Change a price
in seconds.
Your menu is the most-read page you have, and usually the one nobody can edit. Sign in and every dish on it gets its own edit button. Change anything, save, and it's live. Sold out is one tap.

Same software, four quite different places
Four demo restaurants running on the real product, one of them a food truck. Run a truck? Here's how it works for you.
This is the whole thing
Changing a price, start to finish. No web developer, no waiting.
In the clip: changing a dish's price and saving it, the live menu showing the new price, then marking another dish sold out.
Why it matters
It's where people decide whether to come in or keep scrolling.
An out-of-date menu costs you twice
Once when a diner shows up for a dish you stopped making last spring, and again when they argue over a price you raised months ago. Yours is right because you changed it this morning.
Fewer calls asking the same three things
Are you open Sunday? Do you have anything gluten-free? How much is the lunch special? Answered before the phone rings.
Real text, so it can be found
Your dishes are words on a page, not a photo of a menu. Google can read words. It can't read a picture.
Not just the menu
Hours, specials, events, catering, photos of your place. The parts of your restaurant that change, in one place, kept up to date by you.
What you get
Edit right on your live menu
Sign in and every dish and section has its own edit button. Change anything, drag dishes into the order you want, save. Nothing goes through us.
Sold out, or off the menu, in one tap
One button on every dish marks it sold out, and another hides it until you bring it back. No form, and nothing gets deleted.
Import the menu you have
Upload a photo or PDF of your menu, or paste its text. The dishes come in hidden for you to check and publish. Labels stay yours to set.
Your staff can help
Give your manager a login to run the menu, and your crew one that only marks dishes sold out or hides them. You decide who gets which.
Built for phones first
Most people read your menu on a phone, often standing outside your door. It's built for that.
Looks like your place
Start from one of 22 ready-made looks, then set your own colors, fonts and banner.
Allergens and diets
Flag what's vegan, gluten-free or contains nuts, and let diners filter the menu down to what they can safely eat.
Specials that run themselves
Set a dish for Taco Tuesday and it shows up in your specials every Tuesday.
Opening hours
Split lunch and dinner service, late nights, and whether you're open right now.
Events
Post where you'll be next, with the flyer and a pin on your exact spot. Made for food trucks, and just as good for a wine dinner.
Catering and seasonal
A page for catering packages and one for dishes that come and go. Both stay hidden until you use them.
A photo gallery
The room, the patio, a busy Friday night. The things a menu can't show.
Ordering and reservation links
Buttons for DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, OpenTable, Resy, or your own checkout.
A QR code for the table
Print it, stick it on the table, and the menu people scan is the one you edited this morning.
Your own web address
yourplace.menuhosted.com, or point a domain you already own at it.

Questions people ask
If yours isn't here, email us and a person will answer.
Do I need a web developer?
No. You sign in, type your dishes in, and hit save. Changing a price or marking something sold out takes seconds.
Can I use my own web address?
Yes. Point a domain you already own at your site. You keep ownership: we only ask you to add one DNS record, and we never take control of your domain. If you don't have one, you get a menuhosted.com address.
Do you type my menu in for me?
No, but you don't have to type it in either. Upload a photo or PDF of your menu, or paste its text, and the dishes come in hidden for you to check and publish. If you get stuck, email us and we'll help you finish.
What happens when the free trial ends?
If you subscribe, nothing changes. If you don't, your site goes dark after 14 days. Nothing is deleted yet, and subscribing brings it back exactly as you left it. If you still haven't subscribed 30 days after that, the account is deleted for good. We email you several times before each step.
Do I have to give you a card to start?
No. The trial isn't a subscription, so there's nothing to cancel. It just ends.
Can I cancel?
Any time, from your own account. Your site keeps running to the end of the month you've paid for. No contract; it's month to month.
Can I take my menu with me if I leave?
Yes. A button in your account downloads everything: your whole menu as a spreadsheet, your settings, and every photo you uploaded, at full size. It's yours; we don't hold it hostage.
Can customers order or book a table through it?
Not directly. Menu Hosted is your menu, not an ordering or reservation system. Add your links to DoorDash, Uber Eats, OpenTable, Resy or whatever you use, and they show as buttons on your menu.
How do diners actually find my menu?
However you like. You get a QR code to print for the table or the window, a link for Google, Facebook or Instagram, and your own web address if you use one.
Can I show which dishes are gluten free, vegan, or contain nuts?
Yes, and diners can filter the menu by them. You set every label. We never guess; only your kitchen knows what's in your food. Every menu also carries a short notice telling diners to check with staff about allergies.
Does it work for a food truck?
Yes. Skip the street address and describe where to find you instead, drop a pin on your usual spot, and post the markets and festivals you're working on your events page, flyers and all.
I already have a website. Is this any use?
Yes. Plenty of restaurant websites have a menu stuck on as a PDF that nobody can read on a phone or update except whoever built it. Link your site to your Menu Hosted menu and keep both.
What does it cost after the trial?
$79 a month per restaurant, month to month. The first 15 restaurants to subscribe pay $49 a month and keep that rate for as long as they stay subscribed.
The full detail is in the Terms of Service, which are written to be read rather than to be skipped.
