Do I need technical knowledge to set up a custom domain?

No. Enter your domain in the dashboard, copy one DNS value we provide, paste it into your domain registrar, and click verify. We handle SSL automatically. Most restaurants finish in under 5 minutes.

Is the free subdomain good enough for most restaurants?

The free subdomain (yourrestaurant.menuclips.com) works perfectly for ordering and sharing. A custom domain adds brand polish and helps with search rankings, but it is not required.

What happens if I switch domains later?

Zero downtime. The old domain redirects to the new one automatically, and your menu stays live throughout the transition. Existing QR codes continue to work.

Your brand, your domain

Q: Can each location have its own domain?

Yes. Each location can have a unique domain or subdomain — downtown.yourrestaurant.com and uptown.yourrestaurant.com, each loading the correct menu automatically.

Host your digital menu on menu.yourrestaurant.com instead of a third-party URL. Customers see your brand at every step — from the QR scan to the final order.

Why Custom Domains?

Everything you need for custom domains, built right in.

Free Subdomain

Every restaurant gets a free subdomain like yourrestaurant.menuclips.com — ready to use immediately. Share it on Google Business, social media, or printed materials.

Your Own Domain

Connect your own domain like menu.yourrestaurant.com. Customers see your brand in the address bar, not ours. It looks professional and builds trust.

Per-Location URLs

Give each location its own URL — downtown.yourrestaurant.com and uptown.yourrestaurant.com. Customers land on the right menu for the right location.

Free SSL Included

Every domain — free or custom — gets automatic SSL encryption. Customers see the padlock icon and their data stays secure. No extra cost or configuration needed.

How It Works

A closer look at how custom domains powers your restaurant.

5-Minute Setup

Connecting your domain is simple. Enter your domain in the dashboard, update one DNS setting with the value we provide, and click verify. We handle the SSL certificate automatically — no technical expertise required.

Better Search Rankings

When your menu lives on your own domain, search engines associate it with your restaurant. Customers searching for your restaurant name find your menu on your site — not buried on a third-party platform.

A Fully Branded Experience

From the QR code on the table to the URL in the browser to the menu design itself, everything looks and feels like your restaurant. Customers never wonder whose platform they are on.

Zero-Downtime Changes

Switching domains or updating your setup does not take your menu offline. Customers can keep ordering while you make changes — the transition happens seamlessly in the background.
