A daily menu that tourists could not read

The chalkboard was the problem.

Rako writes the menu every morning at the door, in a single language, and in Figueres half the street is tourists.

They stopped, looked and kept walking until they found a menu they could read.

Something similar happened on Google Maps: it came up behind others in the area and without a single photo of the dishes.

What we did: the menu translated from a photo

We started with the restaurant’s bread and butter.

Rako photographs the chalkboard and the menu is turned into text, translated into 7 languages and published on Google, on the restaurant’s website and on social media.

At the same time, the listing: photos of the day’s dishes and replies to reviews. It went from having a few bare details to showing today’s menu.

Rako’s morning is the same. The chalkboard gets written and then photographed; it takes less time than serving a coffee.

How Menuveo does it

With Menuveo you take a photo of the chalkboard and the menu is translated and published on Google, on your website and on the QR before you open.

What changed: more people tapping “directions”

Clicks on “directions” went up by 180%.

It is the button people tap once they have decided to come.

You can see it at the door too: tourists read the menu in their own language and no longer stand there hesitating. The restaurant beat its record for set menus served in one day.

Rako still writes the chalkboard. Now it can be read in seven languages.

Before

  • The menu, only on the chalkboard and in one language.
  • Tourists stopped at the door and kept walking.
  • On Maps it came up behind others in the area.
  • No photos of the day’s dishes.

After

  • One photo of the chalkboard and the menu is written up.
  • Translated into 7 languages, on Google, website and social media.
  • Tourists read the menu before coming in.
  • 180% more clicks on “directions”.
