Aftertaste

Does my customer need to download an app?

No. When a guest scans your QR code, your menu opens directly in their phone's browser — Safari, Chrome, or any other. There is nothing to install, no account to create, and no friction between the code and your menu. App-based menus lose roughly 60–80% of guests at the download step. Aftertaste menus work for everyone with a smartphone.

How long does it take to set up a digital QR menu?

Most restaurants finish their first menu in under 30 minutes. You sign up, add your restaurant name and branding colors, create categories, and add items with photos, descriptions, and prices. Your unique QR code generates automatically. There is no waiting period — your menu goes live the moment you publish it.

Can I update my menu in real time?

Yes. Changes you make in the dashboard go live immediately — typically within seconds. You can mark items as unavailable, change prices, add seasonal specials, or swap photos at any time from any device. There is no cache delay, no republishing step, and no need to reprint anything.

How much does a digital QR menu cost?

Aftertaste Digital Menu is $28 per month. There are no commissions, no per-order fees, and no setup costs. The Link in Bio page is $9 per month separately or $34 per month as a bundle. All plans are month-to-month with no long-term contracts.

What's the difference between Aftertaste and a PDF menu?

A PDF menu is a static file. If you change a price or add a dish, you create a new PDF and hope the old link stops circulating. It has no photos per item and renders poorly on most phones. Aftertaste is a live, structured menu: every item has its own photo and description, the layout is mobile-native by default, and updates happen instantly.

Does Aftertaste work for caterers?

Yes, and it is particularly well-suited to catering. Catering menus change by event — a wedding has different options than a corporate lunch. With Aftertaste, you can update your menu in seconds between events without resending PDF attachments to clients. The real-time update feature eliminates the back-and-forth that typically slows the booking process.
