How Much Does a QR Menu Cost in Croatia? The Real 2026 Numbers

"Koliko košta QR jelovnik?" is the first question every Croatian restaurant owner asks, and most platforms make it strangely hard to answer. This guide gives you the real numbers: what a digitalni jelovnik costs in 2026, what paper menus actually cost you per season, and the hidden fees that turn a cheap subscription into an expensive one.

The Short Answer

With doXmenu, a complete QR menu for a Croatian restaurant costs 12.99€ per month billed annually (155.88€ per year), with the first month free and no credit card to start. That includes everything: unlimited dishes, all 24 languages, photos, allergen tags, the waiter call button once you switch table service on, and analytics. The only optional extra is physical equipment from the shop: QR stickers from 0.65€ and table holders from 2.45€.

What Paper Menus Cost a Croatian Restaurant per Year

To judge whether 155.88€ a year is expensive, you need the comparison number. For a typical 20 to 25 table konoba or restaurant on the coast:

And the paper column buys you exactly two languages at best, prices that are wrong the day your supplier raises them, and zero data about when guests open the menu.

Hidden Fees to Watch For When Comparing Platforms

The advertised price is rarely the real price in this market. When you compare a QR jelovnik cijena across providers, check for:

• Per-table or per-QR-code fees. Some platforms charge per table, so on a 30 table terrace a cheap-looking base price multiplies fast. doXmenu has no per-table fees.
• Language caps. Many tools include one or two languages and charge for more. On the Croatian coast you need at least four. With doXmenu, all 24 languages are included.
• Order commissions. Platforms with ordering features sometimes take a percentage of every order. doXmenu takes no commission, ever.
• Setup or onboarding fees. You should be able to build the menu yourself in an afternoon, for free.
• "Contact us" enterprise pricing. If a provider will not print a price, plan for it to be high.

What the Equipment Costs

The QR code itself is generated free in the platform. For the tables, Croatian venues typically choose:

• Laminated QR stickers, from 0.65€ each, minimum 20, wipeable: the budget option
• Acrylic stands, 4.50€ each: the standard for indoor dining rooms
• Stainless steel stands, from 5.99€ each, wind-resistant, with your logo engraved: the choice for terraces in the bura

A full 25 table setup costs between about 16€ (stickers) and 150€ (inox stands), once. All include free custom design from the doXmenu shop, and new customers can order a free pack of 20 QR stickers.

The Return Side: What a Digital Menu Earns

Cost is half the math. Croatian venues see returns from three directions:

• Tourist tables order more. Germans made 21.5% of foreign overnight stays in the first seven months of 2025, Slovenians 10.8% and Austrians 9.0% (DZS). Guests who can read your menu in German or Slovenian, with photos, order starters and desserts they would otherwise skip.
• Seasonal price changes become free. No more printing June and September versions of the same jelovnik.
• The daily catch sells at today's price. Update the fish and its price each morning instead of writing "ask your waiter", which tourists read as a warning.
