25–35%
Lost to delivery apps
That's how much of each order value Zomato and Swiggy can take in commissions and fees — before you've paid for ingredients.

The everyday struggle
The paper menu is quietly costing you.
Every reprint, every "do you have this in Tamil?", every order that walks to a commission app — it adds up. Here's what most restaurants are losing.
₹3–8k
Spent reprinting menus
Change a price, run out of a dish, add a special — and the printed menu is already wrong. So you reprint. Again.
57%
Prefer their own language
More than half of India's urban internet users prefer regional-language content — yet most menus are English-only.
₹17.58
Per-order platform fee
On top of commission, the big apps now add a flat platform fee to every single order. Direct orders cost you none of it.
Carte fixes all four — and the order lands in your WhatsApp, not someone else's app.

Good questions
Everything you're wondering.
How much does it really cost?
You can publish a working QR menu for free, forever. Paid plans start at ₹199/month — less than the cost of reprinting a menu once. There's no setup fee and no commission on orders, on any plan.
How long does setup take?
Most owners go from sign-up to a live QR menu in under 10 minutes. Add your dishes and prices, pick a theme, and Carte generates your QR and link instantly.
Does this replace my POS or billing system?
No — Carte sits alongside whatever you already use. It's your menu and your direct ordering channel. Orders arrive on WhatsApp; you bill and serve exactly as you do now.
Do my customers need to download an app?
Never. They scan your QR with their phone camera and the menu opens in the browser. Ordering happens through WhatsApp, which they already have.
Which languages are supported?
Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Gujarati and English. Guests switch language with one tap and the entire menu updates instantly.
Do you take a commission on orders?
Zero. Unlike delivery apps that take 25–35% of every order, Carte charges a flat low subscription and nothing per order. Every rupee from a direct order stays with you.
Can I change prices or specials after printing the QR?
Yes — the QR never changes, only the menu behind it. Update a price, add a special or mark a dish sold-out and it's live for guests instantly. No reprinting.
Your menu deserves better than paper.
