Why Choose a PDF Menu or a Detailed Menu

PDF Menu: Design First

If you already have a menu designed by a graphic designer or want to maintain full control over your visual identity, the PDF Menu is ideal. It allows you to publish exactly the design you envisioned, with controlled typography, colors, and layout.

Detailed Menu: SEO First

If your main goal is to be found on Google and improve your visibility, the Detailed Menu is for you. By building your menu directly on the site, you create text content that can be indexed by search engines, which enhances your SEO and makes it easier for customers to discover your dishes.
