Popmenu pricing (2026): what each plan costs a restaurant, add-ons included
Popmenu has three restaurant plans: Starter at $179 a month, Essentials at $299 and Premier at $499 paid monthly, or $159, $269 and $449 a month prepaid for a year. Online ordering is an add-on, and each online order carries a flat $1 fee.

- Online ordering and catering are add-ons on every plan, and Popmenu charges a flat $1 per online order.
- Text messages start on Essentials (500) and reservations with a waitlist are included only on Premier.

Who is Popmenu for?
Popmenu suits a full-service restaurant that wants one company to run its website, email, texts and reviews, and can budget close to $2,000 a year or more for it. Premier makes most sense for a busy place that takes reservations and runs a waitlist. A small café that mainly needs a clean menu online pays for much it will not use; our free menu maker is a place to start.
