Your menu on every table. Every table on your phone.

One code on the table opens your menu, your Wi-Fi and a private note to you, with the table number on it. Made in Jeffreys Bay for South African restaurants.

One codeper table: the menu, the Wi-Fi, and a note to you.
No appfor diners to download. Any phone camera opens it.

One code. Three things every table wants.

The diner points their camera at the label. Your page opens in their browser, in your colours, with their table number on it.

The menu, always right

Change a price at eleven and it is right by lunch. Sold out greys out on every table.

A menu on a phone: mains with photos, prices, dietary tags and today's dish.

Wi-Fi, one tap away

Your guest Wi-Fi is a tab on the menu: the network, and a password that copies in one tap.

The Wi-Fi tab of the menu: network name, password and a copy button.

A note to you, not about you

Something to fix, or someone to thank. It comes to your phone, with the table number.

The Feedback tab: a private note to the restaurant, and a Google review button for everyone.
Three people at a wooden table with coffee, looking at their phones.

They are already at the table.

No app to download, no account, no waiting for a menu. The label does the introducing, and it never needs reprinting.

Hear it from table 6 while they are still at table 6.

A cold plate becomes a note on your phone, not a one-star review tonight. You walk over, fix it, and they leave happy.

  • A notification the moment it is sent. On your phone or computer, with the table number and what they wrote.
  • Reply if they want you to. A diner can leave a number or an email; one tap calls or mails them back.
  • An email too. Every note also lands in your inbox, so nothing depends on one phone.

Run it from your phone. Or your computer.

The staevi app goes on your Home Screen straight from the browser, on iPhone or Android. On a computer it is the same app, with room for your menu beside it. And it shows you how many tables opened your menu today.

What restaurant owners ask.

Something else? Email hello@staevi.com. A person answers.

Do my diners need to download anything?
No. They point the camera at the code and your menu opens in the browser they already have. No app and no account, on iPhone or Android.
What if a guest has no data?
They ask your staff for the Wi-Fi, as they would today. Everyone else scans and finds your network and password on the menu, one tap to copy.
Do I have to type the whole menu in myself?
No. Send a photo of your printed menu, or its PDF, from the app, and staevi types it in, usually within a day. You check every dish before it goes on. Or add them yourself: each dish is a name, a price and a photo if you want one. Change anything later and every table updates.
Can I mark vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal dishes, and allergens?
Yes. Tag each dish in the app and diners can filter the menu to what they can eat. Mark what a dish contains, like gluten, milk or nuts, and diners see it when they open the dish. You set them, and the menu tells diners to ask your staff about allergies.
What happens to the code when I change the menu?
Nothing. The code opens your page, not a copy of it. Change a price, add a dish, take the winter menu off, and the labels on the tables stay the same.
Can one account run more than one restaurant?
Yes. Each restaurant has its own menu, labels and notes, and you switch between them in the app.
Can diners order or pay through it?
Not today. staevi is the menu, the Wi-Fi and a private line to you. Your waiters still take the order.
Is the menu really free?
Yes, for every restaurant, café, bar and tavern, with no time limit and no card asked for. staevi is paid by brands that want to be on menus, which you choose, and by restaurants that want Pro.
What about festivals and big events?
A menu has a daily limit of opens: 300 on the free menu, 1,500 on Pro. Going over never switches it off that day; from the next day it pauses for three days unless it has an Event pass: no limit for four days, R2,500, paid once in the app. Running a whole festival, with every stall, a sponsor’s scratch card and promotions? Email hello@staevi.com.
What does Pro add, and how do I pay?
Table bookings and your own scratch card, for R249 a month. You turn it on in the app and pay by card on Payfast’s secure checkout; your card details never reach staevi. Month to month: stop it in the app any time, and your menu stays on.
I run a guesthouse, not a restaurant.
staevi started as a guest portal for guesthouses, and it still works for the guesthouses using it. It is not what we are selling right now. If you have an account, sign in from the link at the bottom of this page.

For brands

Your brand on the menu, right when they choose.

Wine farms, breweries, coffee roasters and local producers work with staevi to be on its restaurants’ menus: a featured line under the dishes, or the prize on a free scratch card. Restaurants opt in, and you get one report.
