Yes, Stello offers a free plan that never expires. The free plan includes 1 menu with up to 50 dishes, 2 languages (Italian plus one of your choice), a public page with a QR code, and management of the 14 EU allergens. No credit card is required, and there is no trial period that expires after 14 days.

Creating a QR menu with Stello takes about 2 minutes. You take a photo of your paper menu with your phone and upload it to Stello. The AI recognizes the text, divides it into sections (starters, first courses, second courses, desserts), and identifies the prices. You then check the result, correct any errors, and choose one of the 8 design themes. The AI translates the menu into 15 languages and adds the icons of the 14 EU allergens to each dish. Stello then generates a QR code that you can print and place on the tables.

No, the QR menu complements your paper menu. Regular customers will continue to browse the paper menu as usual. Foreign tourists will scan the QR code and read the menu in their language. Many restaurants in Italy use both together: the paper menu is on the table, and the QR code is printed on a small stand next to it.

Stello uses Claude AI by Anthropic for translations. The system analyzes the culinary context of each dish and chooses the appropriate terms in the target language. For example, 'tagliere di salumi' is translated into the correct expression in each of the 15 available languages. The languages include Italian, English, German, French, Russian, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Korean, Arabic, Dutch, Polish, Hindi, Swedish, and Norwegian. If a translation doesn't satisfy you, you can manually edit it at any time using the menu editor.

Yes, you can cancel your paid subscription at any time from the Stello dashboard without contacting support or incurring penalties. Simply click in the Subscription section. After cancellation, your account reverts to the free plan, retaining the basic menu features (1 menu, 50 dishes, 2 languages). You won't lose any data. If you later decide to reactivate a paid plan, everything will be as you left it.

Yes, your data is secure. Stello stores menu data, dishes, translations, and account information on Supabase servers in the European Union, compliant with GDPR. Data is not shared with third parties for commercial or advertising purposes. Dish photos are stored on dedicated servers with protected access, and the connection between your browser and the servers is always encrypted with HTTPS. For translations, the menu text is sent to Anthropic's Claude model only to generate the translation, which is not used for training or retained afterward.
