For independent restaurants

Your menu opens on their phone. And a dashboard shows you what diners want.

Diners scan the QR code on the table and your menu opens in their phone’s browser. No app to download. You see which dishes they look at, which they add to their list, and which dishes nobody adds to their list.

The demo menu on a phone: The Brass Ladle, table 4, with Avoid allergens, Vegetarian and Vegan filters, and small plates with prices. The dish photos carry the label Placeholder — stock image.
DemoThe Brass Ladle is an invented demo restaurant. Prices and allergens are made up, and the photos are labelled stock images.

The dashboard: see what diners want, during service

Your dashboard updates through service as diners scan. Figures show up once enough diners have scanned, so no single diner can be picked out.

What they look at
How many visits opened each dish today and last week.
What they add to their list
Diners build a list on their phone to show your server. You see how often each dish is added.
Looked at, not added
The dishes diners open but don’t add. And which dishes nobody adds to their list at all.
Ratings after the meal
Diners can rate the dishes they ate. You see weekly totals once a dish has enough ratings. They’re private, for you only.
Sold out? Switch it off
Mark a dish “Sold out today” or hide it from your phone. Diners who open or reload the menu normally see the change within about a minute.
Prices and dishes
Update prices and descriptions yourself. Keep your printed menus and the price list at your door up to date too.
Dashboard table, Dishes last week: for each dish, views, change, list adds, and looked at but not added. Beef bibimbap 31 views, 9 list adds, 22 looked at but not added.
Example dataEvery number on these screens is made up to show how the dashboard works.
Dashboard Menu tab: Shakshuka switched to Sold out today, with the message Saved. New page loads show it within about a minute.
DemoOne tap to mark a dish sold out. It comes back on its own at 4am.
Dashboard table, Diners’ ratings: weekly totals of Loved it, OK, Not for me and Favourite per dish. Most dishes show Not enough ratings yet.
Example dataRatings are private feedback for you, shown as weekly totals.
The diner’s view after the meal: rate the dishes you ate with Loved it, It was OK, Not for me or My favourite. A note says to tell the server now about anything wrong or an allergy problem.
DemoWhat diners see: a quick rating after the meal, nothing to type.

Digital-first: fewer printed menus, always up to date

Your phone menu shows today’s prices and what’s sold out. You could reprint your paper menu less often.

You’ll still want some printed menus. Some diners can’t or won’t use a phone, the price list at your entrance stays, and allergen information must be available in writing or by asking your staff.

Photos are up to you

You don’t need photos to start. Add your own, pick an example photo from our small library, or show “No photo yet”. Example photos always say “Example photo, not this restaurant’s dish”, so diners are never misled.

Want us to film your dishes? Ask us. It’s an optional extra.

How it works

  1. Book a demo

    We show you BennyEats and set your restaurant up. No setup fee.

  2. Add your dishes and allergens

    Type in your dishes and prices, add photos if you have them, and sign off each dish’s allergens.

  3. Put the QR cards on your tables

    Print your table cards. Diners scan the code and your menu opens. No app to download.

Allergens: only what you’ve signed off. Every dish says ask your server.

The menu shows allergen information only once you’ve signed it off for that dish. Every dish tells diners to ask their server before they order.

“Avoid allergens” is always the first filter on the menu. Diners tick what they need to avoid, and dishes that contain it are hidden, based on your own list. It supports your staff’s allergen conversation. It doesn’t replace it.

Change a recipe? Hide the dish until you’ve signed off its new allergens.

A dish’s allergen section on the demo menu: Contains gluten (wheat), milk, eggs, mustard and sesame, then the note Allergies or intolerances? Ask your server before you order.
DemoMade-up allergens on the demo menu. Nobody has checked them.

On a bigger screen too

The dashboard works on your phone during service and on a computer when you’re planning the menu.

The dashboard on a computer: scans per day as a bar chart and the dishes diners opened most, for the demo restaurant, under an Example data banner.
