What Affects the Cost of an AR Menu?
Several factors influence how much an AR menu QR code costs:
Number of dishes
More dishes means higher total cost, but the per-dish price drops significantly with multi-dish packages. A single dish costs £49, but 15 dishes in the Pro package works out to just £20 per dish.
Turnaround time
Standard 48-hour delivery is included in all packages. Rush delivery (24 hours or 12 hours) is available on Growth and Pro packages at no extra charge.
Hosting duration
12-month hosting is included in Starter and Growth. Lifetime hosting with no renewal fees is available in the Pro package — the best value for restaurants planning long-term use.
Photo quality provided
High-quality dish photos from multiple angles (ideally 15–20 photos per dish) result in more accurate 3D models. We provide photography guidelines with every order.
