restaurants, not a delivery app. You put your menu online once, customers order from you directly, and every order comes to you.

1
Your menu goes online
Upload a photo or PDF of your menu and AI builds your ordering page, on your Menuthere link or, on Lite, your own domain.
2
Customers order from you
From your link, a QR code on the table or the bag, or a WhatsApp message. Delivery, takeaway or dine-in.
3
You get every order
On your dashboard and the partner app for Android and iPhone, which rings until someone accepts the order.

It isn't a marketplace: Menuthere doesn't list you next to other restaurants and doesn't deliver for you. The customers who order are the ones you send to your page, and they stay yours.

Rocket Now or Menuthere?

WhatsApp ordering

Your customers don't need another app. They already use WhatsApp.

On Pro, Menuthere connects the WhatsApp Business API to your own number. A customer sends “Hi”, gets your menu, orders, and follows the order in the same chat. You can send offers and comeback messages to customers who haven't ordered in a while.

1The customer sends “Hi”
2Your menu arrives with an Order button
3They order in a few taps
4You accept, and they get updates in the chat

Pro, $39 a month. Meta charges for some WhatsApp messages; see what they cost.

An example

What your regulars are worth, in one sum.

Say you get 300 Rocket Now orders a month in Japan, at ¥2,500 each, and 4 in 10 come from regulars who already know you. At 35% commission, those 120 orders cost you ¥110,000 a month.

Move them to your own page and that's ¥110,000 a month you keep, ¥1,320,000 a year.

An illustration with example numbers, not data. The rate: Around 35%, as reported in May 2026. Enter the rate in your contract. Menuthere's Lite plan, $9 a month, covers unlimited orders.

Questions

Rocket Now alternatives, answered.

Menuthere is online ordering software for restaurants. It gives you your own ordering website, QR codes for tables and packaging, and WhatsApp ordering, and sends every order to your dashboard and partner app. It isn't a delivery app: it doesn't list you next to other restaurants, and it charges 0% commission on every plan.

For orders from customers who already know you, the alternative is your own ordering system: Menuthere, with 0% commission and a free plan with 50 orders a month. Rocket Now does a different job, finding you new customers, so most restaurants keep it for that and move their regulars to their own page.

No. Keep Rocket Now for customers who find you there, and give your regulars your own link on your Google profile, packaging, receipts and table QR codes. Every regular who switches saves you the commission on their orders.

In Japan, about 35% when Rocket Now delivers. Each country's page has the plans, the fees on top and the sources.

The Free plan is $0 and includes 50 orders a month. Lite is $9 a month for unlimited orders, your own domain, offers and scheduled orders. Pro is $39 a month for WhatsApp on your own number, loyalty and your own riders. Lite and Pro have a 7-day free trial, and Menuthere takes 0% commission on every plan.

Yes, by card. From Lite, connect your own Stripe account at no extra cost: customers pay on Stripe's checkout and the money lands in your Stripe balance. Stripe charges its own transaction fee; Menuthere takes no commission. Cash and pay on pickup work on every plan.

You do, with your own staff, or the customer picks up or eats in. On Pro your riders get an app with live tracking.

On Pro, Menuthere runs on the WhatsApp Business API with your own number. The customer sends “Hi”, gets your menu with an Order button, orders, and receives updates in the same chat. Meta charges for some messages. On every plan, customers can also chat with you on WhatsApp and you get a copy of each order on your number.

In Japan: Uber Eats, Demae-can.
