In their own words
MenuHoster
MenuHoster is a web service for mobile-optimized menus, QR codes, shareable links, websites, ordering, and analytics for food and service businesses. Menus can be created from PDF, JPG, PNG, or WebP uploads, a pasted menu link, or entered text; PDFs can be up to 20MB and photos up to 10MB each. QR codes open a menu page, so item and price edits do not require a new code or reprint. Customers view menus in mobile browsers without downloading an app. Pay-at-pickup ordering is available on every plan; Pro also supports card payments through a connected Stripe account, with 0% MenuHoster commission. Websites include reservations and appointment booking, with daily limits of 10 on Free, 250 on Pro, and 500 on Max. Free costs nothing and includes one active menu, one published website, 3K views and QR scans per rolling 30 days, and 25 pay-at-pickup orders per month. Pro costs $89.88 a year for the first year and renews at 180 USD per year. Max costs $29 a month. The service lists a free plan and a 30-day trial.
