This app is for restaurant owners and individuals interested in food who want to offer something extra.
As a restaurateur, you can present the menu in an attractive way with images and text.
As an individual, you can in pictures and text present the evenings menu to your guests on your iPad. Before they come you can email an internet-link to the menu to them, so they can see it on their iPhone or iPod touch.
The app can do the following:
- Present the menu as a list of dishes.
- Present each dish separately with images and text.
- Sort dishes on the list by type, such as appetizers, meat dishes, desserts, drinks.
- Sort dishes by day of week, ie Monday, Tuesday, etc. In that way it becomes a week-menu.
- Show the dish name, price, detailed description and picture.
- View the restaurants logo on the menu.
- View the restaurants contact information on the menu.
- Email the menu and all information about the dishes to another iPad, which has the app installed. Good feature if you use multiple iPads in the restaurant.
Email an internet-link to the menu. In that way you can spread the menu as a kind of newsletter. Restaurant contact information is also available at the link (if you entered it into the app). To do this you need to email your menu to us at [email protected]. We will then create a website and put your menu there. To see what your menu would look like on the net, please direct the web-browser in your iPhone or iPod touch to ourrestmenu.appspot.com/default, which features a nonsense menu created with this app.
