DOPEST.menu: QR menu with video for restaurants that raises the average check
Guests watch the dishes instead of reading descriptions. They decide faster, order more, and your staff gets more time to serve.
A description like "beef tenderloin in green peppercorn sauce" works worse than five seconds of video showing the sauce running over the meat. DOPEST.menu is a digital menu where every item has a short clip. Guests scan a QR code on the table, browse the menu like a phone feed, and choose with their eyes.
This isn't a PDF behind a QR code. The menu runs in the browser with no app to install, loads in a second, and shows current prices, allergens and availability. You make changes yourself in the dashboard, in a minute, with no reprinting.
We film the dishes on site with the DOPEST.video crew, so they look the way they do on the table, not in a catalog. The full package, from filming to a working menu, usually launches within a week.
What we do
- 01
Video menu for restaurants
A menu on the guest's phone where every dish has a video. Categories, search, allergen and diet filters, multiple languages.
- 02
Dish filming and photography
A one-day shoot in your kitchen. Shots of the finished dish, motion, detail. You can reuse the footage for social media and your website too.
- 03
QR codes and table materials
Stands, stickers and table inserts with a QR code styled to your venue. Guests scan and see the menu instantly, no install, no login.
- 04
Ordering and table-side payment
Optional: order and pay from the phone, with notifications sent straight to the kitchen and bar. Less running around, fewer mistakes.
- 05
Management dashboard
Prices, availability, daily specials and seasonal items changed in a minute. Stats on what guests watch, what they order, and when.
- 06
Menus for hotels, cafes and food halls
Versions for room service, fast-turnover cafes and venues with multiple locations. One menu, many locations.
How we work
- 01
Consultation and dish selection
We decide which items to film first: the highest-margin dishes, and the ones guests rarely order because they don't know what they are.
- 02
Shoot day at your venue
We arrive with a crew and equipment. Your kitchen plates the dishes, we film. Usually one day covers 30 to 50 items.
- 03
Menu setup
We build the menu with prices and allergens, set the language and match your venue's style. We deliver QR codes and table materials.
- 04
Measurement and growth
After the first month you see which dishes gained. We add seasonal items without a new shoot for the whole menu.

Frequently asked questions
- How much does a QR video menu cost?
- A starter package with a video shoot for a few dozen dishes and menu setup is a one-time cost of a few thousand PLN (roughly EUR 700 and up), plus a small monthly fee for the dashboard and hosting. We give an exact quote after discussing your dish count and number of locations.
- Do guests need to install an app?
- No. The menu opens in the phone's browser after scanning the QR code with the camera. It works on iPhone and Android, no login, no download.
- How much does a video menu increase sales?
- In venues we work with, guests more often choose dishes shown on video and are more likely to add sides, starters and desserts. The scale depends on the cuisine and venue, so after the first month we show you data from your own menu, not industry averages.
- How fast can the menu launch?
- Usually within a week of the shoot. We schedule the shoot day itself around a time that doesn't disrupt service, most often before opening.
- Can I change prices and items myself?
- Yes. The dashboard runs in the browser. Changing a price, hiding an unavailable dish, or adding a daily special takes a minute and updates for guests instantly.
- Does the menu work in multiple languages?
- Yes. The menu switches to match the guest's phone language, or manually. We prepare the translations as part of setup, and the video doesn't need translating at all.
