What is included in the free plan?

The ChinaYung Free Plan is permanently free — no time limit, no credit card required, and no automatic conversion to a paid plan. With it, you can manage up to 25 dishes with full allergen documentation, manually assign all 14 EU allergens to each dish, calculate basic nutrition values covering the key macronutrients, and publish a digital German-language menu accessible via link. Community support and a comprehensive FAQ library are included. The Free Plan is well suited to small restaurants getting started with compliance, as well as anyone who wants to evaluate the platform in full before committing to a paid plan. An upgrade is available at any point, and every dish, ingredient, and allergen assignment you have entered is carried over completely when you do.

What is the difference between Growth and Pro?

GROWTH (€50/month) is the entry point for automated allergen labeling: AI recognition reads ingredients directly from supplier invoices, eliminating the majority of manual data entry. It also adds an English-language menu for international guests, API access for connecting to POS systems, up to 100 dishes, and 3 user accounts. PRO (€100/month) extends the feature set significantly: unlimited dishes, label scan recognition for product packaging, trilingual menu output (German, English, Chinese), the full chatbot for guest communication, complete food cost calculation, priority support with phone access, and 10 user accounts. The most significant PRO-exclusive features are unlimited dish capacity, Chinese as a third menu language, and full food cost tracking. For operations with international clientele or a large, frequently updated menu, PRO is the more capable and future-proof choice.

Is there an annual discount?

Yes. Choosing annual billing saves you the equivalent of two months — a discount of approximately 17%. In concrete terms: GROWTH on an annual plan costs €500 instead of €600, saving €100 over the year. PRO on an annual plan costs €1,000 instead of €1,200, saving €200. Switching from monthly to annual billing is available at any time directly from your dashboard — there is no need to cancel and re-subscribe. All payments are processed securely through Stripe; your card details are encrypted in transit and are not stored by ChinaYung. Enterprise customers receive custom pricing negotiated based on contract length, number of locations, and feature requirements. The Free Plan remains permanently free regardless of billing model. All stated prices are net amounts and are subject to applicable VAT in your jurisdiction.

Can I cancel or change plans anytime?

Yes — all paid plans are cancellable on a monthly basis with no minimum commitment, no notice period, and no cancellation fees. To cancel, go to your dashboard and follow the plan management options; the cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, meaning you retain full access until that date. Upgrading is immediate: the moment you confirm, the new features are available. Downgrading preserves all your data without exception. If you downgrade to the Free Plan and your account contains more than 25 dishes, the dishes beyond the limit are archived rather than deleted — they reappear in full the moment you upgrade again. There are no fees associated with plan changes in either direction. If you have questions about which plan is right for your operation before committing, the Free Plan gives you a no-risk way to evaluate the platform first.
