square.menu vs Tabemi

square.menu is a web dashboard for restaurants, cafes, hotels, and service brands to publish digital menus. Guests open menus through QR codes or direct links, including links shared in Instagram bios, Google Maps listings, and WhatsApp. Businesses can edit prices, items, availability, ingredients, allergens, calories, and notes, with changes synchronized to the live menu. Menus can be edited from a phone, tablet, or laptop without installing an app, and the site advertises a multi-language experience. The Free plan costs nothing and allows one menu, up to 25 products, and up to three categories with QR sharing and square.menu branding. Starter costs $59 a year. Pro costs $149 a year and adds unlimited menus, products, and categories for one business, online ordering, a custom subdomain, website embed, and advanced customization. Business plans add branch controls and team access.

Tabemi is web-based order-management software for dine-in restaurants. Guests scan a table QR code to browse the live menu, place orders in a browser, and pay the restaurant directly, without an app or account. Staff track orders on a board as they move from acceptance through preparation, readiness, and service; waiter calls and bill requests appear there too. Menu tools include dish photos and videos, spice and diet marks, one-tap out-of-stock status, and AI import from a paper menu. Searchable order history and sales insights cover time, table, and dish. Guests can order without giving a phone number. Tabemi says it does not handle funds or charge commission. It has no POS or kitchen-printer integration, so kitchens using printed tickets need orders entered into their existing system. The free plan allows 300 diner requests per month per outlet; a no-card 15-day trial begins with the first real order. Paid plans start at $19 per month per outlet for up to 8 tables.
