I love traveling and enjoying good food. But often, when I ended up in a café in an unfamiliar country, I received a paper menu in a language I don’t know. No photos, stickers plastered over old prices, sometimes — allergens you can’t guess. In a big city you can turn around and go to the next place. But if you’re just passing through a small town and stopped only to eat, where only one café is open — you pull out your phone, open a translator and try to figure out what’s in front of you. The translation is literal, without context, the meaning is lost, dish names turn into a jumble of overlapping words. And if the internet is poor — photo translation drags on forever. Haven’t you noticed this? It happens all the time. Don’t you want your guests to feel comfortable ordering in your place?


I’ve seen different kinds of “digital” menus. Sometimes a QR opens a huge PDF: one page — one language, the next — another, the third — a third. Sometimes a restaurant chain has one website and one QR for everything, and after scanning you are asked to “choose city and street.” Why can’t the QR be tied directly to the specific venue? I’m here for the first time, I don’t even know the street, I came to eat...

There are decent online menus too: nice visuals, groups and categories, but there are always caveats — translations are clumsy or missing, or the interface is complicated. Somewhere a service ad pops up, somewhere photos don’t load, somewhere the site is plainly slow, and somewhere I was even greeted with a sign saying the scan limit had been reached.


After studying enough competitors I assembled a team and we started building something new and modern to make a professional menu management tool accessible to every café and restaurant. There is a free plan for small places with a 25-item limit per menu, and beyond that it has no restrictions, no ads, no traffic limits, etc.


Gradually the idea of Restsify emerged, focused on the key features:

  1. Translations that preserve meaning. We use modern AI (gpt-5, fine-tuned on culinary data), so dish names and cooking methods sound natural in the target language, not like a literal list of words.
  2. A short, memorable address. Each menu gets its own short personal domain. We have over 20 domains across regions so your address looks neat and professional.
  3. Thoughtful design without the clutter. At launch there are three templates easy to customize to your brand: colors, fonts, logo, background, covers. Change them anytime — updates apply instantly.
  4. Ad-free QR code. You get a clean page with no service banners. The focus is entirely on your menu.
  5. Convenient for guests and owners. Dish photos, clear descriptions, schedule support (for example, for breakfasts), allergen marks. Everything updates in seconds.
  6. Fast and reliable. We scale servers to handle load — menus load quickly even with poor internet and heavy scan traffic.
  7. No limits on traffic and scans. As many guests as you have, that many views. No attendance limits.


When creating Restsify, we looked primarily through the eyes of a guest reading a menu. So your guests won’t struggle because of language. So a person with allergies can quickly understand the ingredients. So the menu loads quickly. So an owner can update prices, photos and availability without pain.


Thus, in mid-2025 Restsify was born.

The menu is just the beginning of our journey.
