Menu Online

A digital menu for restaurants that turns orders into ready-to-send WhatsApp messages, with no commission.

The problem

Small restaurants in Brazil and Portugal take most of their orders on WhatsApp, but the menu lives in a PDF or a photo, and every order arrives as a loose chat message. Delivery apps fix that by taking around 15% of each order.

What I built

I designed and built the whole product, from the landing page to billing.

  • Menu from a photo. The owner snaps the printed menu and AI (Claude and Gemini) writes the categories, dishes and prices.
  • Orders on WhatsApp. Customers fill a cart and send a formatted order straight to the restaurant's WhatsApp.
  • Delivery the owner's way. A fee per neighbourhood or per kilometre from the customer's postcode, plus minimum order and free delivery thresholds.
  • Runs itself. Opens and closes on schedule, and a dish is marked sold out in one tap.
  • Their own brand. Logo and colour, a link and QR code, an installable app with their icon, and a page per dish that Google can find.
  • Dashboard. Customers, latest orders and a monthly summary.

It is multi-tenant and in three markets (Brazil, Portugal and English). Building a menu is free, and publishing it is one monthly plan through Stripe, with card or recurring Pix.

Result

A restaurant goes from a paper menu to taking orders in minutes, for a flat €9.90 a month instead of a cut of every sale.
