Customers begin by opening the Smart Menu web application in their browser. From this point, they can navigate through a structured digital menu organized into categories and subcategories. Each product entry provides detailed information, including images, descriptions, ingredient lists, and allergen warnings where applicable.

Many items can be customized with selectable modifiers, such as size, flavor variations, additional toppings, or preparation instructions. Selected items are added to the cart, where users can review their choices before proceeding. At checkout, the customer chooses from the available payment options configured by the restaurant. Once the order is submitted, it is instantly synchronized with the connected point-of-sale system and dispatched to the kitchen display for preparation, ensuring minimal processing delays..

The web app serves as the primary interface for customers to explore and interact with the Smart Menu system. It operates entirely within the browser, eliminating the need for downloads or installations. Upon scanning the restaurant’s unique QR code, customers are seamlessly directed to the restaurant’s fully customized digital menu. Designed with responsive web technologies, the interface adapts perfectly to any screen size, whether on a smartphone or tablet, ensuring a smooth and consistent experience.

After the user clicks the Start button, the Categories Screen appears as the first interactive stage. This screen organizes the restaurant’s offerings into clearly defined menu categories such as Appetizers, Main Courses, Desserts, Beverages, and any custom sections defined by the restaurant. Categories are displayed in an intuitive grid or list format, often accompanied by icons or representative images for quick visual identification.

When a category is selected, the Product Screen presents a complete overview of all items available within that section, offering customers a clear and organized browsing experience. Each product entry prominently displays its name, price, and a high quality preview image to help customers visually recognize the item.

In addition to these details, the interface includes real-time availability indicators so users know immediately if an item can be ordered. For products that allow customization, interactive modifier options are provided, enabling customers to adjust aspects such as portion size, toppings, flavor preferences, or preparation style before adding the item to their cart. These modifiers are designed to be intuitive, ensuring the customization process feels seamless even for first time users.

The availability information is continuously synchronized with the backend system, reflecting live updates from the inventory and kitchen operations. This ensures that items which are out of stock, temporarily disabled, or unavailable due to operational constraints are automatically hidden or marked as unavailable, preventing any potential confusion.

This approach maintains accuracy, reduces the chance of customer disappointment, and ensures the displayed menu always matches the restaurant’s current stock and service capabilities.

After customers have selected and customized their desired items, they are directed to the cart review interface, which acts as a central hub for order verification before checkout.

On this screen, all chosen products are listed with clear item names, quantities, individual prices, and a running subtotal. This allows customers to quickly confirm they have selected the correct items and specifications. Adjustments can be made directly from this interface, including increasing or decreasing quantities, removing items entirely, or applying promotional codes or discounts when available.

The cart dynamically recalculates totals in real time, ensuring that any changes are instantly reflected in the final amount.

The system also automatically applies relevant taxes, service charges, or delivery fees based on the backend configuration, ensuring compliance with local regulations and transparent pricing for the customer.

Beyond just listing items, the cart screen serves as an important decision making checkpoint where customers can ensure accuracy and completeness. Once satisfied, they can proceed to the checkout process, confident that all details match their expectations and that the order is fully ready for submission.

The checkout stage marks the final step of the ordering process, where customers confirm payment and complete their transaction.

Here, users are presented with the payment options offered by the restaurant, which may include traditional methods like cash and card, as well as modern solutions such as contactless payments, mobile wallets, or integrated online payment gateways. This flexibility allows the system to adapt to different customer preferences and operational setups.

Once the customer selects a payment method, the system securely processes the transaction, ensuring both speed and data security. Immediately after payment, the application displays an order confirmation screen, showing a unique order number and an estimated preparation time based on real-time kitchen workloads.

The Smart Menu Solution is designed to accommodate diverse customer bases through its full multilingual interface, currently supporting both Arabic and English. All visual elements, including labels, buttons, descriptions, and product names, can be fully managed and updated in both languages, ensuring clarity and accessibility for all users regardless of their language preference. This adaptability makes the system suitable for restaurants serving multicultural communities or operating in regions where bilingual service is essential.

Beyond its customer facing features, the system also provides robust data management capabilities. It helps generate detailed reports and analytics covering a wide range of operational metrics such as order history, daily sales, customer purchase patterns, and product performance. These reports can be exported in CSV format for easy integration with other business tools and can be filtered by variables like date range, location, or order type. Such data empowers restaurant managers to evaluate performance trends, identify high demand products, and optimize menu offerings accordingly.

Additionally, the reporting functionality serves as a valuable tool for forecasting, allowing businesses to plan for peak periods, manage inventory effectively, and continuously improve their operational efficiency.
