How Easy Light Menu works
Kits ship to your restaurant. Guests 50+ pinch-to-zoom, tap a dish for motion, and actually see the plate. Email changes — subject is your restaurant name. We update the live menu and confirm by email. No on-site install. No owner IT.
We ship your kit
Custom leather folios + iPads + tethers + dock share ship to the restaurant. Unbox, plug the dock in, charge overnight, open the live menu URL. No technician on site.
Your live menu is loaded
Food, drinks, nested categories (Drinks → Martinis), specials, dish motion where you have it, short service clips, and weekend events / bands — at launch.
Open. Wipe. Table.
Morning: pull charged units off the dock, quick clean, place on tables. Close: collect, dock overnight.
Guests read — finally
Backlit screens. Pinch-to-zoom like a phone. Tap an appetizer → smoking / animated dish plus a short professional clip of polished service (place setting, candle). Built for high-end rooms and guests over fifty.
Email changes — subject is your restaurant name
Email changes — subject is your restaurant name. Send 86s and price updates to changes@easylitemenu.com (menu questions to menus@easylitemenu.com). We update the live menu and confirm by email. Plain English in the body. No owner IT.
