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 Modeuses 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, WiFiHotSpot, 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 “PaneerTawa 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.

4. Menu a La Mode
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.

Why Menu a La Mode….
Menu a La Mode’s All-In-One Digital Menu Solution offers the most complete package of features to
bring your restaurant into the digital age. Our easily customizable digital menus are offered on
Android tablets ( Android restaurant menus) and they can be seamlessly integrated with any of the
Point-of-Sale (POS) system, and Kitchen Printers, real-time advertisement, promotion , and smart
phone app. It’s never been easier to interact with your customers, monitor your restaurant
remotely, and flat out increase your bottom line!
I am so confident that installing Menu a La Mode’s All-In-One Digital Menu Solution into your
restaurant will directly benefit your business that.
Consider the following effects on your bottom line:
• Cut Costs on Staff
With digital menus, your waiters are capable of handling at least twice as many tables at a time since
they will be primarily focused on serving rather than taking orders. Having fewer waiters on staff
already saves tens of thousands of dollars yearly.
• No Menu Costs
Save on what would otherwise be spent on reprinting menus at your local print shop every time you
change a price or add an item. Now you can update your Android menus within seconds. There’s no
need to write “market price” when you can simply update the market price every day in seconds.
• Learn About Your Food
With customers reviewing each specific dish after their meals, you can be instantly conscious of your
customer’s preferences by improving or eliminating unpopular dishes to prevent losing your
customers. Feature your top-rated dishes more prominently so that new customers know what to
order when first dining at your restaurant, and are more likely to come back.
• Unlimited Exposure
Not only would your establishment be listed on Menu a La Mode’s fast-growing online directory of
restaurants, but your customers could recommend your restaurant to their Facebook friends
immediately after their meals with the touch of a button, directly from our menus. They can also
text their friends a recommendation using their smart phones on our app. Word-of-mouth is the
most effective form of advertising in the food industry, no pun intended. With social media
capabilities, the good word about your restaurant can travel quicker than ever thanks to digital
menus and their wide swath of appeal.
• Quicker Turnaround Time
Since the ordering and paying processes are expedited, customers will spend less time at their
tables. This means shorter lines for hungry, waiting customers and more sales for you.
• Customer/Staff Interaction
6. Menu a La Mode
Customers can order food, send special instructions to the chef, request a waiter’s attention, and
pay directly from their digital menu. Also, you can use your iPad menus to collect customer data in
order to stay in touch with them long after their meal, or to offer coupons or other special
promotions through our network.
• Wow factor
The most obvious benefits of touchscreen tablets is that are both attractive and interactive. Studies
show that customers are likely to order 20% more food using a digital menu than they would with a
paper menu. Enticing high resolution images of every dish with details about ingredients and
preparation not only provides customers with more information about what they’re eating, but they
are salivation-inducing. Throw in the ability to browse the internet, use apps, and play games with
your kids during your meal and you’ll notice a huge jump in customer satisfaction. Simply put, our
menus are fun to use.
Show off your digital menu display outside of your restaurant and impress your customers even
before they walk through your doors. Increase your bottom line and make the most appetizing
choice for your business.
