AI + AR menus · QR-ready in minutes
Let the dish introduce itself.
Mealar turns every plate on your menu into a photorealistic 3D object guests can spin, zoom, and place on their own table — before they ever order it.

Guests decide with their eyes.
A flat menu describes food in prose. A plated menu presents it. Mealar sits between your kitchen and your guest, rendering every dish as a real-world-scaled 3D model that lives on the table through the phone they already carry.
“Appetite begins with the eye — not with the font size.”
This is an actual meal. Turn it.
Three moves. Seven minutes. One running restaurant.
- 01
Upload a photograph.
Any clean overhead shot of the dish is enough. The kitchen handles the rest — image moderation, food detection, and 3D generation run automatically.
- 02
Set your real plate size.
Enter the bowl diameter or plate dimensions once. Every 3D model auto-scales to those measurements — so the AR preview on the guest's table matches the real portion you serve.
- 03
Print the QR. Go live.
A QR sits on each table, another on each menu card. Guests scan. The dish appears. No install, no friction, no aftertaste.
What's on every plate.
Included in all plans — no line items in fine print.

Guest analytics

What restaurant teams say.
“Guests hold the meal in their hand before the waiter arrives. The line at the door moves noticeably faster — especially on the kebab side.”
“We used to explain the mezze menu five times per table. Now the phone does it. Side orders went up; so did the calm in the dining room.”
“Tourists pick with confidence because they actually see what they order. Dessert attach rate jumped within the first week.”
Composite feedback from early-access restaurants — real names on request.
The proof, on the record.
Faster ordering
When guests see the dish in 3D, they choose quicker — and the line at the door moves with them.
More likely to buy
Shopify 2023 — shoppers who engage with AR are 94% more likely to purchase than those who don't.
Higher cart value
Recognised plates get ordered. Add-ons, sides, and second rounds rise when the picture is real.
AR swings the decision
66% of consumers say they are more likely to buy when they can see a product in AR (Google, Think With Google).
Setup, end to end
From signing up to your first live QR — no agency, no installation, no invoice.
Visual vs text speed
The human brain processes images 60,000× faster than text. Menu decisions are made in about 3 seconds (MIT / 3M).
Before you order.
Do my guests need to install an app?
No. Mealar opens in any phone browser. Guests scan the QR, tap a dish, and view the 3D model — iOS and Android, no install required.
How long does it take to set up?
Most restaurants go from signup to first live QR in under fifteen minutes. Upload your menu or photos, let the AI handle translations and 3D, print your QR codes.
Can I start without a credit card?
Yes. The Free tier lets you create a menu and share a QR without any card. 3D model generation requires a paid plan — upgrade any time once you're ready.
What languages are supported?
Menus can hold 20+ languages. AI auto-translates into up to 5 languages per plan, with human review available on request. The dashboard itself runs in Turkish, English, Arabic, and Norwegian (with full RTL for Arabic).
Can I import my paper menu?
Yes. Snap a photo of your physical menu and the AI pulls out dishes, prices, and descriptions. You then edit and refine before going live.
Will the plate really appear at the right size?
Yes. Each model is rescaled to the real bowl diameter or plate dimensions you declare. The AR plate on the guest's table is the same size as the one in your kitchen — eliminating "portion didn't match expectation" complaints.
Is updating the menu hard?
No print shop. Change a price once in the dashboard and every QR is in sync the same second. The most expensive feature of printed menus — wrong prices — disappears.
Can competitors see my data?
No. Guest analytics are visible only to you and the people you authorize. Dish-level engagement data is never shared outside your account.
What happens if I cancel?
Cancel any time from your billing dashboard. Your QRs stop serving 3D the next billing cycle; your menu stays archived for three months so you can reactivate without losing content.
Who owns the 3D models?
You do. Every model generated from your photographs belongs to your restaurant and can be exported.
Will AR work on older phones?
3D preview works on every smartphone sold in the last five years. True-scale AR (placing the dish on the table) requires an ARCore-compatible Android or an iPhone 8 or newer.
