Cafe menus that change with the hour, not with a marker pen

Brunch until noon, all-day after, last coffee at nine. Set the times once and the menu manages itself — on the counter board, on the table QR and in the window.

Counter to table

One list behind the board, the tent and the window

Cafes run three menus at once without meaning to: the board behind the counter, the card on the table and whatever is chalked in the window. When they disagree, the queue finds out. Generating all three from one list removes the problem.

  • Sizes and milk options priced as modifiers, not extra lines
  • Brunch and all-day sections that switch on the clock
  • Bakes marked sold out from behind the counter
  • Tall board layout exported alongside the QR menu
  • Bean origin and tasting notes where they belong

Cafe features

Made for a drinks-led menu

The parts of a cafe menu that generic tools get wrong.

Modifiers, not duplicates

One latte with sizes and milks attached, instead of six near-identical rows.

🕔

Automatic day parts

Brunch ends at noon on its own. Nobody has to remember to rub anything out.

📜

Counter board export

A tall, legible board layout generated from the same items as the phone menu.

🚫

Sold-out bakes

The last croissant goes at 3 pm. Grey it out and it returns tomorrow morning.

🌱

Bean detail

Origin, roast and notes for the guests who read them, hidden from the ones who do not.

🎁

Coffee-and-a-bake combos

Offer the pairing at the moment someone is choosing a drink, priced automatically.

Setup

Ready before tomorrow’s first pour

1

Add your drinks

Enter each drink once and attach sizes and milk alternatives as priced options.

2

Set your day parts

Tell us when brunch stops and when the kitchen closes. Sections handle themselves.

3

Print the board and tents

A tall counter board, table tents and a window card, all from the same list.

4

Watch the peaks

Scan data shows your real rush hours, which is usually not when you think it is.

Running a cafe menu

What works on a cafe menu, and what slows the queue

The queue reads the board, the table reads the phone

These are two different jobs. The board needs six words per line and prices readable from four metres. The phone menu can carry tasting notes, allergens and photos. Same items, different density — which is why generating both from one list beats designing them separately.

Do not make people do arithmetic

“Latte 220, large 260, oat 250, large oat 290” is four lines that could be one. A base price with clearly priced options reads faster and makes the upgrade feel like a small decision rather than a different purchase.

Put brunch on a timer

  • It ends at the same time every day, so automate it
  • Guests stop asking for eggs at 3 pm
  • Your kitchen stops having the same conversation forty times a week

Sell the second item, not a bigger first one

Most cafe upselling fails because it pushes a larger coffee. The reliable win is the bake attached to the drink — higher margin, easier yes, and it does not make anyone jittery. Attach it as a suggestion on the drink itself rather than hoping people scroll to the bakes section.

Photograph the food

Coffee photographs badly and identically. Brunch plates and pastries photograph beautifully and carry the margin. That is where your photography budget goes; see cafe templates for layouts built around it.

FAQ

Questions we get asked most

Can I show different menus for morning and evening?

Yes. Put a time window on any section and it appears and disappears on its own. Brunch until noon is the most common setup.

How do sizes and milk options work?

Each drink is entered once, and sizes and milks attach as priced options rather than as separate menu lines — so the menu stays short.

Can I print a counter board?

Yes. A tall board layout exports from the same item list as the table QR menu, so the two always agree.

What about a cafe that serves alcohol after 6 pm?

Add an evening section with its own time window, or run a second menu on the same code that opens at your licence hour.

Can staff mark bakes as sold out?

Yes, and you can give them permission to do only that — toggling availability without the ability to change prices.

Is there a free plan for a single cafe?

Yes. One outlet with a full menu, a QR code and unlimited views costs nothing.
