Menu Guide in action
Menu Guide is trusted by hospitality and catering professionals running cafés, pubs, restaurants, hotels, catering companies and stadiums to save time, support staff and build customer loyalty by providing a one-stop, paper-free allergen and nutrition solution.
Share your allergen menus online in four simple steps
Create your menu
Create a menu from scratch, upload directly from your website, a pdf, csv file, your allergen sheet, or use our custom allergen menu spreadsheet.
Customise your menu
Check your allergens, add optional information (ingredients, dietary categories, calories, photos and carbon footprint data) and choose your preferred menu styling.
Publish your menu
Approve your menu for instant publication or schedule it for future activation. Download and share a QR code and/or table talker to let diners know you care about their wellbeing.
Share your online menu
Diners can view and search your interactive menu by scanning the QR code or entering a short-link in their internet browser. No special software or app downloads needed.
An online system, with all the menu information in one place, minimises errors, reduces paperwork and saves time.
Our waiting staff, who have Menu Guide on iPads to support their own knowledge, say they feel more comfortable dealing with enquiries.
This interactive communication tool must be the way forward for the hospitality industry.
