Frequently Asked Questions

You may already have a menu in PDF format, and thus offer your customers the ability to view it securely, but is that a performance solution?

At Carte de Restaurant, we offer a dynamic, optimized, and intuitive web-based (HTML) menu.

A brief objective comparison?

Convinced? Compare our plans

Yes!

Your digital menu is accessible through your customers’ mobile browser, so they need to have an internet connection (mobile data or Wi-Fi) to access your menu.

Ensure that mobile networks reach your establishment or, ideally, provide free Wi-Fi service to your customers.

The “One Shot” plan allows for modifying⁽¹⁾ the content of your menu once a year. For professionals whose menu changes infrequently, this plan is perfectly suited.

For professionals needing to modify their menu content with each new season, it is recommended to opt for at least the “Basic” plan.

⁽¹⁾ It is important to note, however, that with the “One Shot” plan, the menu is not editable by the client but by our agency. Therefore, it is recommended to ensure that the menu content is error-free before submitting it to us for integration. However, if a minor error is detected afterwards, we will correct it promptly at no extra cost.

Yes.

You can test our tool simply by requesting it from us.

We will create temporary credentials (valid for 72 hours) allowing you to test our solution and see for yourself its ease of use.

You can display your menu content in two modes:

This mode closely resembles a traditional display. Dishes are listed one below the other. Additional information is accessible by clicking on the name of a dish.

This mode is more pleasant to use when you have images illustrating your dishes; indeed, in this mode, the images are directly visible.

No!

We have chosen to maintain a service closest to your customers:

• Being seated at the table by a server;
• Being advised, if necessary, by the server, on dishes or food/wine pairings;
• Receiving the bill at the end of the meal, from the server, and having the opportunity to give feedback on the time spent in the establishment.

All of this is not possible with certain competing solutions!
As customers, if we were to deal with an app from the beginning to the end of our leisure time, we would opt for a fast-food establishment and not a traditional restaurant!

So, maintain the connection with your customers! Advise them, guide them, accompany them, and gather their impressions.

What plan did you choose?

If you opted for the “One Shot” plan, it only allows us to edit your menu. Make sure to send us your menu as soon as possible so that we can proceed with its integration.

If you opted for the “Basic,” “Pro,” or “Premium” plans, make sure you have sent us your payment; if you haven’t paid by credit card, your menu will only be activated upon receipt of payment.

If you still can’t edit your menu despite this, don’t wait, send us a message so that we can address your request as soon as possible.

We’re sorry to see you go! Would you like to talk to us?

Anyway, at Carte de Restaurant, there’s no commitment, so if you really want to cancel your subscription, here’s how:

1. Go to your customer area
2. Click on the “Subscriptions” tab
3. Click on the “Details” link next to your current subscription
4. Click on the “Cancel” button next to the label “Cancel subscription”

You will be asked to choose between three options:

• Cancel immediately
• Cancel at the end of the billing cycle
• Cancel on a scheduled date

Once you’ve made your choice, click the “Submit” button.
You will receive a confirmation email shortly.

Every job deserves payment

While it’s nice to benefit from free services, it must be acknowledged that every service requires investments and operating costs.

We cover:

• Website hosting
• Domain name purchase
• Hosting of your menus
• Hosting of your image files
• Website SEO
• etc.

So, rather than offering a free plan provided at a loss, with the risk of the service disappearing or suddenly becoming paid, at Carte de Restaurant, we prefer to provide you with a quality service, starting from the basic plan (“One Shot”), for a fair cost.

To offer your menu in multiple languages, you first need to choose the right plan.

Only the “Basic” (optional), “Pro,” and “Premium” plans offer the multilingual function.

Finally, you need to make sure you have the various translated texts available.

The fixed elements of the menus are translated automatically. This includes: dish types, navigation menus, captions, etc.

The dishes that you integrate into your menu must be translated by you. Indeed, it would not be serious to use an automatic translation tool! Depending on the appellations or specific wordings, this could result in non-compliant or incomprehensible texts for your customers.

No. As mentioned above, it seems unprofessional to use a tool like Google Translate to translate the elements of your menus. The translations generated in this way could be incorrect (partially or entirely) and inconvenience your customers.

Not at the moment. Using professional translators incurs a cost, which must be repeated for each chosen language. Rather than offering an expensive service to everyone, we prefer to address the issue on a case-by-case basis.

Yes! Regardless of the chosen plan^*, you can customize your menu according to your needs.

The modifications mainly include:

• Title font ⁽¹⁾
• Title alignment
• Text alignment
• Price alignment
• Title color
• Text color
• Price color
• Menu background color
• Separation visuals
• Presence of the sidebar menu
• Sidebar menu layout
• Sidebar menu color
• Alignment of elements in the sidebar menu

⁽¹⁾ IMPORTANT: Some fonts are subject to copyright, so you can only customize your titles based on the fonts available in your back office.

^* Please note, the “One Shot” plan, while allowing visual customization of the menu, is not editable by you. We will handle integrating your content and strive to match your current paper menu’s visual as closely as possible.
