The digital menu for your bar

A bar lives several lives in a single day — breakfast, coffee break, lunch, afternoon snack, aperitivo — and paper can't keep up. The digital menu for bars is a price list you update from your phone in a minute: the new product, the tweaked price, the freshly baked cake. Customers open it from the QR on the counter, on the table or in the window, without downloading anything. Here's how it works inside the day of a real bar.

An always up-to-date price list, with no reprints

A bar's price list changes more often than a restaurant's: the supplier tweaks prices, the new flavour arrives, the Christmas panettone makes way for Easter pastries. On paper every change means laminated lists to redo and chalkboards to rewrite; with a digital menu you open the dashboard, correct the item and the change is online in real time, on every QR in the venue.

This also eliminates the bar classic: the price corrected with correction fluid or the sticky note on the list, which signals neglect right where the customer decides. The digital menu is always tidy, always true, and the freshly baked cake gets added as an off-list special in thirty seconds.

Breakfast deals with highlighted banners

Breakfast is the bar's daily battle, and it's won with the right offers shown at the right moment. With Ordinami.it you put promotions at the top of the menu and add clickable promotional banners: the customer who opens the QR immediately sees the cappuccino-and-croissant deal, and one tap takes them straight to the offer. When the promotion ends, you remove it from the dashboard in an instant.

From the MEDIO plan the banner and the menu cover can also be a video: the coffee being poured, the croissant torn open, the pastry display — a few seconds of movement worth more than any sign. And the same logic works for aperitivo: from 5pm the spritz-and-sharing-board deal takes the place of breakfast, on the same QR.

The QR in the window works even when the counter is packed

The menu QR doesn't live only on the tables: in the window it catches passers-by deciding whether to come in, and at the counter it answers the most frequent question — "what do you have?" — without tying up whoever's making the coffees. From the dashboard you download an elegant PDF print with the venue's logo, ready for counter, window and tables; the code never changes, so you print it once.

The same menu link goes on your Google Business Profile and social media: whoever searches "breakfast near me" finds your up-to-date price list, not a faded photo from two years ago. For details on print sizes and materials, see the QR code menu guide.

Aperitivo on the terrace: ordering from the table

The moment a bar loses the most sales is aperitivo on the terrace: full tables, one person on shift, and the second spritz that never gets ordered because nobody comes by to ask. With the MEDIO plan the customer orders directly from the QR on the table: they choose, press and hold to confirm, and the order reaches the counter, while whoever's working brings drinks out instead of collecting orders.

Every table has its own unique session — the group orders together, on the same bill — and the configurable anti-spam timer keeps the pace of orders under control. No commission on orders: the subscription covers everything.

Allergens and tourists: two problems solved in one go

Pastries, sandwiches and sharing boards are full of gluten, milk and nuts, and at the counter there's never time to reconstruct the ingredients out loud. With Ordinami.it the allergens required by EU/UK rules (Regulation 1169/2011) are listed per product and highlighted in red for the customer, who on first opening the menu can also select their own: they see straight away what's right for them.

If the bar is in a tourist area, the menu in 6 languages does the rest: tourists pick their language on first opening and read the price list and allergens translated with a food glossary that doesn't mangle product names. They order with more confidence, they order more, and they don't monopolise the counter to have someone explain what a marocchino is.

What it costs and how to get started

For a bar the natural entry point is the BASE plan at €29.90 a month: an always up-to-date price list, QR, photos, promotions and allergens. MEDIO at €49.90 adds ordering from the table, videos and the 6 languages — the right choice if you have a terrace or lots of tourists. PRO at €69.90 is for the bar that wants customers to come back, with loyalty card, Google review collection and statistics. The full comparison is on the digital menu pricing page.

A bar's price list can be uploaded in one evening: you create your account, enter the categories — coffee, breakfast, lunch, aperitivo — and tomorrow morning the QR is on the counter. Immediate activation, no lock-in, WhatsApp support 7 days a week.
