Casual Restaurants
QR browsing at the table, photos that sell your signature dishes, Big 9 allergen tags across your full menu, and separate menus for lunch, dinner, and happy hour that switch themselves.
Why casual restaurants choose MenuIQ
Your menu does a lot of work. It covers appetizers, entrees, kids meals, desserts, drinks, daily specials — and your guests expect to see what they're ordering before it arrives. MenuIQ gives every item a photo, Big 9 allergen tags down to the specific ingredient, and dietary labels that let the whole table order with confidence. Separate lunch and dinner menus switch automatically, promo pricing toggles on and off with one click, and a QR code at the table lets guests browse the full menu before the server arrives. Upload a photo of your menu and you're live in under two minutes, starting at $10 a month.

What MenuIQ does for casual restaurants
Guests browse your menu before the server arrives
A QR code at the table lets guests see the full menu — photos, allergen filters, dietary labels — on their phone, no app needed.
Photos that sell your signature dishes
Add photos to appetizers, entrees, and specials and feature them at the top of your digital menu.
Big 9 allergens auto-tagged across every item
Upload a menu photo and allergen tags are extracted in under two minutes — no spreadsheet, no guessing.
Lunch, dinner, happy hour, all on one account
Run a lunch menu, a dinner menu, and a happy hour list from the same account — each with its own items, pricing, and schedule.
Promo pricing, on and off with one toggle
Set menu timing to display promo pricing for any item, have it automatically turn off at determined days and times.
One login, every location
Manage two restaurants or fifty from one account, each with its own menus and allergen tags.
Guest experience
Your guests see your menu — not a Yelp page.
When a family is deciding where to eat tonight, they Google the menu. With MenuIQ, that search leads to your branded digital menu — real photos, full descriptions, allergen info, dietary labels — instead of a third-party page with outdated prices and user-uploaded photos. The experience starts before they walk through the door, and it's yours to control.
Allergens tagged to the source ingredient, not just the item.
MenuIQ tags each allergen to its specific source — "dairy: parmesan in the alfredo sauce, tree nut: walnuts in the harvest salad, soy: soy sauce in the teriyaki glaze." When a parent is ordering for a child with allergies, they see exactly where the allergen lives and whether a substitution works — without flagging down the server for a kitchen check.

Allergens
Dietary options clearly marked — before anyone has to ask.
Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free labels visible on every item. The table with mixed dietary needs — one vegan, one gluten-free, two who'll eat anything — sees what works for everyone from the same menu. No separate dietary menu, no back-and-forth with the server before the order even starts.
Menu management
Lunch hands off to dinner — automatically.
Each menu runs its own day-of-week and time-of-day window. Your lunch menu activates at 11, dinner takes over at 4, and your weekend brunch runs Saturday and Sunday mornings — no one has to remember to switch menus between services.
Two locations, one menu standard. Ten locations, still the same.
Manage every location from one account, each with its own menu, schedule, and allergen tags. Update the seasonal menu at one location and clone it to the others — no rebuilding required.
