The Future Of Menus

Stuff We Love
Sept. 19, 2020

Touchless retail and food service are all the rage these pandemic days, so we’re toasting northern Michigan’s own Kevin Spagnuolo, who acted quickly this spring and started Menus Today, which lets diners safely and quickly scan a code and view real- time restaurant menus right on their smartphones — and lets restaurant operators save on printing and make instant updates to their menus. Spagnuolo tells us the virtual menus increase draft beer and cocktail sales, and he has plenty of local clients to prove it, including The Cooks’ House, The Parlor, Rove Estate, and several national players like 91 Dave & Buster’s locations.
