      Many restaurants definitely lack a visual element. It's one thing to describe what is in the meal and another to see it and fantasize about eating it.
  • The fact that a steakhouse that is operating over 100 years decided just three years ago to work with eMenu speaks for itself

  • No one will order another entree, but our eMenu strength is to entice people to order an appetizer, cocktail, side dish or dessert.

  • A restaurant can use eMenu to feature and promote private rooms, catering packages, special events such as sports games, bands and more.

    This article is about a company named eMenue International that offers a revolutionary way of allowing customers to order their food. Instead of the traditional paper menues, guests would be given iPads where they could view pictures and videos of the food that is available to order. This visual element was added in on the premise that people are more enticed by visual elements rather than descriptions of the meal. This technology was adopted by one of NYC's oldest steakhouses agter 100 years, which bodes very well for the business since checks increas by up to 9% after a couple of months. Some of the most valuable aspects of this new method of ordering is the ability for someone to view menue items in the native tongue, widening the range of customers restaurants can receive, increasing profits. Another thing to note is that this menue allows people to click on a tab that caters to their specific dietary needs. In terms of marketing, this could be great since it also offers the ability to showcase the different amenities in the restaurant whther that means meeting space or event packages.

  • Experts say pandemic could provide watershed moment for technology, potentially leading to more sustainable tourism
  • With globe-trotting banned in the pandemic, increasing numbers of people are turning to virtual reality to relieve pent-up demand for travel.
  • As historic sites are damaged through mass tourism, recreating them in VR could help conserve them.

    As an example of VR use for sustainable tourism, on October 16, the Boca Raton Museum of Art in Florida debuted the first of its kind, full-motion, 360-degree, interactive VR experience of the Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru exhibition. In order to preserve this historic site, less than one million visitors are allowed in each year. On-site use of VR tech for a synchronous guest experience is also being explored and has the potential to be disruptive to use of tour guides. Plus, VR technology provides such rich immersive travel experiences that traditional marketing tools like pictures or standard print ads cannot match.
