Link-in-bio · for restaurants
Linktree for restaurants— with the menu built in.
PlatterTap works like a Linktree for restaurants: one short link — plattertap.com/your-name — for your Instagram bio, Google Maps and QR codes. The difference is what opens. Instead of a list of buttons, guests land on your full menu with sections, prices, languages, opening hours and directions. It’s free.
Why do restaurants use a link-in-bio page?
Social profiles have room for only a few links, so restaurants put one link in the bio that leads to everything else. For most guests the reason to tap is the menu — what you serve and what it costs — which is why PlatterTap makes the menu the page itself rather than one more button.
How is PlatterTap different from Linktree?
Linktree is a general link-in-bio tool: a page of buttons that point to other places, used by creators, shops and brands. PlatterTap is built for one job — showing a menu. Your link opens the menu directly, with sections, prices, dish labels, translations and your contact details, plus QR codes for the tables.
Neither is better in general. If you mainly need to send people to many different places — a shop, a podcast, a newsletter — a general link-in-bio tool does that well. If what guests want is your menu, sending them through a page of buttons to a PDF adds taps and zooming.
PlatterTap vs. a link-in-bio page vs. a PDF menu
A quick comparison of the three most common ways restaurants share a menu link. The PlatterTap column describes our product; the other two describe the general approach. Check each provider’s own site for its current features and plans.
| Aspect | PlatterTap | General link-in-bio page (e.g. Linktree) | PDF or photo of the menu |
|---|---|---|---|
| Built for | Restaurant, café and bar menus | Any creator, brand or business | Printing |
| What guests see first | Your menu: sections, dishes, prices | A list of links | A document to zoom into |
| Menu editor (sections, prices, sizes) | Built in | Not a menu editor — you link to a menu elsewhere | Fixed in the file |
| Several languages | Up to 10, with a switcher | Depends on what you link to | One file per language |
| QR codes for tables | PNG, SVG and printable table cards | Some tools offer a QR code for the page | Needs a separate QR generator |
| Dishes readable by search engines | Yes — menu structured data | Only the link page itself | Limited, especially for photos |
| Price | Free, every feature | See the provider’s plans | Free, but every change means a new file |
Can I use PlatterTap together with Linktree?
Yes. If you already have a link-in-bio page, add your PlatterTap menu as the first button and label it “Menu”. Or make PlatterTap your only bio link: its contact section already links to your Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, website, phone number and directions.
How do I replace a PDF menu link with PlatterTap?
Type the dishes and prices from your PDF into PlatterTap, check them, publish, then swap the old PDF link for your PlatterTap link everywhere it appears. Print new QR codes once — after that, menu changes never require new codes or new files.
Add your menu
Type the sections, dishes and prices from your PDF into the dashboard — a few minutes for most menus.
Finish and publish
Add your logo, contact details and opening hours. The page is live as soon as it has a dish.
Swap the links
Instagram and TikTok bio, the menu link in your Google Business Profile, the menu button on your website, your WhatsApp Business profile.
Print new QR codes
Download PNG or SVG, or print the table cards. From now on the code never changes.
