Digital menus have revolutionized the dining experience in modern restaurants, offering a multitude of benefits that enhance operational efficiency, improve customer satisfaction, and bolster operational management. Let’s explore the key advantages that digital menus bring to modern restaurants.
Improved Customer Experience
One of the most significant benefits of digital menus is the improved customer experience. Digital menus are visually appealing, featuring high-quality images and detailed descriptions of each dish. This helps customers make more informed choices and often increases their satisfaction with their orders when their food and drinks look like menu item images. Additionally, digital menus can be updated in real-time to reflect current offerings, ensuring that customers are always aware of the latest additions and specials.

Increased Speed and Order Accuracy
Digital menus streamline the ordering process, reducing long wait times and improving table turnover rates. When customers use tablets or smartphones to place orders directly, it eliminates the need for waitstaff to take orders manually, freeing them to focus on other aspects of service. This not only speeds up the ordering process but also increases order accuracy by reducing the likelihood of errors.

Personalized Online Ordering
When used in conjunction with an online ordering platform, digital menus can help customers personalize online orders to suit their dietary preferences or allergies. This detailed level of personalization can be difficult to communicate clearly to wait staff in environments that use traditional printed menus. On the other hand, using digital menus for online ordering provides a more tailored, effortless, and confident online ordering experience for customers, and improves order accuracy, which reflects positively on restaurant staff and the business’s overall service quality.
Easy, Immediate, and Ultra-Affordable Menu Updates
Traditional printed menus can require regular reprinting as operators make changes to menu item pricing, ingredients, availability, or descriptions. The associated costs not only quickly add up over time, but require advance planning to ensure that printing orders are in the restaurant when the changes become “live.” Digital menus, on the other hand, are easily updated without the need for paper or printing, and become immediately available to in-store and remote customers. Operators that use Aldelo Express AI Menu Builder, Global Price Changer, and Matrix Menu Builder features enjoy even more speed and convenience when updating their digital menus.

Contactless Ordering Option
Finally, more and more restaurants are offering digital menus as a hygienic alternative to printed restaurant menus. A recent guest on Huffpost’s “Am I Doing It Wrong?” podcast explained that restaurant menus may actually be the dirtiest thing customers will come in contact with in a restaurant.¹ Offering digital menus provides guests with a hygienic alternative to traditional menus that helps protect guests from unwanted germs and prevent the spread of illness during peak seasons.
