Digital menusfor restaurants.
PlatterTap gives restaurants a free digital menu at their own link, with QR codes for the tables, dish photos, several languages and a page Google can read. It suits trattorias, bistros, family restaurants and fine dining alike: you type your menu in once and keep it current from your phone.
How should a restaurant menu be structured online?
Follow the order people eat in: starters, pasta or mains, sides, desserts, then drinks. Keep sections short enough to scan, describe each dish in one line and put the price right next to it. PlatterTap’s sticky section bar lets guests jump straight to desserts or the wine list.
- Put today’s specials in their own section at the top — and hide it on days without specials.
- Show wine by the glass and by the bottle as two prices on one line (variants).
- Mark vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and spicy dishes with labels.
- Use the footer note for VAT, service charge and “please tell us about allergies”.
Should I add dish photos to my menu?
Photos help when you can take clear, well-lit pictures of dishes that look as good as they taste. The Gallery template shows a large cover photo and a photo card for each dish. The other templates are designed to look complete with text alone, so photos are always optional.
How do I offer my restaurant menu in several languages?
Add up to 10 languages and translate dish names and descriptions in the dashboard. Guests get a language switcher, and each language has its own address (for example /your-name/de), which also helps search engines show the right version. Anything not yet translated falls back to your main language.
How do I get my menu on Google Maps?
Add your PlatterTap link as the menu link in your Google Business Profile. People who find your restaurant on Google Search or Maps can then open your current menu in one tap — and because the link never changes, you never have to update it there again.
