About SmartMenuScan

Paperless QR menus for every restaurant, forever free.

SmartMenuScan gives restaurants a simple place to host live menus online, cut down on paper waste, and update prices instantly. Owners never pay us—our maintenance and hosting costs are covered through tasteful sponsored ads that we manage on their behalf.

Always free for restaurants

There are no pro plans or surprise fees. If you run a restaurant, SmartMenuScan remains 100% free to use.

Sustainable hospitality

Going digital saves time and trees. We focus on accessible QR workflows so every venue can retire paper menus confidently.

Ads handled responsibly

SmartMenuScan—not restaurant owners—manages any sponsored creatives. Revenue simply covers hosting and future improvements.

Milestones

Ideation

1. Paperless mission

We started SmartMenuScan to eliminate disposable menus by giving restaurants a permanent home for their QR menus.

Launch

2. Free-for-life launch

Every feature—menu hosting, QR exports, updates—rolled out without pricing tiers so restaurants never worry about invoices.

Now

3. Ad-supported future

Sponsored placements and prospective AdSense inventory fund hosting and maintenance while keeping owners away from ad operations.

How we stay free

Owners do not buy ads, manage sponsorships, or share revenue. SmartMenuScan works with select advertisers (and eventually AdSense) to keep the lights on, pay for hosting, and invest back into the platform—so every restaurant can keep printing zero pages.
