Questions operators ask first

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.

No. Guests scan the code and the menu opens in their phone's browser - no app, no login.

Yes. Change a price in Kalanteer and guests see it within about a minute. Same QR code, no reprinting.

Mark it as stopped and it disappears from the guest menu within about a minute. Switch it back on when it's back.

Yes, one photo per dish - JPEG, PNG, WebP or GIF, up to 5 MB. Photos are part of the free menu.

One QR code for your whole venue, as a PNG ready to print. Guests scan it and your menu opens in their browser.

Yes. Mark the EU's 14 allergens on each dish and guests see them on the menu. With Sous-Chef, Kalanteer suggests them from each dish's recipe - you confirm.

Sous-Chef (€9.99/mo) runs the kitchen: recipe costing, invoice scanning, stock counts, supplier orders, waste and prep. Chef (€19.99/mo) adds the money side: sales from a connected POS, till and card checks, a daily P&L, nightly alerts and Karl, the AI chef, on your own AI key. Executive Chef (€49.99/mo) adds what to do next: a weather-aware forecast, menu engineering, AI daily reports and review insights, with Karl on us. All three start with 3 free months.

Yes, with Kalanteer Cloud. From Sous-Chef, every dish is costed from your own recipes and what you pay suppliers, with the margin next to its price. The free menu has no cost numbers - the estimates you see while you build are a rough guide.

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.

Take a photo of the invoice or upload the PDF. AI reads the lines into a draft purchase, you check it and confirm, and stock and recipe costs update. We switch it on for your venue.

Card checks work with Revolut card terminals. Till checks compare each drawer with the end-of-day close from your POS.

Google and TripAdvisor, synced daily, with a short summary of what keeps coming up. Reviews come with Executive Chef.

In Kalanteer, as browser notifications, and in Telegram for stockouts, if you link it. Alerts come with Chef.

Karl is the AI chef that comes with Chef and Executive Chef: ask about your numbers in plain words. On Chef, Karl uses your own Anthropic API key, so you pay Anthropic directly. On Executive Chef, Karl runs on our key, with no AI bill. Either way, Karl only sees what your role in Kalanteer is allowed to see.

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

No - Kalanteer runs in the browser and needs a connection. The one exception is the handheld barcode scanner: it keeps counting offline, and you send the count once you're back online.

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.

Kalanteer is in 25 languages, including English, Portuguese, Spanish, French and German. Each person picks their own.

Yes, with any Kalanteer Cloud plan. Add people with a role - Store Manager, Store Employee or one you make yourself - and choose what each role can see and do. There's no limit on users.

Yes. Each venue gets its own Kalanteer, with its own address and its own logins.

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.

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

With any Kalanteer Cloud plan, export your tables as CSV or PDF: menu items with cost and margin, recipes, stock counts, waste, purchases, sales and reports.

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.

Each venue's data is kept apart from every other venue's. Passwords are stored hashed, logins for other services are encrypted, and an account locks after several wrong passwords.
