Searching for the best QR menu in the Middle East? Test five things before you decide: Arabic rendering, languages, commission, setup time and total price.
Digital menus for restaurants, cafés and hotels in Damascus, Aleppo, Latakia and Homs: written in Arabic, with English and Turkish for visitors and the returning diaspora, and prices updated from your phone as they change.
Use a QR menu written in Arabic and laid out right to left, with English and Turkish for visitors, where you change prices from your phone the day they move. doXmenu does this for 12.99€ a month on the yearly plan, with the first month free and no card needed to start. You print the QR code locally.
When costs move weekly, a paper menu is out of date the day it is printed. Change any price from your phone and every table sees it at once.
Write the menu in Arabic, laid out right to left, and add English and Turkish for visitors, aid workers and the diaspora from the same QR code.
Guests scan with the camera and the menu opens in the browser, on older Android phones as well as iPhones. Nothing to download, and photos load only as the guest scrolls.
Upload photos or a PDF of your current menu and AI builds a draft in a few minutes, translated into your other menu languages. You check it and publish.
All 24 menu languages are included in the price. Guests switch language with one tap, and a line you correct by hand stays as you wrote it.
The subscription is 12.99€ a month on the yearly plan, first month free, no card needed to start; write to us on WhatsApp if paying by card from Syria is difficult. Your own menu shows prices in any currency you type and you change them from your phone as they move, which is the main reason to switch.
Where it pays off first: Damascus restaurants in Malki, Mezzeh and the Old City serving Arabic, English and Turkish guests, including the returning diaspora and international staff; Aleppo and Homs family restaurants that change prices often; and Latakia and Tartus seasonal venues that switch summer menus on and off without reprinting.
Four steps from sign-up to the first guest reading your menu. Every change after that is live on every table at once.
No single QR menu is best for every venue, so compare the same points on each one: Arabic laid out right to left, how many languages and whether they are translated, allergens on every dish, how freely you can design it, and the yearly price with everything included. doXmenu’s answers: Arabic, English and Turkish among 24 menu languages, the 14 allergens by name, 16 font styles and 70 colour palettes with your own logo, and 12.99€ a month on the yearly plan with the first month free.
