Elegant Menu vs Menubly
Both Elegant Menu and Menubly let you create a QR menu for free and take orders online. Here is how they compare, so you can choose the right one for your restaurant.
Where Elegant Menu stands out
Elegant Menu is built around the dining room: dine-in orders with table numbers, a live order board, a real-time order status page for guests, allergen labels on every dish and menu translations for tourists. You can also upload a PDF menu and have it turned into a digital menu.
Where Menubly may suit you better
Menubly combines the menu with a mini website and unlimited links, and its PRO plan includes a custom domain and custom menu design. If you mainly want a simple restaurant website with a menu and pickup or delivery orders, Menubly is a good option.
Pricing in short
Both have a free plan. Elegant Menu Basic costs €9 per month, or €7 per month billed yearly. Menubly PRO costs $9.99 per month, or $7.99 per month billed yearly, and comes with a 30-day free trial.
