What You Eat

Menu a La Mode – In Style Dining

Menu a La Mode is an interactive menu designed specifically for the guests who can order from the restaurant, hotel rooms and bars. Menu a La Mode uses the Android based Tablet / Smart Phone with touch screen in replacement of a paper-based menu along with complete point of sale (POS). This allows diners to view videos, images, rates of menu items and customize their order in a simple, intuitive way. Menu a La Mode offers you the Point of Sale (POS), Reports, Feedback, Social Networks, WiFi HotSpot, Games and many more features.

Diners can peruse the dishes and see a picture of what the dish looks like along with tasting notes before compiling their order and sending it wirelessly to the kitchen.

Diners can flip through images of the dishes prior to ordering and they’ve additionally included information on pairings so each dish can be matched beautifully. On the back-end, the app ensures customers aren’t ordering dishes or wines that are out of stock or out of timing like “Paneer Tawa Masala” will be available between 12pm to 3pm and 7pm to 11.30pm. This smart feature automatically disables the item from the menu that is not between available timing or no longer available.

Menu-AlaMode brings your menus to life like never before with vivid, colourful tablet displays and high-resolution images of every offered food item. Most items on predominantly text menus go unordered due to a lack of exposure. With Menu-AlaMode’s comprehensive cataloging of menu items, restaurant patrons are provided with enticing visuals of your entire menu, exposing them to new food they would have otherwise never ordered. During beta testing we found that restaurant customers are likely to order 20% more food with visual aids as opposed to strictly text descriptions.

Customer/Staff Interaction

Menu-AlaMode provides an unparalleled dining experience in terms of customer engagement and personalization. With our Menu-AlaMode menus, customers are able to order directly from the menu, request a waiter’s attention with the push of a button, send special instructions to the chef (ie. “I’d like my steak medium rare”), and pay with their credit cards without the hassle of trying to flag down a waiter. Restaurant


owners can offer their customers daily coupons, special promotions, and they can send them newsletters to update them on new menu items and offerings.

Full Customization

Spending money to reprint your menus at the local print shop every time you make a slight tweak is a thing of the past. With Menu-AlaMode’s digital menus, you can make on-the-fly changes to your menu at any time. Our digital menus are essentially white-label products as restaurant owners can customize the look and feel of their menu by choosing from numerous design templates and by uploading their restaurant’s logo to the menu’s heading. You can feature your popular dishes more prominently for new customers that are unfamiliar with your restaurant so that they will know what to order and be more satisfied with their initial dining experience.

Learn About Your Customers

It’s no secret that the number one reason restaurants go out of business is because customers do not like their food. Our Menu-AlaMode menus (Android menus) will enhance your understanding of your customer’s preferences by telling you exactly what they think about each particular dish. Obtain instant feedback about specific dishes with our post-meal rating and reviewing system. Improve or eliminate unpopular dishes and be conscious of your customer’s needs. See how many people recommend your restaurant to their Facebook friends directly from your menus. Adapt to your customers before you risk losing them for good.
