A QR code pointing at a text list is a digital version of the same problem: diners still can't see the food. HeyPlates treats every dish like content — a short autoplaying clip in a familiar, DoorDash-style feed. The menu stops being a reference document and becomes the best salesperson on the floor.
Most builders hand you an empty template. We take your existing menu — PDF, photos, whatever you have — and deliver a finished, branded video menu with QR codes. Afterwards you manage it in a simple drag-and-drop editor, or let us keep it updated for you.
When you're ready, the same menu takes orders through your Square POS, and wallet-based loyalty keeps regulars coming back — no extra apps for diners, no second vendor for you.
No — send us a link or export of your current menu and we rebuild it as a video menu for you. Your new QR codes go on the tables when you're happy with it.
No. Dishes without a clip show as clean text rows with photos, and you can add videos dish by dish — or have our content team shoot the whole menu in one visit.
Yes — each location gets its own menu and QR codes under one account, priced per live menu.
Send us your current menu — we'll build the video version for you, free to preview before anything goes live.
