Digital menu

Your menu, on your own website

A real Clay site, built from a Google listing

Not a PDF. Not a photo of a chalkboard. A menu people can read on a phone, that you change from your phone.

The most opened page on any restaurant website is the menu, and the most common thing to find there is a PDF from two price rises ago that opens sideways.

A Clay menu is part of the page. Courses, dishes, descriptions, prices and up to eight short tags a dish, changed on your phone between services and live before you put it back in your pocket.

What it looks like

Courses, not a wall

Dishes group into courses and the courses do the navigating. On a phone that means somebody looking for the vegetarian option finds it in one scroll rather than pinching a PDF.

Prices are text, so they are searchable, readable by a screen reader, and translatable by a phone that is set to another language.

Changing it

Sold out is one tap

The single most useful thing about a digital menu is not that it is pretty, it is that it can be wrong for ten seconds instead of a week. Change a price behind the bar and the next person to open it sees the new one.

Prices go up the same way. Nobody has to open a design tool, export a PDF and email it to whoever has the website password.

A price change is live before the next table

Up to eight short tags a dish, in your own words

Dishes grouped by the course you type

A second menu for evenings, or a seasonal one

What you get

Read from your own site

If you already publish your menu anywhere with structured data on it, Clay reads it and fills the first version in for you.

A photograph per dish, if you want one

Optional and per dish. A menu of forty photographs is worse than a menu of four, so it is a choice, not a slot to fill.

In your language

A site generated for a business in Amsterdam comes out in Dutch. The menu is not translated from English; it is written in the language the business is in.

Your photographs, already sorted

Clay reads the pictures on your Google listing, grades them, crops them for the shape each band needs and puts the best one at the top. Nothing to upload, nothing to resize.

What it looks like when it is live

Drawn rather than described, the page, the address, and what it can switch on.

Questions

Can I keep a PDF as well?

You can link to one, but the page menu is what people will read. A PDF cannot be searched by Google, cannot be read aloud by a phone, and opens badly on half of them.

How do I mark something sold out?

You cannot, a menu dish has no sold-out switch. Only a SHOP product has one. Take the dish off the menu while it is gone and put it back afterwards: a shop with a real sold-out flag.

Can I have a lunch menu and a dinner menu?

Yes, as many as you need, each with its own courses. Only the ones you publish are on the page.

Do you handle allergens properly?

Not as a field. A dish carries up to eight short tags you type yourself and the first is used as its course, so seven are left for marks, no icon set, no list to tick, nothing validating what you write: what that actually gets you.

Will my menu show up in Google?

It is real text on a real page with restaurant structured data around it, which is what a search engine wants. A photograph of a chalkboard is not.

Can people scan a code at the table to open it?

Yes, and the code costs nothing because it is a picture of your own address, it never expires because the address never changes: a QR code menu.

Can I show prices in a second currency?

No, one currency, the one you trade in. A converted price on a menu goes wrong the week the rate moves and nobody notices.
