In-room dining and QR menus for hotels
Qarte puts a QR code in every room and outlet. Guests scan it, read the menu in English or Arabic, and send an order that reaches the kitchen tagged with the room number. One system covers in-room dining, pool, spa and the property's restaurants, and the menu updates without reprinting a compendium. On top of that menu a hotel can add a guest-relations colleague on its own WhatsApp line and email address, which answers the questions the front desk fields all day — breakfast hours, wifi, parking, menu prices, where a guest's order has got to — and hands anything it may not answer to a member of staff.

Who Qarte is for
Independent restaurants, cafés and hotels that want their menu online and their customers their own. Qarte is not a delivery marketplace and does not take a share of orders; it is the venue's own storefront, ordering and menu system.

Frequently asked questions
What is Qarte?
Qarte is a QR-code digital menu and direct-ordering platform for restaurants, cafés and hotels. Diners scan a QR code at the table, in the room or on a poster and open the menu in their phone browser — no app download, no account — then order and pay directly with the venue instead of through a delivery aggregator.
How does a QR code menu work for a restaurant?
The restaurant uploads its menu once. Qarte generates a QR code for each table, room or poster. A diner points their phone camera at it and the menu opens in the browser — with photos, prices, allergens and translations. No app install is required on either side, and the restaurant edits the menu from a phone or laptop at any time.
Does a digital menu need an app?
No. Qarte menus open as a web page in the phone's own browser. Diners never install anything, and restaurants manage everything from a browser too.
How much does Qarte cost?
Qarte has a free plan that lasts indefinitely and covers up to 25 menu items, plus paid plans that add social posting, ordering and pay-at-table. Every paid plan starts with a 30-day free trial and setup is free. Prices vary by country — the current list is at https://qarte.online/pricing.
Does Qarte take a commission on orders?
No. Qarte is a flat monthly subscription. Orders placed through a Qarte menu go directly to the restaurant, which is the point — delivery aggregators typically take 20–30% of each order and own the customer relationship.
Does Qarte support Arabic menus?
Yes. Menus are bilingual English and Arabic, and the layout switches to right-to-left automatically. Qarte was built for the GCC market rather than translated into it.
Which countries does Qarte operate in?
Qarte is live in Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Morocco and France, and is expanding.
Can hotels use a QR code for in-room dining?
Yes. Qarte places a QR code in each room; guests scan it to see the in-room dining menu and place an order that arrives at the kitchen tagged with the room number. The same system covers pool, spa and restaurant menus across the property.
Can a hotel answer guest questions on WhatsApp automatically?
Qarte offers a guest-relations colleague: a named assistant on the property's own WhatsApp line and email address that answers repetitive guest questions — breakfast hours, wifi, parking, menu prices and the status of that guest's own order — from the hotel's menus, opening hours and written house facts. It starts on a setting where it cannot send anything: staff read and approve every reply before a guest receives it.
Will an AI assistant promise hotel guests something the hotel cannot deliver?
Qarte's guest-relations colleague may never quote a room rate, confirm or change a booking, promise a refund, discount or upgrade, commit staff to a delivery or arrival time, or state a fact the property has not written down. Those limits are enforced in the software rather than requested of the model, and anything covered by them is handed to a member of staff instead of answered.
