Own A Restaurant? 3 Reasons You Should Be Using Digital Tablet Menus

If you own a restaurant, you should consider purchasing digital tablet menus instead of using the traditional paper menus for your patrons. This can benefit your restaurant in many ways, three of which are listed below. This can help you decide if you would like to make this investment for your restaurant.

Makes it Easier for Your Patrons

Your patrons can easily browse your menu for food they would like to order. It also makes it easier for the patrons to customize their order instead of explaining what they want to a waitperson. You could include the total calories, carbs, sugar, etc. in each food item to make it easy for patrons that are watching their diet or for patrons that may be diabetic.

You can also put a detailed picture and description of the food items so your patrons can see what something looks like before they order it. A picture may even entice them to buy something they would not have otherwise purchased.

Makes it Fun

You can set up your digital menus in many ways. One thing you can do is to let your guests play multi-player games with other guests at other tables in your restaurant. Games can be installed on the menus that patrons can play on their own while they are waiting for their food. This is beneficial especially if the wait is long. You could also put social media on the tablet so your patrons can post about your restaurant on their favorite social media sites. This is a big benefit for you, as this is a great form of free advertising.

Saves You Money

Tablet menus may be an investment but over time they will save you money. This is because if you use traditional menus and need to make changes you would have to have the menus printed, which can get expensive especially if you have a large restaurant. For example, you may need to change prices or make corrections to a food item, or you may want to add new food items to the menu.  If you use a tablet menu, you can easily make changes in only a few minutes.

You can also use the tablet menus for up-selling. This means you can sell one items and suggest that the patron purchase something else to go with it. For example, you could suggest they have a drink to go with their main course or you can list a selection of sides they can choose from.

Talk with a manufacturer that sells digital tablet menus, like Digital World International, if you have any questions and they can show you a demonstration on how this works.
