How does DineCard create a digital menu from my printed menu?

Take a photo of your existing printed menu or upload a PDF. DineCard's AI reads every item, price, and category — even menus written in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, and more. Your digital QR code menu goes live in under 5 minutes with a branded URL like yourname.dinecard.in.

How much does a digital QR code menu cost for a restaurant in India?

DineCard starts with a completely free 14-day trial — no credit card required. After the trial, the monthly plan is just ₹99/month and the yearly plan is ₹999/year (2 months free, saving ₹189). That's less than the cost of one customer's average order at most restaurants.

Do I need technical skills or a computer to set up a digital menu?

No technical skills needed at all. If you can take a photo with your smartphone, you can set up DineCard. The entire process — from uploading your menu photo to having a live QR code ready to print — takes under 5 minutes. Works entirely from your phone.

What Indian languages does DineCard's menu AI support?

DineCard's AI reads 15+ Indian languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, and more. It handles mixed-language menus perfectly — for example, a menu with Hindi item names and English descriptions, or Tamil items with English prices.

Can I update menu prices and items after the initial setup?

Yes, you can update your digital menu anytime from your phone or computer. Change prices, add or remove items, rename categories, toggle item availability, and set percentage or flat discount offers — all changes go live on your QR code menu in real-time. No reprinting needed ever again.

Does the QR code menu work on all smartphones?

Yes, DineCard menus are mobile-first and work on every smartphone with a camera and browser — Android, iPhone, and all others. Customers simply scan the QR code on their table and the menu loads instantly. No app download needed.

What happens when my DineCard plan or free trial expires?

When any plan expires, your menu URL goes offline and the QR code stops showing your menu. But your data (items, categories, settings) is never deleted. Subscribe or renew anytime and your full menu goes back online instantly.

Is the restaurant QR code permanent? Do I need to reprint it?

Yes, your QR code and branded URL (yourname.dinecard.in) are permanent and never change. Print the QR code once — on table tents, stickers, standees, or your wall — and it stays valid forever. You only update items through the dashboard, never reprint the QR code.
