Best QR Code Menu Generators Compared (2026)
A QR code menu is table stakes for New Zealand venues in 2026 — but the big "QR ordering" platforms take a cut of every order, for as long as you use them. Others give you a dynamic code that stops working when a trial ends. We compared the QR code menu tools NZ restaurants actually use — on free tier, ordering and per-order commission — so you can see what you'll really pay before you print your table tents.

Our verdict
me&u, HungryHungry and Bopple are full order-and-pay platforms — great if you want guests to order and pay from the table, but they take a percentage of every order for as long as you use them. Square is free if you're on Square POS (card fees apply), and MENU TIGER offers commission-free ordering on a limited free tier. If you mainly want a clean, free menu guests can scan — with no commission and a printed code that never expires — Dinehere is the simplest start, and it upgrades to a full website on your own domain when you're ready.
