AI-powered digital menu platform with QR code ordering that helps restaurants modernize their dining experience and streamline operations

The Challenge

Restaurants face significant challenges with traditional paper menus: printing costs, inability to update prices quickly, no analytics on customer preferences, and an outdated dining experience. They needed a modern solution that could digitize menus while being easy to manage.

  • High printing costs for menu updates
  • No real-time price or availability changes
  • Zero insights into customer menu behavior
  • Manual, time-consuming menu creation
  • Difficulty managing multiple locations
  • Missed orders and slow service

The Solution

We built QRNOA, a comprehensive SaaS platform that transforms restaurant operations with AI-powered digital menus, per-table QR codes, real-time analytics, and smart service features. Restaurants can go digital in minutes, not weeks.

  • AI-powered menu importer from photos
  • AI template generator for custom designs
  • Per-table QR codes with analytics
  • Real-time menu updates
  • Ready-to-Order customer notifications
  • Shopping list integration with Instacart
  • Multi-business dashboard
