What we hear most
These are the problems restaurants tell us about most.
“I’m still paying to reprint menus that are wrong by the weekend.”
The new ones are in the post and the old prices are still on every table.
“I change a sauce supplier and my allergen info is wrong by teatime.”
One out-of-date line on a printed menu is all it takes for a guest to get it wrong.
“I’m guessing what to put on next season’s menu.”
You plan around what the chef likes, not what guests actually look at.
A normal week, after you go live
Monday morning changed.
You change the lunch special from your phone in under a minute. It’s on every table before the first cover sits down. A guest from Berlin reads the whole menu in German without flagging anyone. By Friday you can see the sea bass starter is being viewed three times more than anything else. You put it in the window.

I changed our tartare sauce recipe and realised we’d been serving menus with the wrong allergen information for two weeks while the reprints were in the post. That’s not a mistake I can make twice. We went live on a Sunday. By Monday it was already running better than the old system.

You can be live in minutes. If you can use a smartphone, you can set up Octopus Menu — and Essential and Growth include a free onboarding session.

Yes. Change a price, add a special or pull a dish in under 60 seconds, from your phone. It’s live the moment you save — no reprint.

Never. Octopus Menu charges a flat monthly fee and takes no cut of anything you sell. No platform cut, no per-transaction fee, nothing hidden.
