MENU, a digital platform helping restaurants boost sales using photos and digital menus is expanding into the following cities below and introducing their technology tools to new markets across the Southeast. With this expansion, MENU will be releasing a new user interface to simplify their partners' menu management experience and improve guest-facing menus. The backend of the platform will offer a new item management dashboard, allowing restaurants to make updates to their menu from one screen with minimal clicks. The frontend QR menu display will have an upgrade to their unique "picture first" menu to feature larger images and show more of the pictures. Dan Burkard, Founder of MENU and Co-Creator of @wickedtasty says, “As we release new features based on feedback from our current partners and their in-house guests, we are targeting new cities that mirror the demographic and business profile of Nashville. We are choosing to invest in cities with a growing population of young professionals and a vibrant culinary and bar scene.” As opposed to traditional paper menus, QR codes, and other touch-free versions, MENU’s interactive platform allows restaurants to customize their offerings in real-time so guests have an easy-to-view and visually appealing way to see what is available at that very time.
