More detail
Updated 13 November 2026 · By Arslan Munir
In short: Menuthere's pricing page (read 13 November 2026) lists Starter $49, Growth $129 and Premium $249 a month, in US dollars, per location (Premium covers up to 3 locations), with 0% commission and a 14-day free trial. Chefzi lists Starter £12 a month (£9 billed annually), Plus £22 (£19) and Pro £49 (£39), per location, ex VAT, in pounds, with 0% commission, a first month free with no card, and month-to-month plans. Menuthere's own UK page also prices its Starter in US dollars ("US$49 plan").
Both sell an ordering website on your own domain at 0% commission, and both ring until you accept an order. The differences are price, currency, where the branded app sits, and what happens when your tablet goes offline. We make Chefzi, so we are not neutral; Menuthere facts are quoted from its own pages with the date.
