A digital menu is not only safe for you and your customers (no need to pass it from hand to hand, it must not be protected or sanitized) but it is also an excellent business card for your restaurant.
To create a digital menu, you have two options: do it yourself or rely on a special app. Here’s how to do it in both cases.
How to create a digital menu: tips and ways to do it yourself
To create your own digital menu, we recommend using a graphics program such as Adobe Illustrator. Of course, if you’re not used to it, you can also use PowerPoint, but that wouldn’t be the same thing. Choose the menu format, background image, and font. As you can guess, the background image will be the most important thing.
Here, you can indulge yourself by choosing a main course if you have a restaurant, a pizza if you have a pizzeria, a dessert if you have a pastry shop. It is always useful to opt for an image that is truly yours and your successful dish, without falling back on photos taken from the web. Obviously, in this case, you will have to use a photo taken with a strictly high-quality device.

You can use a QR Code
For a 100% digital menu, you will need to have the QR Code. It is a two-dimensional barcode that will allow the user to download your menu and read it. To make it happen, just rely on apps that allow you to generate unique QR Codes that you can in turn print on paper and place on every table in your restaurant so that customers can consult your offer of dishes.
But which apps should you use? Well, the same ones that we will list below that also offer the virtual menu creation service!
