The world is constantly changing and so is our environment. The things we do in our everyday environment, such as restaurants and catering establishments and how they operate, are changing. Technology is now infiltrating every aspect of life, so it's worth learning about and, preferably, adopting the innovations that make our lives easier and more efficient. One such digital innovation that is becoming more and more common in restaurants is the use of digital menus with QR code identification. This menu, accessible via smartphone, has many benefits for both restaurant guests and owners. In this article, we will explore how this innovative solution contributes to enhancing the guest experience.
Comfort and speed
The QR code digital menu allows guests to instantly access the menu using their smartphone. There is limited need for paper menus or waiting for the waiter to arrive with the menu. The time from the moment a guest makes a reservation to the moment they view the menu is critical and should be minimised as much as possible as it can affect the guest's mood and therefore their subsequent orders. Using the digital menu, guests can easily browse through the food and drink menu from the comfort of their table.
Interactivity and detailed information
The digital menu allows guests to get detailed information about food and drinks. Pictures, videos, descriptions and allergen information are also available through the menu. Etlap.Online's PRÉMIUM Digital Menu service is the only one in the world to provide its partners with a digital menu with allergen filtering, which greatly simplifies the food choice for guests. It helps guests to choose the right dishes for their needs and to know exactly what ingredients they contain.
Managing language differences
The restaurants are often visited by visitors from abroad. They like to be able to browse the menu in their own language, to make it quicker and easier for them to choose their food. A picture is worth a thousand words... this saying is particularly true in the world of food. How do we look when we have to choose from a menu abroad that we don't understand? A QR-coded digital menu allows a restaurant to make its menu available in several languages, so that customers can easily find the information they need in their own language.
Updates and seasonal offers
The digital menu allows the restaurant to easily update the menu, including daily specials or seasonal dishes. This way, guests always have up-to-date information, both about the restaurant and the current selection. The Etlap.Online PRÉMIUM Digital Menu includes a restaurant information section that can keep restaurant information up to date. Keep in mind that disappointed customers are the worst, the need to provide accurate information cannot be overemphasized.
Sustainability and environmental awareness
Using paper menus requires a lot of paper and additional resources. Using digital menus reduces the restaurant's carbon footprint, contributing to sustainability and environmental awareness. It is also hygienic, as you can browse the menu on your own phone, without having to hold the menu in your hand that others have put together. This helps prevent the further spread of flu and covid virus variants.
