What is a digital restaurant menu?

A digital restaurant menu is the most convenient and cost effective way to highlight your restaurant's fare. Our free menu maker puts your customized menu online which is conveniently accessed by a QR code on the table or bar. Our free menu maker gives you more control over what customers look at and makes your best dishes look even more enticing. When your restaurant utilizes a digital menu creator you can incorporate stunning high definition images, motion graphics, and even video!

A virtual menu is as quick and dynamic as you are. You can add new items, “86” items, adjust prices, and change your food and drink specials in real time. You no longer have to absorb the expense of reprinting a new set of replacement menus when you want to make a change. Our menu creator gives you full access to edit at any time with ease, even in the middle of the dinner rush!

Now more than ever customers are expecting a touchless experience while dining out, and virtual menus are becoming the norm, not the exception. This is one of the most important reasons to incorporate an online menu maker into your business. Your customers only need to take a photo of the QR code and the virtual menu opens instantly for them.

  1. Upload your restaurant menu as a PDF document (Or you can upload .doc, .docx, or .ppt file types or import your files directly from Dropbox or Google Drive).

  2. Spice things up with photos, videos, and links to make it interactive and dynamic. 

  3. Use the embed feature on the online menu maker to add your virtual menu to your restaurant’s website.

  4. Widen your audience and promote your restaurant! Make your menu mobile friendly by using our Article Stories feature. Pull stories from anywhere in your menu and easily turn them into their own mobile-optimized articles. You can also use this feature to pull sections from your menu or promote specials and deals.

  5. Improve the customer experience by using our Fullscreen feature to create an immersive reading experience. Customers can bring up a fullscreen version of your menu so nothing distracts them while they’re making their choice!
