Digital menu prices in the US vary because products with the same label can do very different jobs. A QR link to a menu, a table-ordering tool and a full restaurant marketing platform should not be compared as if they were interchangeable.
Typical monthly ranges
- Basic QR menu tools: often about $10 to $30 per month
- Ordering and restaurant operations tools: often about $30 to $120 per month
- Broader POS, website and marketing platforms: commonly start higher and may add processing or order fees
These ranges are a useful first filter, not a quote. Location count, payment processing, hardware, branded apps and managed marketing can change the total substantially.
Fees that change the real price
- One-time setup or menu-entry fees
- A percentage taken from every direct order
- Required tablets, printers or other hardware
- Separate charges for each location
- Premium support, branded apps or analytics add-ons
- Annual contracts that are difficult to leave
Match the tier to the job
A single-location cafe that only needs a branded menu should not pay for a full restaurant stack. A busy restaurant that wants table ordering and staff notifications should not choose the cheapest QR generator and expect it to run service.
How Softellio is positioned
Softellio US plans begin at $19 per month for the digital menu, move to $49 for table service and operations, and reach $99 for multi-location management. There is no setup fee or per-order commission, and annual billing includes two months free.
The best comparison question
Ask what the product will remove from your week: reprinting menus, relaying requests, chasing sold-out updates, managing location differences or interpreting guest behavior. The right plan pays for a specific operational improvement, not for a longer feature list.
