Implementing a digital menu in a restaurant is a multi-step process, so it's worth thinking it through carefully and seeking external help to make it quick and smooth. In general, the following steps should be followed, but you can deviate from them if you need to tailor your solution to your restaurant.
Design
The first step is planning. Identify your needs and the goals you want to achieve with this service. It is important that the goal is clearly defined. You can choose between several different objectives, depending on what you consider to be timely.
Research
Assess the different digital menu solutions and providers. Request quotes and gather information on available options, prices and features. Consider what is most important to the restaurant first.
Evaluation
If the restaurant already has its own website, it is advisable to integrate a digital menu. A web presence is a must for a restaurant, as almost 100% of the information is searched for online by prospective customers. The Etlap.Online PRÉMIUM Digital Menu is a web-based mobile optimised platform, which is both a menu and an information interface for the restaurant.

Some operators take the burden off the shoulders of the catering management. It is worth choosing a solution where technical assistance is available on request. It is important that the page is clear and concise, informal, mobile optimised and fast loading. It is preferable that the look and feel is consistent with the restaurant's image. It should be as easy to use as possible to enhance the user experience. It is good to include distinctive features such as allergen screening. Allergen labelling is a legal obligation for catering establishments.
FEl Preparation
Train restaurant staff to use and manage the digital menu. Make sure that everyone is familiar with the system and can help guests when needed. It is important that waiters understand and identify with the rationale for the system.
