What the 30-day trial includes and what changes when you pay

What you already have during the trial, what happens on day 31 and what each plan adds. No card, no surprises.

What the trial includes

You pick Essential or Pro and use the full plan for 30 days, not a demo: your stable QR code, View Mode, unlimited items, menu import from a photo or PDF and Mise, the AI assistant. One trial per account, no card required.

What happens when it ends

If you have not added a payment method by day 30, your account is paused: the menu goes offline and new orders stop, but nothing is deleted. When you choose a plan, everything comes back exactly as it was.

The 30% discount

If you add a payment method before day 30, you get 30% off your first 2 paid months. It is applied automatically, no coupons.

Essential vs Pro once you pay

Essential (US$11.99/month) includes up to 2 restaurants, Tray Mode and WhatsApp orders that arrive in your restaurant chat. Pro (US$14.99/month) adds Integrated Checkout with orders landing straight in your dashboard, a waiter app, a kitchen display, 20 AI image credits with your first Pro invoice (not during the trial) and room for up to 4 restaurants.

Charging your guests

TuMenu does not process diner payments: each order records the payment method the guest chose (cash, transfer, card at the venue) and you collect as you always have. Stripe is used only for your TuMenu subscription.
