Hi Hacker New! I'm Marat, founder of Scanly. This is my side project that I have been working on recently. Day X has come, I finished the project, it's time to launch here. We are going through a difficult time, I thought how I could help, and decided that this is not a bad idea. Of course, the idea is not new, but I tried make it well, better than we have now. Considering that I completely did everything myself, design and development, perhaps this does not yet have a lot of the necessary functionality. So, if Scanly has users, I plan to add: Direct Payments Covid Trace (in some countries this requirement) Online booking and order If any of you have someone who needs such a service, I would be happy your recommendation. And I really excited about your feedback. Cheers, Marat

Hi Marat, great work, quite impressive. I totally see the need for this as restaurants and alikes are struggling right now and any help they can get is certainly welcome. Thinking of that, I have a very minor suggestion. I was thinking that perhaps most restaurants that would need this because they can't solve the problem themselves are the kind of place with low tech skills, including photography. Those places might not have pics of everything they serve, so they might prefer not to show pictures. And given the current times, they aren't probably in the mood to spend extra cash. Additionally where I'm from (Italy) it's considered a very bad sign if a restaurant has pictures in the menu (it's often a place for tourists -> relatively low quality). It's a cultural thing that I think is shared in many places in europe. Pics would be ok only in some very narrow situations. All that just to say that perhaps you could also provide an example without pictures, with a text only polished menu.
