How does DineCard create a digital menu from my printed menu?

Take a photo of your existing printed menu or upload a PDF. DineCard's AI reads every item, price, and category — even menus written in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, and more. Your digital QR code menu goes live in under 5 minutes with a branded URL like yourname.dinecard.in.

How much does a digital QR code menu cost for a restaurant in India?

DineCard starts with a completely free 14-day trial — no credit card required. After the trial, the monthly plan is just ₹99/month and the yearly plan is ₹999/year (2 months free, saving ₹189). That's less than the cost of one customer's average order at most restaurants.

Do I need technical skills or a computer to set up a digital menu?

No technical skills needed at all. If you can take a photo with your smartphone, you can set up DineCard. The entire process — from uploading your menu photo to having a live QR code ready to print — takes under 5 minutes. Works entirely from your phone.

What Indian languages does DineCard's menu AI support?

DineCard's AI reads 15+ Indian languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, and more. It handles mixed-language menus perfectly — for example, a menu with Hindi item names and English descriptions, or Tamil items with English prices.

Can I update menu prices and items after the initial setup?

Yes, you can update your digital menu anytime from your phone or computer. Change prices, add or remove items, rename categories, toggle item availability, and set percentage or flat discount offers — all changes go live on your QR code menu in real-time. No reprinting needed ever again.

Does the QR code menu work on all smartphones?

Yes, DineCard menus are mobile-first and work on every smartphone with a camera and browser — Android, iPhone, and all others. Customers simply scan the QR code on their table and the menu loads instantly. No app download needed.

What happens when my DineCard plan or free trial expires?

When any plan expires, your menu URL goes offline and the QR code stops showing your menu. But your data (items, categories, settings) is never deleted. Subscribe or renew anytime and your full menu goes back online instantly.

Is the restaurant QR code permanent? Do I need to reprint it?

Yes, your QR code and branded URL (yourname.dinecard.in) are permanent and never change. Print the QR code once — on table tents, stickers, standees, or your wall — and it stays valid forever. You only update items through the dashboard, never reprint the QR code.

Uber Eats vs DoorDash vs Deliveroo: Commission Rates & Features Compared

Choosing the right delivery platform can make or break your margins. Uber Eats typically charges restaurants 15-30% commission depending on your plan and marketing features. DoorDash fees range similarly from 15-30%, with their basic plan at 15% (you handle marketing) and premium tiers offering more visibility. Deliveroo charges generally sit between 20-35%, varying by market and contract terms.

Beyond Commission Rates

Commission isn't everything. Uber Eats offers strong brand recognition in North America and Europe, while DoorDash dominates the US market with superior driver availability. Deliveroo leads in the UK, Australia, and parts of Asia. Consider activation fees (usually $0-500), payment processing fees (around 3%), and whether you need their tablet or can integrate with your existing POS.

Most restaurants use 2-3 platforms simultaneously to maximize reach. If you're building your own ordering system to reduce dependency, tools like DineCard (dinecard.in) can create QR code menus in minutes for just $9/month, helping customers order directly.

The real question isn't which platform is cheapest, but which combination delivers the best customer volume in your area while keeping your margins sustainable.
