Why credit-based pricing works for restaurants
No monthly plans you do not use. Buy credits when you need premium features — custom domains, extra storage — and spend only what your business needs.

Traditional SaaS charges every restaurant the same monthly fee — whether you publish once a year or run five locations.
Eatery flips that model. The page builder, QR menus, and publishing tools are free to start. When you want premium add-ons, you buy credits and spend them only on what you use.
Custom domain? 50 credits per month while it is connected. Extra gallery storage? About 1 credit per 20 MB. No credits spent means no surprise bills.
That is especially important for seasonal businesses, new openings, and owners who want to test digital menus before committing to a big subscription.
