New restaurant opening guide

Bring the menu into one structure before the kitchen, service, and till go live.

An opening menu connects concept, recipe, portion, product name, option, price, and presentation decisions. Em QR Menu turns verified content into an easy-to-browse mobile menu, while optional Emadmin lets the business team manage updates.

Treat the menu as managed product data, not merely a design file.

A new restaurant menu often takes shape while kitchen trials are still in progress. Copies printed before product names, portions, variants, and prices are final can become obsolete quickly. Building an approved product inventory first keeps what the service team describes, the till applies, and the guest sees consistent.

Em presents a large menu through categories, products, images, and variants. Fast search and personal short lists help shorten the decision path. When Emadmin is selected, authorized staff can manage products, prices, campaigns, and language content after opening.

Opening discipline

#

Turn menu decisions into a publish-ready, controlled structure

A well-prepared QR menu clarifies both the table-side presentation and ownership of content before service begins.

01

Category architecture suited to the concept

Sections such as starters, mains, drinks, and desserts are arranged around the service model and product range.

02

Present portions and options clearly

Different portions or options for one product can appear with their respective prices in a single, understandable flow.

03

Manage late-stage revisions

Products, prices, or descriptions that change before opening can be updated at the same menu address while preserving the QR code target.

04

Give the service team a shared reference

Published product names, descriptions, images, and options can serve as a shared reference during team reviews.

Em QR Menu features

#

Real product capabilities available to every business

Em is the QR menu interface used by guests. Emadmin is the separate product offered to manage menu content.

Fast on-device search

Once the menu has loaded, search runs on the device so guests see matching products and variants as they type.

Categories, products, and variants

Instead of a long PDF, categories, product details, images, variants, and prices are presented in a mobile-friendly layout.

A menu experience in 12 languages

Guests can switch between 12 supported languages with one tap and browse the same menu structure in their language.

Tools that support product choice

The preference wizard, AI-assisted recommendations, and a personal short list help guests narrow down their options.

Business details and themes

Address, map, opening hours, payment methods, and social accounts can appear in a side panel, while colors can reflect the brand.

Content management with Emadmin

When Emadmin is used, categories, products, variants, prices, campaigns, and language content can be updated through the panel.

Three-stage preparation

#

How is a new restaurant QR menu prepared?

Product data from the kitchen is verified by the business before publishing and tested through a sample guest journey.

  1. 01

    Prepare an approved inventory of categories, products, portions, variants, prices, descriptions, and images.

  2. 02

    Structure the content in Em, add languages, brand theme, and business details, then run mobile checks.

  3. 03

    Test at the table that each QR code opens the correct menu, and define who approves and publishes changes after opening.

Frequently asked questions

#

What to know before choosing a QR menu

Can QR menu setup begin before a new restaurant menu is final?

The menu architecture can begin with a draft product list, but the business must complete a final review of every published name, portion, variant, price, and description.

Must the QR code be reprinted after every price change?

No. Updating content at the same published address does not change the QR code target. The update method depends on the selected setup and Emadmin scope.

Does Em QR Menu replace ordering and payment systems?

No. The standard scope is a digital menu that presents products and supports guest choice; table ordering, payment, and till integration are not promised features.

Can a restaurant menu be prepared in multiple languages?

Yes. Once translations are supplied, Em can present the same menu structure in its 12 supported languages. Translation accuracy and freshness should also be covered by the business’s content-review process.
