Allergens are automatically displayed on your digital menu with easily recognizable icons. Customers can also filter dishes based on their dietary restrictions.

Multilingual Menus

Menutiq allows you to create menus in multiple languages, which is ideal for restaurants, bars, and cafeterias catering to an international clientele.
