About Smart Menus
Smart Menus puts vendors' menus on WhatsApp for festivals, markets and pop-up events in South Africa. Customers scan a QR code to open a live menu, then browse, order and pay without leaving WhatsApp, with no app to download and no queue.
Payouts go to the vendor's own Payfast account. A live demo store on WhatsApp lets vendors try the system without signing up. It works for food and drink vendors. It operates with a small team of 2 to 10 people, according to LinkedIn.
