Restaurants start OwnCart with a free digital menu and table QR codes on day 1. In week 1 they upgrade to the Restaurant plan, connect Razorpay, WhatsApp and PetPooja or Positeasy, and set delivery.

Common questions
How long does it take to go live?
Your digital menu and table QR codes can be live the same day you upload your menu. Online ordering goes live once you connect payments (Razorpay), WhatsApp and, if you use one, your POS.
What is included in the free plan?
Upload a photo or PDF of your menu and OwnCart's AI builds your digital menu. You get a QR code for each table and a starter website, so guests can see your menu the same day. Upgrade to the Restaurant plan to take paid orders.
