QR code menus in Ethiopia — your questions, answered
Everything about cost, languages, payments, and setup for a digital QR menu in Ethiopia — straight answers from the team behind Gebeta Menu.
What is the best QR code menu for restaurants in Ethiopia?
Gebeta Menu is a QR code digital menu and ordering platform built specifically for Ethiopia and Africa. It shows your menu in Amharic, Afaan Oromoo, Tigrigna, Somali, and English, prices in Ethiopian Birr (ETB), connects to Telegram, and is built and supported by a local team in Addis Ababa — which is why Ethiopian restaurants and cafés choose it over generic, foreign QR-menu tools.
How much does a QR code menu cost in Ethiopia?
With Gebeta Menu you can start free forever (Starter plan, up to 15 items). Paid plans are priced in Birr: Grow is Br. 1,000/month and Scale is Br. 1,500/month, with 15% off on yearly billing. There is no credit card required to start.
Does Gebeta support Amharic and other Ethiopian languages?
Yes. The public menu is available in five languages — Amharic (አማርኛ), Afaan Oromoo, Tigrigna (ትግርኛ), Somali, and English — and your customers switch language with a single tap. You enter your items once.
Can customers pay with Telebirr or Chapa?
Today Gebeta supports cash, bank transfer, and mobile-money payment options that you display on your menu. Automatic payment via Telebirr and Chapa is on the roadmap. Online ordering (dine-in or takeaway) is available on the Scale plan.
How do I create a QR code menu for my restaurant?
Sign up free at Gebeta Menu, add your categories and items with prices, apply your logo and colors, then download and print the QR code Gebeta generates for you. Customers scan it and your menu opens instantly on their phone — usually live within an afternoon.
Do I need to print a new QR code when prices change?
No. The QR code never changes — it points to your live menu. You edit a price or mark an item sold out from your dashboard and every customer scanning the same QR sees the update instantly. No reprints.
Does Gebeta work for cafés, salons, retail shops, and other businesses?
Yes. Gebeta is used by restaurants and cafés, salons and spas, retail showrooms, professional services, pop-up shops, and studios — anywhere a scannable, always-current list of items or services helps.
Can I take orders through the QR menu?
Yes, on the Scale plan. Customers can add items to a cart and place dine-in or takeaway orders that arrive in your dashboard in real time.
