QR menu for restaurants in Lebanon, free, printed once
A QR menu for a restaurant in Beirut or anywhere in Lebanon: built from your PDF or photos in minutes, in Arabic right to left or English, free, with a code you print once because it points at an address that never changes. Diners order from it into your WhatsApp at 0% commission, and on Plus the same code lets a table call the waiter, ask for the bill and order.
Used in Beirut by The Protein Bar, six of Fakhani Gourmet’s branches, Harbs Bakery and Joy Beirut.
Free, no card; ordering and payments on Plus from $49 a location.
Why this code outlives the menu
A menu in your brand, in Arabic, without a designer
Send a PDF, photos or a text and the AI builds the menu in minutes, in your colours, right to left in Arabic with a real Arabic webfont, or in English. A restaurant, cafe, cloud kitchen or home kitchen. Free.
One code, allocated once
Your QR encodes ala.menu/q/yourcode, handed out once, never recycled and never deleted. Change every price, or rename your link: the short code is repointed and the stickers on the tables keep working.
The menu and the QR, free
Send a PDF, photos or a description and the AI builder types the menu; the working QR comes with it. No card, nothing expires. Free.
Your logo and colours on the code
Colours, your logo in the middle, 4 dot patterns, 5 corner styles, 8 frames and 10 ready palettes. On Plus; a Free menu keeps a plain black-and-white code.
Table service from the same code
A QR tent per table, up to 500 tables: the guest calls the waiter, asks for the bill or orders from the table. On Plus.
The same link in your Instagram bio
The menu behind the code is the menu behind your bio link, and the diner’s WhatsApp order arrives written out, at 0% commission. Free.
Arabic and English, and ordering when you are ready
Publish in Arabic right to left, free; a language switcher is Plus. The same code grows into your own checkout with delivery zones and payments on Plus.
Live in three steps
1. Build the menu
Send a PDF, a photo of the printed card, or a description. The AI builder does the typing.
2. Download the QR
It already works. Style it on Plus if you want your colours and logo on it.
3. Put it on the tables
And the window, and the bag. Then forget about it. The menu behind it can change forever.

Lebanon, spelled out
- Payment rails you can switch on
- Cash on delivery. Manual transfer with the Whish, OMT, bank and other presets: the diner sends, you confirm, and a manual transfer never marks the order paid on its own. Whish Pay as a live online gateway, in USD and LBP only. Cards through CyberSource, with NetCommerce or any bank, or Areeba’s Mastercard gateway. Online payments are Plus.
- Currency
- USD base with LBP shown to diners, at a rate and a rounding step you set. While that is on, online card payment pauses by design, because the gateway would otherwise be handed an amount you do not settle in. Cash, transfer and WhatsApp orders carry on as normal.
- Languages
- Arabic with full native RTL, English and French. Publishing the menu in Arabic is free; offering diners a language switcher, with AI translation across 21 languages, is Plus.
- Where the menu lives
- ala.menu/yourname on Free and Plus. Your own domain is Pro.
- Price
- Plus $49 a location a month, Pro $99, Free to start; 0% commission on every plan.
QR menus, answered
Will the QR break if I change prices?
No. The printed code points at a short address, not at your menu content, so editing prices, items, photos or the whole template leaves it untouched. Free.
What if I rename my menu link?
The short code gets repointed at the new link, so the printed codes keep resolving. One thing to know: the old link itself is released, so anyone who bookmarked ala.menu/old-name will not land on you. The QR is the durable address; the link is not.
Can I put my logo on it?
On Plus. The QR designer puts your colours and your logo in the middle of the code, with dot patterns, corner styles, frames and ready-made palettes. On Free the code is plain black on white. It works perfectly, it just is not styled.
Can people order from the table?
On Plus. Table service gives each table its own QR tent, up to 500 tables: the guest calls the waiter, asks for the bill or orders from the table, and the order lands on your order board. On Free the code opens the menu and WhatsApp ordering.
Is it really free?
Yes. The menu and a working, downloadable QR code are on the free plan, with no card and no expiry. Styling the code and table service are the parts that need Plus.
Do diners need an app to scan it?
No. Every phone camera made in the last several years scans a QR code from the camera app, and the menu opens in the browser. Nothing to install and no account.
Can one code serve several branches?
Each branch is its own menu with its own code, so the table tent in one branch opens that branch’s menu and hours. They all sit under one brand in one dashboard.
Is the Arabic real Arabic?
Yes. The menu renders right to left natively with a loaded Arabic webfont, not a mirrored English layout. You can publish the menu in Arabic on the free plan. Offering diners a switcher between languages, with AI translation into 21 languages, is on Plus.
What does it cost?
The menu, your Page, the QR and WhatsApp ordering are free, with no card and no trial period. Website ordering with delivery zones, Whish Pay and cards, the customer list and promo codes are Plus; a custom domain and the loyalty card are Pro. Plus is $49 a location a month and Pro $99. 0% commission on every plan.
