What MenuBase changes for Melaka operators
- Same-day setup: WhatsApp your menu, we deploy by end of service day one
- AOV uplift in week one

- Multi-outlet promo: one menu, one promo flag, every outlet
- Multilingual menu
- Honest pricing: RM28-99/month by menu size
What MenuBase does NOT do
We do not have automated POS integrations today. We do not push payments. We are a customer-facing menu + upsell layer. The waiter is the bridge between order capture and your existing POS. This is intentional - it is what makes same-day setup possible.
