Toast and other QR-menu SaaS charge $29+ a month, forever, with per-location fees and your menu held hostage in their cloud. Menuly builds your menu in a drag-and-drop editor and serves a fast, phone-first menu page from your own server. $24, once. Change a price or 86 a dish and it updates the instant a guest scans.

• Menu builder — Categories and items with name, description, photo and dietary tags, all drag-to-reorder.

• Server-rendered menu page — Pure HTML with inline critical CSS and no JS bundle, so it loads instantly on any phone with sticky category nav.

• 86 it in one click — Toggle an item out of stock and it vanishes from the live menu immediately, toggle back when the kitchen restocks.

• Specials section — Mark items as specials and flip one switch to show a Today's Specials section at the top of the menu.

• Branding per venue — Dark or light theme, accent color, logo and tagline, all respected on the public page.

• QR + printable table tent — A locally-generated QR PNG with no external APIs, plus a fold-ready US-Letter table-tent PDF.

• Multi-location — One admin managing many venues, each with its own slug, QR and branding, with one-click menu copying between them.

Runs as a Windows desktop app or on any $5 VPS (Docker included).
