What UpMenu says its products do
From 9 posts on UpMenu's own blog, read 12 Oct 2026. Each sentence is UpMenu's claim in our words, numbered to the post it comes from. We have not used these systems.
What UpMenu says about its online ordering
UpMenu says its online ordering system lets customers order for delivery or pickup from a restaurant's website or branded mobile app.8 It says the ordering page can also work as a basic website for a venue.6 UpMenu says a venue can build a site in its drag-and-drop website builder, or add ordering to a website it already has.6 It says it builds a branded iOS and Android app for a restaurant with no coding, and handles the publishing to Google Play and the Apple App Store.56 UpMenu says its availability settings let a venue decide the time, place and way each menu item is sold.9 UpMenu says guests can search the menu and edit items after adding them to the cart.9 It says menu items and categories can be shown on some sales channels and hidden on others.9
On our rate card UpMenu: From £41 per location a month; commission: 0%.
What UpMenu says about QR code ordering
UpMenu says a venue can generate a QR code for each table or zone that sends guests to its online menu and ordering page.6 It says QR code ordering for dine-in service is easy to set up.6 UpMenu says a venue can change the colours of its QR code menu to match its branding.9
What UpMenu says about payments, tips and tax
UpMenu says online payment options include Stripe, PayPal, PayU, Adyen, Apple Pay and Google Pay.1 UpMenu says its software includes online payment processing, POS integration and automatic printing of kitchen tickets.8 It says automatic gratuity sets a minimum tip as a percentage of the order.9 It says guests can raise that tip or enter their own amount, but not go below the minimum.9 UpMenu says a processing fees feature lets a venue add percentage or fixed fees to online orders.9 UpMenu says a tax module added in July 2026 lets a venue set different rates for delivery, packaging, tips, fees and products.9
What UpMenu says about its POS
UpMenu says its POS is cloud based and built for independent restaurants and small chains.4 It says the POS runs on an iPad, which keeps setup quick and hardware costs low.4 UpMenu says staff can take orders and payments, manage the menu and tables, run reports, and bring in direct online and marketplace orders from the same system.4 It says its handheld POS also covers dine-in table assignment and a kitchen display.3 UpMenu's own cafe POS write-up lists no ingredient level inventory tracking as a limit.2
Recent and upcoming POS changes at UpMenu
UpMenu says an April 2026 update added a manager PIN check for price changes, voids, bill edits and manual discounts.9 It says staff can also override product and add-on prices in the POS cart and give each item a course number.9 UpMenu lists an all-in-one restaurant POS, a kitchen display module and a self-service kiosk module as coming soon, with the last two due in November 2026.9
What UpMenu says about delivery, marketplaces and printers
UpMenu says order aggregation brings orders from several channels into one place.5 It says its delivery tools assign drivers, follow each delivery live and suggest routes.59 UpMenu says orders from Wolt and Just Eat, including Takeaway.com and Lieferando, can be managed inside UpMenu.9 It says a Toast integration sends website orders straight into Toast.9 UpMenu says an API lets it connect to restaurant POS systems and outside delivery services.8 UpMenu says its aggregation, delivery management and POS-ready workflows let a restaurant handle its own, direct and marketplace orders in one place.7 UpMenu says it prints orders automatically on Eatabit printers and lists the Sunmi Cloud Kitchen Printer in its printer settings.9
What UpMenu says about loyalty and marketing
UpMenu says it also offers loyalty programs, which it says are meant to lift in-house and online orders.8 It says its cafe POS comes with built-in loyalty and rewards.2 UpMenu says it sends targeted SMS and email promotions, with the aim of more repeat orders.5 It says reminder messages go to guests who have not ordered for a set number of days.1
