Food ordering from a digital menu
In today's world, where almost everything is digital, a paper menu is no longer trendy; in fact, a digital menu is a much more environmentally friendly solution.
Let’s consider how much simpler it is when we enter a dining venue, choose our table, and don’t have to wait for the server to bring us the menu. All we need is our phone. This solution is similar to the digital screens found in well-known fast-food chains, where we can assemble our order and handle payment ourselves. We then receive just a number to pick up our completed order.
The digital menu card is an A5-sized plastic plexiglass placed on the table, containing an NFC chip that can hold any desired information.
An NFC chip is durable, with a lifespan of up to 5-10 years. This menu is available at every table and can be accessed by guests with just a single touch. To use this digital menu, you only need to touch your phone, and the entire menu will appear. Orders are also placed through the phone, so no server is needed.
Why is this useful? Because nowadays it is difficult to find a good server due to the labor shortage, but our solution can bridge this problem. The e-menu card contains a chip, which allows the server to know which table to deliver the completed order to.
The advantage of the e-menu card is that it can collect data from the guest’s previous consumption, thus enabling them to create personalized promotions for the guest. The digital menu is a restaurant software, and its advantage is that while the content of a paper menu is fixed, the content of the e-menu card can be modified anytime in the backend settings, so there is no need to print a new menu.
In some dining establishments, the daily menu is also included in the offerings. This can be easily managed with the digital menu, allowing the daily menu to be displayed on the landing page, for example, between 11 AM and 2 PM, and the regular menu after 2 PM.
