FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do catering businesses need online menus?
Organisers shortlist caterers by what they can serve for their type of event. An online menu shows dishes, prices and dietary information in a page that is quick to read on a phone and easy to update.
Is a PDF menu enough?
A PDF is hard to read on a phone and harder for search engines to understand. A web page works better, with a PDF as an extra if you like.
How do we keep the menu current?
Give staff simple editing access, or pull the menu from the ordering system so there is one source.
