Moviyum alternative for restaurants: Arabic and branches without the add-ons
Moviyum is about $170 a year, and then Arabic is $25 more, multi-branch is $35 more, and promo codes are $30 more. On a platform sold in Lebanon, Arabic is not an accessory. Here Arabic is a base language on the free plan with full native right-to-left rendering, promo codes come with Plus, and a branch is one tap from the dashboard.
Where the two actually differ
Arabic is not an add-on
Publish the whole menu in Arabic on the free plan, with real right-to-left layout and a loaded Arabic webfont. Not $25 a year on top of $170.
Free before the first add-on
The menu, more than 20 cuisine templates, 13 item card layouts, your own Page and a QR code are on the free plan with no card, and Arabic is in there too.
Branches without a $35 unlock
Every paid plan here includes a branch and you add more from the dashboard in one tap, billed monthly with no minimum term and no cap in the product.
Promo codes come with the plan
A percentage, a fixed amount or free delivery, auto-applied or first-order-only or once per phone number. Included with Plus rather than sold as a $30 add-on.
An order with a status
On Plus an order here has a status the kitchen moves through, a receipt, a total the system computed and a delivery zone it validated, and the diner gets a tracking page of their own.

Moviyum compared, answered
Do I really pay extra for Arabic on Moviyum?
That is what their own site said when we read it on 2026-09-17: $170 a year for the base package, with Arabic at $25, multi-branch at $35 and promo codes at $30 listed separately. Check your own invoice, but that is the shape of it. Here Arabic is free.
Can I move my Moviyum menu over?
Yes. Send the link, a PDF, or a photo of the printed card, and the AI builder rebuilds it, free. Arabic is switched on from the languages panel with nothing to buy first.
How hard is it to switch?
You send us the menu and reprint the QR once. If you take payment through a gateway, you connect your own credentials here the same way you would anywhere else, so the payment account stays yours and nothing settles through us.
How many branches can I have here?
There is no cap in the product. Every paid plan includes one branch, and extras are a monthly amount each, added from the dashboard in one tap and cancellable when a branch closes. The current figures are on the pricing page.
Should I stay on Moviyum?
It is a working QR menu and $170 a year buys a real product, so if it does what you need, stay. The disagreement is with the shape of the pricing: on a platform sold in Lebanon, Arabic should not be a $25 line on top of the plan.
