MenuTiger and Aftertaste both put your menu behind a QR code, but they are built for different jobs. MenuTiger is an ordering tool: guests scan, order and pay from the table. Aftertaste is a photo-first menu: every dish has its own photo, and you can change the menu by sending a text. Here is how to pick.
