Digital menu or printed menu? Why most restaurants use both

Digital menus are easy to update. Printed menus feel great at the table. Here's how to get the best of both without reprinting every time prices change.

3 min read

Prices change, dishes sell out and seasonal specials come and go. Reprinting menus every time gets expensive fast. That's where a digital menu helps.

What a digital menu does well

  • Update items and prices anytime, instantly
  • Customers scan a QR code or tap an NFC stand
  • Easy to share on Instagram, Google and WhatsApp

Where print still wins

  • Some guests prefer a menu in hand
  • Takeout menus and flyers bring people back
  • Table tents and placemats promote specials

Using both

Keep your full, always-current menu online, and print the pieces that rarely change, like takeout menus, table tents and the QR + NFC stands that link to your digital menu and review page.
