Glide App Example: Digital Menu for Restaurants
Updated on: February 16, 2023
A Glide Apps example of a digital menu app for restaurants created using Glide Apps along with the need and the advantages of a digital app.
Introduction
The new normal is going to be drastically different. Unless I am totally wrong about the new normal. Some people will risk going out. At the very least, they will want to go to places that care about hygiene. This is especially true for restaurants.
Problem
When eating out, diners would want to minimize touching things they don’t have to. One such avoidable thing is menus in restaurants. There has to be a way for restaurateurs to create digital menus for their restaurants.
Solution
Enter Glide Apps.

Advantages
A few benefits of having a digital menu are:
Cost-savings
- No more wasteful printing of menus when introducing changes to the menu
- Restaurants don’t have to invest in expensive tablets/phones
Customer-centricity
- Show your diners what the dishes look like with pictures
- Allow your diners to easily browse the menu by courses, food preferences, cuisines, etc.
- Display the nutritional information of the dishes in the digital menu app
- Allow customers to leave reviews for their favorite dishes
- Show the day’s specials, the most popular dishes as separate lists
- Allow diners to sort and filter menu based on their preferences
Hygiene
- Diners can open the digital menu app using a QR code or a URL to browse the menu on their own phones, tablets, computers
- Diners can place orders within the app, thus eliminating the need for staff to physically take orders from diners (not part of the template)
Conclusion
In the new normal, restaurateurs have to build trust with their diners. The process of building trust will be quicker if the restaurateurs can grab low-hanging fruits like launching digital menus. Initiatives like these will show diners that restaurants care about their well-being.
