Why a multilingual menu matters for tourist-area restaurants
In a coastal town, an old city centre or a hotel district, the same table may seat guests from four countries in one evening. A menu they can't read turns every order into a guessing game – or a long conversation with a waiter who has other tables to serve.
A multilingual menu fixes that at the source. Guests read what a dish is, what is in it and how it is served, in their own language, before anyone comes to the table. They order with more confidence, ask fewer questions and are more likely to try the dishes you are proud of.
Printed menus in several languages are expensive to keep up to date: every price change means reprinting every version. With a digital QR code menu, a price, a photo or a sold-out dish changes once, and every language shows it on the next scan.
What gets translated
The menu name and description, category names and descriptions, dish names, descriptions and ingredients, portion and size names, and every option group and option – so extras like “extra cheese” read naturally too.
What happens with missing translations
Any text you haven't translated yet shows in your main language. You can publish a new language before every dish is done and fill in the rest over time.
What never needs translating
Allergens, diet tags and badges are structured data, not free text, so they are shown with icons and labels rather than words you have to translate. See the allergen menu for details.
