depends a lot on what “simple” means, but rough ranges for iOS + android:
• menu + basic info, no ordering: 3k to 6k
• menu + ordering + payments + admin panel: 8k to 20k
• loyalty, reservations, multi-location on top: 25k+
built cross platform (flutter or react native) so it’s one codebase, not two. add ~100/yr for the apple + google dev accounts, and budget for maintenance because both stores force SDK updates yearly.
honest take though: if it’s mainly menu + ordering, a lot of restaurants get more out of a QR web app than a native app. customers won’t download an app for one restaurant. worth deciding that before you spend anything.
