Smart Menu Management Platform
Daily Menu Builder
Digitizing hotel menu planning, governance, and multilingual presentation.
Business Challenge
Hotel daily menus were traditionally prepared in Word files, which made the process dependent on manual formatting, scattered documents, and limited review capability. Management could not easily analyze menu history, cuisine balance, or whether the served items matched the preferences of the guests in house.
Solution Overview
The Daily Menu Builder centralizes the full menu workflow. Chefs can create menus by date, restaurant, and meal, select dishes from a master dish database, add new dishes, translate dish names, assign categories and cuisine/origin, preview the final menu, and export or print it in a professional hotel-branded design. Menus are saved in a centralized database so the General Manager and concerned departments can review, evaluate, and track menus historically.
Key Features

Architecture & Workflow
