How to Create a Digital Menu & Online Ordering Website for Your Restaurant
In short: Yes — you can create a digital menu (QR menu) and an online-ordering website for your restaurant or cafe in minutes, with no technical skills, in both Arabic and English, and with zero commission on orders. This guide covers the steps, the must-have features, and how to start with Jaicome.
What is a digital menu — and why your restaurant needs one
A digital menu is a QR-based menu your customer opens by scanning a code at the table or following a link. Items, prices, and photos appear instantly on their phone — replacing paper menus or hard-to-read PDF files that are slow to update.
But a modern digital menu is more than a list: it’s effectively a mini-website for your restaurant — a branded online-ordering page where customers browse, order, and pay in one smooth flow.
Why the switch matters:
- Recurring print costs for paper menus can be cut by 80%+, because edits to a digital menu are instant and free.
- Paper menus can’t be updated when an item runs out or a price changes; a digital menu updates in seconds.
- Mobile ordering is now expected by Saudi diners — not offering it means lost orders.
How to create a digital menu + online-ordering website in 3 steps
Creating a digital menu for your restaurant — or a website for a coffee shop — with Jaicome needs no developer and no designer:
- Add your items: Enter categories, items, prices, and photos from a simple dashboard, in Arabic and English.
- Brand it: Pick your brand colors and add your logo so the menu reflects your venue’s identity.
- Publish your QR code: Get a print-ready QR code for tables and stickers, plus a direct link you can share on Instagram, Google Maps, and WhatsApp.
That’s it — you now have a digital menu for your restaurant and an online-ordering system working around the clock.
Features every digital menu should have
When choosing a platform to create a digital menu, make sure it offers:
- A bilingual menu (Arabic + English) to serve every customer.
- Online ordering directly from the menu — dine-in, pickup, or delivery — connected to your kitchen.
- Zero commission on orders, so you keep all your profit.
- Instant edits to items, prices, and promotions anytime.
- POS and kitchen integration, so orders land on the screen instead of paper.
- SFDA compliance, such as calorie and ingredient disclosure.

Whether you run a restaurant, a coffee shop, or a food truck, creating a cafe website or a digital menu gives you the same advantages: an elegant digital drinks menu, table-side ordering, and seasonal promotions updated in moments.
