Digital menu with QR-code table tents. Per-item photo, description, allergens, dietary tags. Real-time item view analytics (what's being looked at most, which items scroll-through, which items get clicked but not ordered). Quick 86 item when you run out. Multiple menus (breakfast, brunch, dinner, happy hour) by day + time. For 1-5 location indie restaurants.
Generate QR code for table tents + window + register. Guest scans, sees current menu. Mobile-first layout. Photo hero per dish. No app install, no download.
Per item: gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, nut-free, contains pork/shellfish, spicy 1-5. Customer filters by restriction. Zero 'is the chowder gluten free' calls to the server.
Real-time: which items are viewed most, hover time per item, scroll depth. Spot "everyone looks at the burger but no one orders it" — that item needs a photo or description fix.
Run out of salmon? Flip the flag, it grays out on every guest's menu in 5 seconds. No more "oh we're out of that" after order placed. Auto-resumes at midnight or manually restore when you restock.
Breakfast 7-11, brunch weekends 9-2, dinner after 4, happy hour 3-6 Tue-Thu. Menu auto-switches. Holiday special-hours override. Guest always sees what's actually available right now.
Flask + SQLite. Your menu data, item views, guest behavior stay on your server. Not fed into a restaurant-tech SaaS's 'food trends' industry report.
