Maki, nigiri, chirashi, donburi: names that mean nothing to a guest who is new to them. In photos, they understand. Menu in 5 languages included, 0% commission.
A Japanese menu uses a vocabulary many guests have not mastered, maki, nigiri, sashimi, chirashi, donburi, gyoza, tataki. These are the correct terms, not fanciful names, but for a newcomer they are opaque words they will not take a chance on.
So they order the platter they know, or the six California rolls they have already had elsewhere. The dishes that take the most work, a well-built chirashi, a tataki, the chef's platter, stay on the menu because nobody knows what they look like.
Platters raise one more problem. A guest hesitating between three platters at different prices wants to see what is in them, and the list of pieces does not really tell them what they will find on the plate.
A photo of nigiri next to the word “nigiri”, and the guest has understood without asking anything. They order what they see, including the tataki or the chirashi they would not have chosen on a name alone.
In a photo, the gap between an €18 platter and a €26 platter becomes obvious, and the guest sees what more they are getting.
The menu can be read in French, English, Spanish, Italian and German, in both plans. A guest from abroad understands what a chirashi is and makes a real choice, instead of taking a platter by default.
On a menu where soy, sesame and raw fish are everywhere, the question comes up at every service. Each dish carries its allergens and its labels, vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free, readable at a glance.
The guest scans the QR code and your menu opens on their phone, with no app to install.
Screens from RestoAll on a sample restaurant with fictional data, most of them from the French version.
One laminated card per table, offered as an extra, or one of the thirty stickers included in the subscription. Another near the till is useful for takeaway, where seeing the platters helps the guest put their order together.
Not every service earns its place in every trade, and we would rather tell you before you have paid. Online booking and reviews are in Essential; loyalty, table ordering and Click & Collect are in Complete.
Very good fit
Platters sell a lot as takeaway, and they can be ordered without having to ask anything. The guest builds their order from the photos, pays and picks a collection time, and the order reaches you complete while the phone stays on the hook. You cap the number of orders per slot so that the slicing can keep up.
Good fit
In the dining room, the guest chooses their platters from the photos and pays from the table, then the order shows up in the app. The team stays on preparation instead of going back and forth to write orders down.
Good fit
A neighbourhood Japanese restaurant lives largely off the lunch that comes back every week, and a loyalty card follows exactly that rhythm.
Good fit
Lunch fills up in twenty minutes and dinner is prepared in advance. The guest books their lunch or dinner slot online, you set the length of the meal according to the number of covers, and the waiting list takes those who come too late, without the phone ringing during the rush.
The photo menu, the thirty QR codes and online booking are in Essential at €49.99 a month. Table ordering, Click & Collect and loyalty come with Complete at €99.99. Everything is open during the thirty-day trial.
