FAQ

Questions operators ask first

Straight answers on price, setup and your data. No small print.

Is the QR menu really free?

Yes. The QR menu and menu management are free forever - no credit card, no time limit. Guests see your dishes, photos, prices and allergen icons in one language. Kalanteer Cloud is the paid, optional part.

What happens after the 3 free months?

We'll remind you before they end. Then pick Sous-Chef (€9.99/mo), Chef (€19.99/mo) or Executive Chef (€49.99/mo) to keep going. Or do nothing: your account goes back to the free QR menu and your data stays.

Is there a contract? Can I cancel any time?

No contract. Plans are monthly, you can cancel any time, and there are no setup fees.

Do I need a POS?

No. The QR menu and Sous-Chef work on their own. On Chef, sales come in from a connected POS every few minutes - ask us if yours is supported.

Do I have to type everything in?

No. Import your menu from a photo, PDF or link, or build it from the dish library. In Kalanteer Cloud you add each recipe once - after that, deliveries and invoice photos keep the prices up to date.

What do I need to run it?

A phone, tablet or computer with a browser. No new hardware, nothing to install.

What happens to my data if I leave?

It stays yours. Cancel Kalanteer Cloud and your data is kept - your free QR menu keeps working. Leaving for good? Ask us and we'll delete it all.
