What is a table-tent and a menyholder
The table-tent belongs to the category of advertising products, it is widely used in the field of sales and service. It is a small stable structure in the form of a house, on which certain information is placed. The category of table-tents includes signs with the words "The table is occupied", "The table is ordered", "There are no seats", etc., which can often be found in catering establishments.
Now let's tell you what a menyholder is. This is also, in fact, an advertising tool that is successfully used in the field of customer service. Menuholders are made of plastic, thick cardboard or glass. They have a square or rectangular shape. Standard designs can be complicated by curly cutouts. According to the type of placement, they are divided into one-sided and two-sided. The latter are widely used in cafes and restaurants for installation on tables.
How to use the table tent and the menyholder
Table-tents and menyuholders are informational in nature. The constructions are used to convey certain information or advertising to the guests of the establishment. They have gained wide popularity in the catering, hotel business and other service industries. Marketing tools are a convenient and inexpensive means of notification.
The menu is placed in cafes and restaurants on the menuholders. They are installed on tables, which allows visitors to study the list of dishes available for ordering without flipping through the magazine version of the menu. This reduces the risk of contact with foreign objects of common use, which may contain infectious agents.
Types of table-tents and menu stands
The effectiveness of any marketing tool directly depends on the thoughtfulness of the design, format and information content. Restaurateurs have access to a diverse selection of table tents and menyuholders of different price ranges.
Types of table tents:
- vertical with transparent and colored plastic base;
- on wooden base;
- on triangular base;
- vertical plastic L-shaped position;
- with side holder;
- with business card holder;
- with wooden base and engraving, etc.
Inexpensive cardboard models without unnecessary details are suitable for informing customers about short-term restaurant or cafe offers (current promotions). If the table-tent is chosen for long-term use, it is better to choose a more practical design made of plastic or glass.
Advantages of contactless tabletop and menyuholder with QR code
The most profitable solution for owners of catering establishments is to print table–tents and menyuholders with QR codes. Visitors can point their mobile phone camera at this code and access the menu or other relevant information. You can immediately place an online order without waiting for the waiter to come to the table. You can select and order dishes to serve, even while outside the restaurant or cafe, indicating the time of the visit. This is very convenient for many customers and significantly improves the efficiency of catering.
The advantages of the contactless menu are obvious:
- The owner does not have to regularly update up-to-date information on paper, add new dishes, change prices, etc. All necessary adjustments are easily performed through the application, which customers access by scanning the QR code from the account holder and the tabletop.
- It becomes possible to show dishes from the menu. You can add photos of delicious dishes to the application, which will help increase the demand for products.
- Reducing the cost of disinfectants for the treatment of surfaces that customers have to come into constant contact with. The QR code menu does not require direct contact.
- Improving staff efficiency. By receiving orders through an electronic application, waiters can serve customers faster. Also, many owners using such a marketing tool manage to reduce the number of service personnel and, consequently, labor costs.
- Customer base expansion.
The owner of a restaurant or cafe can attract visitors by distributing advertisements with promotional offers, or by developing an interesting loyalty program. For example, by leaving reviews about a restaurant on the website, the customer receives a discount on payment or a gift. Alternatively, add your friends to the restaurant's social network group and receive a delicious dessert as a gift. Such advertising actively stimulates the attendance of the institution and significantly increases the profitability of the business. The necessary interactive QR code can be made on our service.
