Cleaning cloths can actually spread germs across menus
|
The emphasis on hygiene in the dining industry has never been greater, especially during the fall and winter months known as “flu season.” That is why many restaurants have updated their operation to offer digital menus as a hygienic alternative to physical, printed menus, providing peace of mind to customers concerned about picking up an illness or germs when they dine out.
Printed menus, which are handled by countless customers and staff members throughout the day, can easily become avenues for germs and bacteria. Most antibacterial cleaning products require several minutes to take full effect. Plus, if printed menus are wiped down with a single cleaning cloth between uses, the cloth will actually spread germs across multiple menus, not wipe them away. As a result, printed restaurant menus may actually be the dirtiest thing customers will come in contact with in a restaurant. On the other hand, digital menus offer a hygienic alternative to printed menus that helps protect guests from unwanted germs and prevent the spread of illness during peak seasons. Let’s explore the benefits of digital menus in a public dining environment… |
Minimize Spread of Germs
Digital menus, typically accessed via QR codes that customers scan with their smartphones, offer a touch-free menu solution that supports overall hygiene and safety. By eliminating the need for physical menus that must be cleaned and sanitized between each use, digital menus minimize the risk of cross-contamination, as customers interact only with their personal devices.

Real-Time Menu Updates
In addition to hygiene, digital menus offer the advantage of being easily updated in real-time. This means restaurants can quickly adjust their offerings without the need to reprint physical menus. This process is not only more efficient but also eliminates printing costs and associated waste.

Enhance Contactless Services
Furthermore, contactless payment options complement digital menus by allowing customers to complete their entire dining experience without having to touch shared surfaces. This comprehensive approach to minimizing physical contact helps reassure customers that their health is a top priority.

Final Considerations for Printed Menus
One concern some might have is the accessibility of digital menus for all patrons. While most people have smartphones, not everyone is comfortable using them to access menus. To address this, restaurants can provide printed menus upon request, ensuring that all guests feel accommodated while still promoting the use of digital menus as the default option. Clear instructions and friendly assistance from staff can also help ease the transition for those unfamiliar with QR code technology.
In conclusion, by switching to digital menus restaurants can significantly reduce the risk of spreading illness and provide a more hygienic dining experience for their patrons that meets their latest expectations for health and hygiene.
