AR restaurant menu, no app

Every dish on the table in 3D from a QR code. We scan your dishes on site in Lebanon and the Gulf, build the models and host the menu.

How it works

Three steps from visit to table

  1. We come to you. A MoonDev team visits your restaurant with the scanning kit. No kitchen closure and no special lighting: we work before opening or during a quiet service.
  2. We scan your dishes. Each dish is plated as you serve it and captured in about five minutes. The scans become life-size 3D models that we clean, colour-match and load into your branded menu.
  3. Guests scan the QR and see the dish in AR. One QR code per table. Guests open it with their camera app, the menu loads in the browser, and every dish can be placed on the table. No app, no download.

Nothing changes in your kitchen or your POS. Tableside is one of the things we build with WebAR.

What Tableside includes

  • A branded menu with photos, prices and descriptions, opened from a QR code in the browser.
  • Each dish as a life-size 3D model the guest can place on the table and turn around.
  • Dietary filters, allergens, and English and Arabic with right-to-left layout.
  • Orders sent to your WhatsApp, with no commission.
  • Optional AI waiter that answers guests' questions, and a stamp-card loyalty program.
  • Hosting, updates and support from MoonDev.

Features and plans are on tableside.moondev.io. For hotels and restaurant groups we also run it fully done for you: professional dish photography, every model refined, a custom theme, full menu setup and a dedicated launch manager.

What affects the price

  • Number of dishes. Every dish is scanned and modelled individually, so the menu size sets most of the setup work.
  • Markerless or image tracking. Markerless AR places the dish on any table. Image tracking makes it appear on your printed menu and needs extra setup per page.
  • Photography. Phone-quality captures are included. Professional dish photography is an option for fine dining and hotels.
  • Branches. Multi-branch groups share one dish library with a QR set per branch, so each additional branch costs less than the first.
  • Update cadence. A fixed menu needs little upkeep. Seasonal or weekly changes are planned as a monthly service.

The monthly plan is published on Tableside. The scanning is quoted per dish: send us your menu and we reply with a breakdown.

Pair it with a 360° tour

The AR menu sells the dish at the table. A 360° virtual tour sells the table before the guest arrives: rooms, terrace and private dining, walkable from Google Maps, your site and your booking page. We shot both for restaurants in Lebanon, including Babelmina in Byblos, and can capture the tour on the same visit as the dish scans.

FAQ

AR restaurant menu: questions

Do guests need to download an app to see the AR menu?

No. Tableside runs in the phone's browser. Guests scan the QR code on the table with their camera app, the menu opens in Safari or Chrome, and the AR view of each dish loads from there. There is nothing to install and no account to create.

What is the difference between an AR menu and a QR digital menu?

A QR digital menu opens a PDF or a web page with text and photos. An AR menu opens a web page too, but lets the guest place a life-size 3D model of the dish on the table and look at it from every side. The guest sees portion size, plating and texture before ordering instead of guessing from a photo.

How are the dishes scanned, and do we need to close the kitchen?

No closure. We come to your restaurant in Lebanon with the scanning kit, before opening or during a quiet service. Each dish is plated as you serve it and captured in about five minutes, so a full menu is usually done in one visit. We clean and colour-match the 3D models afterwards and load them into your branded menu. Restaurants in the Gulf start with a video call and we schedule the visit from there.

What happens when the menu changes?

You update text, prices and availability in Tableside yourself, and the QR codes on the tables keep working because the link never changes. New dishes need a short scanning session, which we schedule so the update goes live on the day you switch the menu.

Can the AR menu show allergens, prices and Arabic?

Yes. Each dish carries the name, description, price, allergens and dietary filters such as vegan, halal and gluten-free. The menu is published in English and Arabic with right-to-left layout, and currency and formatting follow your market, so the same setup works in Lebanon, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Does it replace our POS, and can guests order from it?

It replaces the PDF or QR menu, not your POS. Guests can send an order to your WhatsApp from the menu, with no commission on orders, and your staff handle it from there. Deeper POS integration is scoped per project.

How much does an AR restaurant menu cost in Lebanon?

Two parts. The monthly plan for the hosted menu is published on tableside.moondev.io and depends on which features you turn on. The one-time AR scanning is quoted per dish, so the number of dishes sets most of it; branches, professional photography and how often the menu changes affect the rest. Multi-branch groups share one dish library, so a second branch with the same menu costs much less than the first. Send us the menu and we reply with a per-dish and per-branch breakdown.
