Sometimes, the best things in life happen unexpectedly.
MenuBee is one of those moments for us.
"This is the story of how MenuBee got its name — and the journey behind it."
When we started building our SaaS platform for digital menus and point-of-sale (POS) systems, finding the right name felt like searching for a missing piece of the puzzle. It had to be easy to remember, warm, inviting, and most importantly, personal.
Truth be told, I wasn’t even searching for a business name at the time. I was reading about something deeply personal — how bee’s honey can help cancer patients during chemotherapy.
My late mother, who was battling cancer, believed in the healing powers of natural foods. Honey was a big part of her daily diet, and during her most difficult days, it brought her strength, sweetness, and comfort. So I found myself, like many people searching for hope, reading article after article about bees, honey, and their incredible benefits.
And then, almost out of nowhere, an ad popped up on my screen:
“MenuBee — Domain For Sale.”
Something about it caught my heart.
I clicked on it without even thinking twice.
The more I stared at the word, the more it grew on me.
Bee — a symbol of hard work, community, and sweet results.
Menu — exactly what we were creating for restaurants: beautiful, easy, digital menus.
It felt like a sign from the universe.
The more I thought about it, the more it fit.
🐝 Bees are tireless workers, just like the hospitality teams we serve.
🍯 Bees create sweetness, just like we want to create delightful experiences for restaurants and their customers.
🛎️ Menus are the heartbeat of every restaurant, and we were building a platform to make them smarter, faster, and friendlier.
And so, on 23 August 2022, I officially bought MenuBee.com.
I didn’t think twice. Some names you choose. Some names choose you.
(Here’s a little memory of that day — we purchased the domain from Squadhelp, now known as Atom.com.)
Today, every time we see MenuBee on a restaurant’s screen or a customer’s device, it reminds us that even in the most unexpected moments — while searching for healing — beautiful beginnings can take flight.
This name is not just a brand.
It’s a little tribute to my mother’s strength, to nature’s miracles, and to the hardworking spirit of every restaurant we hope to serve.
Welcome to MenuBee.
Where every menu buzzes with life. 🐝✨
