Put it on a page instead. One code on the table, and customers see today's dishes at today's prices — then send you the order already written out.
No card. No trial clock. It stays free for as long as it is useful to you.
You get a table tent as a print-ready PDF, a code as an image for your WhatsApp status, and a vector file to hand a print shop. Fold the tent, put it on the table, and you are done with printing for good.
Rename your page later and the old code keeps working. We remember your last five addresses.
Nothing to install, no account to make, no delivery app taking a cut. The page opens in the browser already on their phone, and it opens fast on a bad connection because there is almost nothing to load.
Sold out of tilapia? Switch it off and it is gone from the page. Beef went up? Change the price once. Customers see what you are actually serving, at what you are actually charging, which is the one thing a photo of a board can never do.
This is the real page, at the size it appears in someone’s hand.
On the free plan it lands on your WhatsApp as a message you can read at a glance — every item, every choice, quantities and a total. Nobody has to ask "sorry, how many?" over the noise of a Friday night.
The Osu tent points at Osu. The East Legon tent points at East Legon. The order reaches the kitchen the customer is actually sitting in, because the branch is in the address — we never guess it for you.
A tent on the table reaches the people already in the room. These four reach everyone else, and every one of them is on the free plan.
A customer sends your menu to somebody who has never been in your dining room — one tap, into the app they were already in.
A regular saves the page to their home screen. It opens like an app, and you never had to build one or ask anyone to install anything.
One dish can be forwarded on its own, and each one is submitted to search engines — “waakye near Osu” is a search your menu page alone would never win.
How many people opened your page this week, on every plan including the free one. If nobody has yet, that is worth knowing too.
All three are waiting the moment your page exists, all three carry your address, and all three have the EatryCloud mark in the middle so a customer can tell a real code from a sticker someone put over yours.

How to put it together
Table tent (PDF) — three A4 pages: two identical faces to print double-sided, and a sheet of six cards for takeaway bags and the counter. The fold and cut lines are labelled on the page, and the steps print below the cut so they go in the bin with the off-cut.
For a WhatsApp status, an Instagram post, a flyer, or the window. The place most of your customers will meet it first is a phone screen, not a table.
Hand this one to a print shop. It scales to a banner without going blurry, so the same code works on a business card and on the wall.
Before you pay for printing: scan your own code with a real phone. If your address is still a test one, or the page is switched off, you will only find out when a customer tells you.
Not a trial. Not a demo. Not free until you have too many customers. The menu page is how most restaurants meet us, and it stays on whether or not you ever pay us anything.
The page itself does not get better when you pay. What changes is where the order goes after the customer taps the button.
You read the message and key it in
The order arrives on WhatsApp fully written out. You type it into your till, or write it down. For a lot of restaurants this is the whole job, done.
The order lands in your Orders list — and says so
The customer taps Place order and it appears in the app the moment it is sent: the list refreshes itself, a badge on Orders counts what is waiting, and a chime sounds if you switch it on. Nothing reaches the kitchen until someone on your side says yes — anyone who can photograph your table tent can send an order.
WhatsApp takes the order for you
The button hands the exact basket to your WhatsApp bot, which opens at the payment step with their items and options already loaded. They never browse the menu twice.
One thing about money, and two ten-second habits that keep the page true.
Customers pay you at the counter, or on delivery, exactly as they do now — and the page says so during checkout, so nobody arrives believing they have already paid. On the free plan that is the whole story: no card is asked of anyone, theirs or yours.
The page shows what you tell it — nothing watches your kitchen for you. One switch in Admin > Menu and the dish is off the page until you bring it back.
The page is set like a menu board, so a dish without a photo looks deliberate, not broken. Adding one is a tap on the square in the item editor and a pick from your camera roll.
Your restaurant name, your WhatsApp number, and the dishes you are serving. That is the whole setup. The code prints straight after.
Everything on this page is free. The rest of EatryCloud — POS, kitchen display and MoMo payments — is there when you want it.
