A guest has forgotten their glasses. A visitor does not understand a dish name. Someone wants time to check the ingredients before ordering. These are everyday restaurant situations. A useful menu should help with each of them.
What is a QR menu?
It is a menu that opens on a phone. You place a card or sticker with a square code on the table. The guest points their phone camera at it and taps the link that appears. A page with dishes and prices opens. With iTasty, guests do not need to install an app to browse the menu.
What makes choosing easier?
Start with familiar category names and short descriptions. For an unfamiliar dish, explain what will be on the plate. Put prices beside the dishes and describe paid extras clearly. Check that guests can enlarge the text and still read it comfortably.
Not everyone wants to use a phone
A flat battery or lack of internet should not stop someone ordering. Keep a few printed menus or make sure a server can help. A phone menu gives guests another way to explore your food; they should still be able to speak to a person.
Ask someone unfamiliar with your menu to find a drink and a main course. If they hesitate or need explanations, improve those parts. This gives you a practical check before guests start using it.
An example approach
One menu format for everyone, with no alternative.
Readable information and help suited to the guest.
What to check at your venue
- Check the menu with enlarged text.
- Explain unfamiliar dish names.
- Offer an alternative for guests without a phone.
