  • Dashboard now shows a clear subscription-ended banner when a trial or paid plan expires, with a direct path back to Billing
  • Read-only menu editor banners now include a Pick a plan button so expired accounts can restart billing from the blocked editing screen

  • Dashboard warning banners no longer double up on menu editor and new-menu pages that already show a contextual editing message

v0.23.4

Monthly credits now grant on first paid subscription

Fixed
  • Subscribing directly to a paid plan (without going through a trial) now grants your plan's monthly AI credits immediately. Previously these were only granted on renewal, leaving returning customers and post-cancellation re-subscribers with zero credits until the next billing cycle

v0.23.3

Onboarding now offers your free trial

Added
  • After setting up your restaurant you land on a Start your free trial step: pick Basic, Pro, or Business, capture a card through Stripe Checkout, and your 14 days plus 5 AI credits start instantly. Skip if you want to look around first; the trial is always available from Billing

Login page polish

Changed
  • Login now has a more polished restaurant-focused layout with a custom mobile-menu hero image and clearer benefit-led sign-in flow

v0.23.1

Free menu extraction

Changed
  • Creating a menu (URL scrape, PDF, text paste, photo) no longer spends an AI credit: extraction is free. Credits are reserved for per-dish image generation and enhancement, where the real cost lives

v0.23.0

Analytics, Google review spotlight, multi-restaurant flow

Added
  • New Analytics page at /dashboard/analytics: see scans over time, unique guests, peak hours (so you know when to staff up), WiFi reveals, review click-through rate, and social clicks by platform. Last 7 / 30 days toggle
  • Bigger, more prominent “Leave us a Google review” button at the bottom of the public menu: still only shows when you've set a Google review URL in Settings
  • “Add restaurant” is live in the restaurant switcher: spin up additional venues under your account without leaving the dashboard. Blocked with a clear message when you're at your plan's restaurant limit
  • Trial banner at the top of the dashboard shows days remaining and turns red-urgent under 3 days so nobody is surprised by a card charge
Changed
  • Rebranded to <strong>Qtable</strong>: new name, new home at <strong>qtable.ai</strong>. Same product, sharper identity. Wordmark, page titles, social cards, PWA install name, and OTP/invitation emails all reflect the new brand
  • Support and contact emails moved to <strong>hello@qtable.ai</strong>; transactional mail now sends from <strong>noreply@qtable.ai</strong>
Fixed
  • Admin overview &ldquo;Restaurants&rdquo; stat now counts actual restaurants instead of organizations, and &ldquo;Active&rdquo; reflects restaurants currently editable on their plan
  • Admin section split into Overview and Users tabs, with Users paginated 50 at a time so the page stays fast as the platform grows
  • Admin link now appears in the dashboard sidebar for users with the admin role (hidden for everyone else)

v0.22.0

Plans, billing, and restaurant staff

Added
  • New Billing page at /dashboard/billing: see your current plan, AI credits remaining, and switch plans without leaving the app
  • 14-day free trial with 5 AI credits: capture a card through Stripe Checkout to start it
  • Four subscription tiers: Basic, Pro, Business, and Enterprise. Each is billed monthly or yearly, with a toggle in the plan picker
  • &ldquo;Manage billing&rdquo; opens the Stripe customer portal so you can update your payment method, download invoices, or cancel any time
  • New Staff page at /dashboard/staff: invite managers and waiters by email; they get access to this specific restaurant only, not your billing or other restaurants
  • Revoke a pending staff invitation or remove an active staff member with one click
  • Read-only mode: if a plan change leaves you with more restaurants than your tier supports, the extras turn read-only. Public menus keep serving guests, but dashboard editing is locked until you upgrade or pick which ones stay active
  • Activation picker on the Billing page: swap which restaurants stay active under your current plan without upgrading
  • Restaurant switcher in the dashboard sidebar: the foundation for managing multiple venues from one account (adding more restaurants ships next)
  • Buy-credits button on the Billing page: top up with a one-time 100-credit pack for $15 when you run out mid-month. Credits land in your bonus bucket and never expire
Changed
  • Restaurant-scoped staff (managers and waiters) now see a focused sidebar with just Menus and Staff: account-level pages like Billing, Team, and Settings are hidden from their view and redirect back to Menus if opened directly
  • Logos are now per-restaurant: each venue in your account can have its own logo for the public menu, the dashboard sidebar, and the QR code center. Existing logos are carried over automatically
  • AI features now meter against your plan&apos;s monthly credits: creating a menu from a URL/photo/PDF, generating a dish photo, and enhancing a photo each cost 1 credit. The monthly bucket refills on each plan renewal; unused monthly credits don&apos;t carry over
  • Settings now save to the specific restaurant you&apos;re viewing: so in the multi-restaurant world every venue can have its own branding, QR style, and WiFi details

v0.21.0

Header image banner + public menu polish

Added
  • Upload a header image in Settings: it sits behind your restaurant name on the public menu with a soft dark gradient so the name stays readable on any photo. When no image is set, the brand-color gradient still shows as before
  • New Restaurant name color setting in Menu design: pick any hex to override the default when a header image makes the name hard to read, with the change reflected live in the Settings preview
  • New Category tiles template: lands guests on a grid of big square category buttons with a specials tile on top. Tap a tile to browse that category; a sticky bottom bar holds search and quick-jump buttons for every category
  • Settings page now has a sticky left-side quick-nav: jump straight to Restaurant, Links, Menu design, Brand, QR code style, or WiFi without scrolling. The current section highlights as you scroll
  • Today&apos;s Specials section now glows in your brand&apos;s accent color: the block lifts off the page so specials feel like the first thing guests notice
Changed
  • Tightened the public menu header: restaurant name, logo, and menu label shrunk so guests see dishes sooner without scrolling
  • Removed the QRmenucrafter wordmark from the public menu header: it already appears in the footer, so the top of the page is fully your restaurant
  • Settings now offers save buttons at the bottom of each section, with subtle dividers between sections: Restaurant, Links, Menu design, Brand, QR code style, and WiFi are easier to scan and save without jumping to the end of the page
  • WiFi badge on the public menu now uses a solid card instead of a frosted pill: stays legible on any header image or theme
Fixed
  • WiFi reveal button no longer causes a hydration warning on first render: the sheet opens cleanly on the first tap
  • Removing or replacing a header image now cleans up the previous file from storage, so unused images don&apos;t linger
  • The Settings phone mockup now includes the same menu header, search bar, and category chips as your live menu, so the preview matches what guests actually see on mobile
  • Template previews in Settings now scale the menu viewport down more accurately inside the phone frame, so dish photos and spacing no longer look oversized compared with the real mobile page
  • Photo grid menus with a single Today&apos;s Special now show it in a focused featured card instead of leaving an awkward half-empty specials block
  • Category tiles now renders correctly inside the Settings phone mockup, and its bottom search/pill bar stays pinned to the phone bottom like the live public menu
  • Switching templates or saving settings no longer leaves a giant blank scroll area inside the phone mockup preview: its height now shrinks back to the real content like it does after a refresh
  • Collapsed dashboard sidebar icons now stay centered on one clean vertical line instead of drifting out of alignment

v0.20.0

Menu creation polish + currency update

Added
  • AED (UAE dirham) added to the currency list
  • The phone mockup in Menu design is now clickable: tap it to open your real menu in a new tab and see exactly how it looks live
Changed
  • Creating a new menu drops you into the editor to review the extracted items, instead of the public menu view: you can polish before sharing
  • Removed the 20 MB file size cap on menu uploads: drop in any PDF or photo your device can send
  • Luxury theme price chips brightened to true gold: reads clearly as gold on the parchment page rather than olive-green on some displays
Removed
  • The Badges enable/disable section in Settings: all five badges (Best Seller, Chef&apos;s Pick, Signature, New, Spicy) are now always available as toggleable chips on every dish in the editor

v0.19.0

Share-ready menus: search + social polish

Added
  • Every restaurant menu now has a custom social-share card: the restaurant&apos;s name, your brand colors, and dish count render in the link preview on iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, Twitter, and Facebook
  • Google and other search engines now understand your menu as structured data, including individual dishes, prices, and categories, so your menu can show up in richer search results
  • New branded app icon replaces the default: the QRmenucrafter Q appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and iOS home-screen installs
  • A default social card for the landing page when someone shares a link to qrmenucrafter
Changed
  • Private dashboard routes (settings, menus, team, admin) now tell search engines not to index them: only your public menu pages, the landing, and the changelog are discoverable
  • Luxury theme repainted: deeper parchment page, espresso-brown text, and antique gold price chips. Now looks and feels clearly distinct from Editorial instead of just swapping the font

v0.18.0

Themes and seasonal touches

Added
  • Five color + typography themes in Settings: Editorial (current look), Pastel, Luxury, Midnight, and Sunset. Each swaps the full palette and, where it fits, switches headings to the Instrument Serif display face
  • Midnight theme is effectively dark mode: deep ink with amber and burgundy accents, tuned for cocktail bars, wine bars, and lounges
  • Seasonal touch picker: add a gentle overlay of falling snow, amber autumn leaves, or celebration confetti in your brand colors. Pure CSS, no performance hit, and it respects &ldquo;reduce motion&rdquo;
  • The phone mockup preview in Settings reflects theme + seasonal choices live, alongside template and brand colors: pick any combination and see exactly how it&apos;ll look

v0.17.0

Menu templates

Added
  • New Menu design section in Settings: choose how your public menu is laid out
  • Two templates to start: Editorial (text-first with thumbnails) and Photo grid (photo-forward 2-column tiles for restaurants that lean on dish photos)
  • Each template previews inside an iPhone mockup using your actual brand colors, so picking one is truly WYSIWYG
  • Switching templates is instant, with no reload or data migration, and the change shows up on your next /m/... visit
Fixed
  • Template previews in Settings now keep the iPhone mockup proportions intact instead of stretching the frame
  • Template previews in Settings now sit higher inside the phone mockup so the menu aligns better with the screen
  • Editorial template prices now stay aligned in the settings preview when dish names wrap across multiple lines
  • Template previews in Settings no longer add extra top padding inside the phone viewport
  • Template previews now remove the first section’s top spacing so categories start closer to the top of the phone screen
  • Template previews now use a tighter phone-screen viewport inset so the mockup framing matches the visible content more closely

v0.16.0

AI-assisted dish photos

Added
  • &ldquo;Generate&rdquo; a dish photo with AI: uses the dish&apos;s name and description as the brief; add optional extra direction (&ldquo;overhead on slate, more steam&rdquo;) and let it cook
  • &ldquo;Enhance&rdquo; an existing photo: improves lighting, background, and framing while preserving the exact dish and plating
  • Review panel shows before/after so you never lose your original by accident: keep the new one, keep the old one, or try again
  • Preview the exact prompt being sent to the AI in a collapsible section before you generate: updates live as you tweak the extra direction
  • Drinks (smoothies, cocktails, coffees, juices) are now shot front-on with studio lighting, condensation, and garnishes: plated food stays overhead
  • Success toast appears when an AI photo is ready, with a button that jumps back to the dish if you&apos;ve scrolled away
  • Generated and enhanced photos default to bright, appetite-forward styling with visible glisten, steam, caramelization, and richer color instead of a muted editorial look
Changed
  • Price chips switched from dark ink to persimmon so prices pop against the menu without fighting the dish names for attention
Fixed

  • Remove a photo anytime with the × button on the editor thumbnail

v0.14.0

Today&apos;s Specials

Added
  • Mark any dish as Today&apos;s Special with a single tap in the editor: expires automatically at midnight, no unchecking needed
  • Specials appear as a pinned section at the top of your public menu with a distinct treatment so guests see them first
  • A &ldquo;Today&apos;s Specials&rdquo; pill in the menu&apos;s category nav jumps straight to that section

v0.13.0

Editorial badges

Added
  • Tag dishes with editorial badges in the editor, including Best Seller, Chef&apos;s Pick, Signature, New, and Spicy, each with its own icon and color
  • Badges render as prominent pills above the dish name on your public menu, so customers spot your highlights instantly

v0.11.0

WiFi password on your menu

Added

  • Guests see a &quot;WiFi&quot; button in your public menu header: tap to reveal the password, tap again to copy it

Logo uploads, sidebar nav, profile

Added

  • Onboarding now asks for your name so it&apos;s filled in from day one
  • Floating back-to-top button on the landing page
Changed
  • Landing page top nav simplified: one &quot;Get started&quot; button that takes you to the dashboard when you&apos;re already signed in
  • Every CTA on the landing page (Start for free, Get started, Choose plan) routes you straight to your dashboard if you&apos;re signed in, instead of bouncing through the login screen
  • Dashboard pages now share the same width and padding so navigating between Menus, Team, Settings, and Profile doesn&apos;t jump horizontally

v0.9.0

Customizable QR codes

Menus under your restaurant

Changed
  • Menus now belong to your restaurant, not to a single user: every teammate on the account sees and can edit the same menus

v0.1.0

Initial QRmenucrafter landing + OTP auth

Added
  • QRmenucrafter landing page with product positioning and live phone mockup
  • Email OTP sign-in flow with 6-digit code
  • Branded transactional email template
Changed
  • New orange and cream design system driven by shadcn theme tokens
  • Rebranded navigation, dashboard, and metadata to QRmenucrafter
  • Darkened primary and muted text colors so body copy and buttons meet WCAG AA contrast
  • Dashboard shows a clearer empty state explaining that menu creation is coming soon
  • Hero, header, and login copy tightened for consistency ("Get started" / "Create your menu" / "See how it works")
  • Login error messages now explain how to recover instead of just saying something went wrong
  • Quieter hero headline (solid accent color instead of a gradient), calmer testimonial band, and a restrained phone-mockup cover
  • Replaced the three-card features grid with a clearer 01 → 02 → 03 "how it works" narrative (Upload → Publish → Edit anytime)
  • Consistent QRmenucrafter logo treatment across every page and a more legible dashboard header
Fixed
  • OTP code fields now announce their position and accept SMS/email autofill
  • Sign-in errors are announced to screen readers and linked to the relevant field
  • Language switcher exposes the active language to assistive tech
  • Hero badge pulse respects prefers-reduced-motion
  • Long menu item names in the landing mockup no longer break the row
  • Prevent double-submission when sending or verifying an OTP
  • Mobile navigation: hamburger menu surfaces previously hidden nav links
  • Phone mockup and hero now adapt to landscape phones and short viewports
  • Primary CTAs meet 44px touch targets on mobile
Removed
  • Legacy starter-template landing page
  • Google OAuth and email/password sign-in (replaced by email OTP)
  • "Pricing" and "Examples" nav links (those sections don't exist yet)
  • Terms and Privacy links on the login page until those pages exist
  • Language switcher: English only for v0.1. Translation infrastructure remains in place for when Spanish ships.
