A printed menu is out of date the day a dish sells out. A restaurant menu app shows your dishes with photos and labels, highlights today's specials and can change in minutes. Describe your restaurant, the AI agent builds a real Android app, you browse it in the emulator preview and download the APK for your phones and table tablets.

What your restaurant menu app will have

With the idea above, the agent builds a menu that is easy to read at the table:

  • Menu home — a Today's specials banner, then your categories as tabs: Starters, Mains, Pizza, Desserts, Drinks.
  • Dish cards — photo, name, short description, price and small icons for vegetarian, vegan, spicy and nuts.
  • Dish detail — a large photo, the full description, ingredients and any add-ons.
  • Search and filters — "show me vegan dishes" or "no nuts" in one tap.
  • My order — guests add dishes to a list with quantities and show it to the waiter.
  • About — opening hours, address, and call and WhatsApp buttons.

Features you can ask for

  • An owner screen behind a PIN to add dishes, change prices and mark items sold out.
  • Menus that change by time of day: breakfast until 11, then lunch and dinner.
  • A language switch for tourists.
  • Combo deals and "pairs well with" suggestions on each dish.
  • A table number field so the order list reaches the kitchen with the right table, using the hosted backend.
  • A demo payment screen for trying the flow before you decide how guests pay.
  • Your logo, colors and fonts, matched to your printed menu.

Ideas to make it yours

Build a café menu app: coffee in three sizes with milk choices and extra shots, pastries with a sold-out switch, a loyalty card where every tenth coffee is free, and a pickup order screen that shows when the order is ready.
Build a room-service menu for my hotel: guests enter their room number, pick from breakfast, all-day dining and drinks, see the kitchen's hours, and the kitchen gets each order on a tablet with a sound and a Delivered button.
Build a menu app for my food truck: today's location and hours typed in by me each morning, a short menu with photos, sold-out switches, and a pre-order list customers can show at the window.

The hotel or restaurant menu app guide goes deeper into layouts and table ordering. When you are ready for online orders and repeat customers, read the restaurant ordering and loyalty guide; cafés will like the punch-card loyalty app.

Get it on your phone

  1. Press Build this restaurant menu app and sign in with Google.
  2. Paste your real menu into the chat; the agent keeps your categories and dish names. Check it in the emulator preview.
  3. Replace placeholder photos with your own and ask for changes: "bigger prices", "specials in a carousel", "gold dividers between sections".
  4. Press Download APK and install it on your phone and your table tablets after allowing installs once.
  5. To list it on Google Play, build the signed APK and AAB from the same menu; the APK builder page explains signing.

Take dish photos in daylight near a window, from the angle a guest sees the plate. Consistent photos make a simple menu app look far more professional than any design trick.

Keeping the menu up to date

Decide early who changes the menu and how often. If it changes a few times a year, keep the dishes inside the app, ask the agent for edits when needed and download a fresh APK. If specials change daily or dishes sell out every evening, ask for an owner screen and the hosted backend that comes with the project: you edit from your phone and every device shows the new menu at once, without reinstalling. Not every guest wants to install an app, so many restaurants also publish the same menu as a website with the AI website builder and print its link on the table, keeping the APK for staff tablets and regulars.

Frequently asked

How do I change dishes and prices later?

Two ways. Ask the agent for the change and download a new APK, or ask for an owner edit screen with the hosted backend that comes with the project, so updates appear on every phone without reinstalling.

Can guests order and pay in the app?

Guests can build an order list and send it to the kitchen if you add the hosted backend. Real payment gateways are not supported inside apps; the builder can add a demo payment flow, and live restaurants take cash, bank transfer or a payment link sent on WhatsApp.

Can the menu be in two languages?

Yes. Ask for a language switch at the top of the menu and paste the dish names and descriptions in both languages.

Do guests have to install an app to see the menu?

The APK suits regulars and staff tablets. For walk-in guests, build the same menu as a website with the AI website builder and print its link on a table card.

How do I install the menu app on a tablet or phone?

Press Download APK in the builder, open the file on the Android device and allow installs from your browser once.
