What is a digital menu for restaurants?
A digital menu is an online version of your restaurant's menu — accessible via a link or QR code on any smartphone, without needing to download an app. Customers can see categories, item photos, prices, and descriptions. A digital menu with ordering goes one step further: customers can add items to a cart and place an order directly.
With Zapify, your digital menu is part of your full branded direct-ordering website— not just a static PDF or a plain list. It's a live, interactive ordering experience under your brand.
