Most guests open the menu on their phone. A PDF forces them to zoom, pan and wait for the file to download — and Google doesn't index the dishes inside it. An online menu solves all of that in an hour.
Keep your PDF for printing and show guests a convenient online menu — from the same panel.
A guest checking the menu on their phone before a visit opens a PDF designed for an A4 printout. The text is too small, the file loads slowly and navigation needs constant zooming. Some guests simply give up and check the venue next door.
Add to that the problem of freshness: the old file often stays in search results and shows prices from before the increase — a quick route to an awkward conversation at the bill.
Search engines index PDF files far worse than normal pages. A guest who types a dish name and their city into Google won't find your menu — even if that dish is your specialty.
An online menu in WMenu is a normal website: every category and dish is visible to Google, and the venue gains extra visits from search.
With a PDF, raising one price means: open the design, edit, export, upload to the site and swap the links. In an online menu you change the price in the panel and within seconds every guest sees it — at the table, on the site and on Google.
You don't have to choose. Many venues keep a printed version for guests who ask for it and show the online menu on the tables and site. The difference is that the online version is always current — and it's the one working for your visibility online.
Create an account and add the dishes from your PDF — or send us the file and we'll help move it.
Add photos of dishes, allergens and language versions that a PDF can't show.
Instead of a link to the file, add a link to the online menu — and print a QR code for the tables.
Open a real venue's online menu on your phone and compare it with any PDF menu — you'll see the difference in the first second.
Technically it can, but in practice PDF content rarely appears in search results and doesn't create readable subpages. An online menu is a normal website that Google indexes like any other — with dish names and prices.
A standard menu takes less than an hour: you add categories and dishes in the panel. You can also send us your file — we'll help with the migration at the start.
Yes, many venues keep a printed version for guests who want one. The online menu works in parallel — on the tables as a QR code, on the website and on Google.
Swap the link on your site and in your Google profile for the online menu address. It's worth removing the old file from the server or redirecting it, so guests don't land on outdated prices.
Yes, it opens in the browser like a normal page and needs nothing installed. It's also lighter than a typical PDF with graphics, so it loads faster.
