Can I display special offers or promotional prices in the QR menu?
Yes. Although Menivo doesn't have a field exclusively dedicated to a "special offer" as a distinct button, you can highlight special offers in the QR menu in several practical ways:
- Create a separate category called "Daily Offers", "Promotions" or "Happy Hour" and add products with reduced prices.
- Edit a product's description to explicitly mention the discount or the promotion period.
- Update the price directly on the existing product during the campaign, then revert it afterward.
- Use Menivo's digital flyer feature to create promotional visual materials with special prices.
This way, customers immediately see the available promotions as soon as they scan the QR code on the table.
Do I need to reprint the QR code if I change prices?
No, this is one of the most important benefits of a digital QR menu. The QR code generated by Menivo is permanent — it always directs to the same online menu of your restaurant. No matter how many times you modify prices, offers or products, the QR code remains the same and always displays the updated content in real time.

How do I create a "Special Offers" type category in Menivo?
The process is simple and takes under 2 minutes:
- Log into your Menivo account and select your restaurant.
- Navigate to the menu where you want to add the category.
- Press the add category button and enter the desired name (e.g., "Daily Offer", "Weekend Promotions").
- Add the desired products to this category, filling in the promotional price.
- Save — the category immediately appears in the menu.

How much does Menivo cost and is there a free plan?
Menivo offers flexible subscription plans, adapted for different types of restaurants — from small venues to chains with multiple locations. There's an affordable starter plan to test the platform, and premium plans unlock advanced features such as unlimited number of products, categories, and QR scans.
You can see the current prices and what each plan includes directly on menivo.io, in the subscriptions section. Registration is fast and you can start building your digital menu in just 5 minutes.
Can I display different prices for lunch menus versus dinner?
Yes. A practical method in Menivo is to create separate menus (e.g., "Lunch Menu" and "Dinner Menu"), each with its own categories and prices. You can activate or deactivate a menu based on the time interval, so that customers always see the correct prices at the time of scanning.
Alternatively, you can use a single category titled "Lunch Menu" with specific prices and another for dinner, within the same general menu.
Do I need to include allergen information next to prices?
Yes, according to current Romanian legislation, restaurants are required to display allergen information for each dish. Menivo allows you to add allergens directly to each product, right next to the price and description, so you're compliant with the law and customers have all the necessary information at a glance.
Learn more about the legal obligations and how to correctly add allergens in our dedicated article: Food allergens in restaurants – legal obligations in Romania.
Can I add nutritional information and calories alongside prices?
Absolutely. Menivo includes support for nutritional information, so you can display calories, protein, fat, and carbohydrates for each product in the menu, right next to the price. This is a feature especially appreciated by restaurants serving customers who are mindful of their diet.
Menivo also provides an integrated nutritional values calculator. Discover how to use it effectively in the article Nutritional Values Calculator for Menu | Menivo.
Can I modify prices and special offers from my mobile phone?
Yes. The Menivo interface is optimized for mobile devices, which means you can update prices and offers in the QR menu directly from your smartphone or tablet, without needing a laptop or computer. The change is published instantly, ideal for urgent situations — an ingredient ran out, a supplier's price changed, or you want to launch a last-minute promotion.
Is there a limit on the number of products or prices I can add?
The limits depend on the chosen subscription plan. Basic plans have a limited number of products per category, while premium plans offer unlimited products and categories. Regardless of the plan, the price of each product is a standard field included in all versions of the platform.
If your restaurant has an extensive menu, we recommend opting for a higher plan that can support growth. You can compare all the options on menivo.io.
