What is an Online Menu?
An online menu (or digital menu) is a web‑based version of your food and beverage menu that customers can access from their smartphone, tablet, or computer. With Spin Menus, your online menu goes beyond a simple PDF – it becomes an interactive experience with categories, a spin wheel, and ordering capabilities.
