Restaurant Menus & Ordering

Transform your restaurant operations with dynamic QR code menus that update in real-time, reduce printing costs, and provide valuable customer insights.

The Challenge

πŸ’Έ

High Printing Costs

Restaurants spend $2,000-$5,000 annually reprinting menus for price updates, seasonal items, and wear-and-tear replacement.

🦠

Hygiene Concerns

Shared physical menus raise sanitation concerns. 73% of diners now prefer contactless options.

⏰

Slow Menu Updates

Running out of an item? Traditional menus require costly reprints and create friction when availability changes.

πŸ“Š

No Customer Insights

Paper menus provide zero data on what customers view, how long they browse, or which items get the most attention.
