# SpoonCub vs MenuTab: Which Simple Restaurant Ordering System Is Better?

MenuTab-style tools publish a menu for guests, often by QR or a social page. SpoonCub is the opposite: your staff take the order.

MenuTab is a guest menu, not a staff POS. Products under that name let people publish a menu, sometimes with QR or a Facebook page, and sometimes take an online order. SpoonCub never hands the menu to the guest as the ordering screen.



Use a digital menu when you want guests to browse dishes on their own phone and you are happy to receive those orders. Use SpoonCub when a waiter, cashier, or the owner must control the ticket: table, items, discount, payment mode, and close.



SpoonCub's menu is for staff only. Veg and non-veg are marked so the floor does not guess. There is no public QR menu in the product. That is a limit if your goal is contactless guest ordering. It is the point if your goal is fewer wrong tickets.



# The one question that settles it



Who should tap the order: the guest, or your staff? Guest menu tools and SpoonCub answer that differently. A small restaurant that already has someone taking orders does not need both on day one.
