Guests use the same table QR or public link, whatever language they choose.
Multilingual restaurant menu software
Serve international guests without managing separate menus.

What is a multilingual restaurant menu?
A multilingual restaurant menu presents the same approved dishes in several languages inside one digital menu. Guests choose their language without opening a separate PDF, while the restaurant keeps names, descriptions, ingredients, dietary labels and allergen information connected to one live catalogue.
One visual menu
Dish images, videos, availability and branding stay consistent across languages.
One source of truth
Restaurant-approved content replaces disconnected translated files.
Made for restaurants with international guests.
Tourist venues, hotels and destination restaurants can explain unfamiliar dishes without asking guests to translate a paper menu on their phones.
How it works
From approved menu copy to every guest’s screen.
Translation belongs inside the menu workflow, not in a collection of separate documents.
Restaurant adds the dish
Name, description, ingredients and safety data begin with the restaurant.
Languages are prepared
Dish content is translated for the languages the venue needs.
Restaurant reviews
The venue checks meaning, culinary wording and safety information before publication.
Guest switches instantly
The same dish, image and video appear in the selected language.
Translation and safety
Language can be assisted. Allergens need human confirmation.
Cravd keeps translation and allergen control separate. AI may help prepare language, but it does not certify safety information or publish allergens by itself.
Restaurant-controlled safeguards
- Allergens stored as structured codes
- Restaurant confirmation required before a dish goes live
- Allergens kept separate from optional ingredient exclusions
- Kitchen-facing information resolved clearly for staff
For the whole operation
Clearer for guests. Easier to manage.
Help guests choose unfamiliar dishes
Video, photography and translated descriptions work together instead of asking words to do everything.
Update once
Change availability, prices or menu details from the restaurant portal without replacing several files.
Keep the restaurant’s identity
Every language uses the same restaurant logo, colours, fonts and approved dish media.
Languages
Eight languages, one menu to maintain.
You write and price the menu once. Each guest sees it in their own language the moment they scan, including right-to-left layout for Arabic — the dish videos and photography stay exactly the same, so there is no second menu to keep in step.
- English
- Spanish
- French
- Italian
- German
- Portuguese
- Arabic
- Czech
When you change a price or add a dish, it changes everywhere at once. There is no version of the menu quietly six months out of date because nobody remembered to send the translator an update.
What to translate, and what not to
Not every field should be machine-translated.
Menu prose and marketing copy translate well, and a light human review is enough. Safety-critical data is different: allergens are stored as numeric codes and rendered from a checked legend in each language, so a translation engine never gets the chance to turn "nut-free" into something dangerous.
The dividing line
- Dish names and descriptions — machine-assisted
- Section and menu titles — machine-assisted
- Allergens — structured codes, human-confirmed
- Dietary tags — fixed values, never free text
Which languages actually get used
You find out which languages your guests order in.
A translated menu is usually a guess about who is in the room. Cravd counts orders by the language they were placed in, so the guess becomes a number you can act on.
Keep the languages that earn their place
If a language carries a real share of orders, it is worth the effort of keeping the menu current in it.
See demand you did not know you had
A language you added on a hunch, or never added at all, shows up in the order counts rather than in anecdotes from the floor.
Staff the floor for the room you have
Knowing which languages guests order in is a rota decision as much as a menu one.
FAQ
Questions about multilingual restaurant menus
How do guests change language?
They choose a language inside the browser menu. No app, account or separate QR code is required.
Do we need a separate menu for each language?
No. Cravd keeps the languages connected to the same restaurant catalogue, dish media and availability controls.
Can AI translate allergen information automatically?
AI can assist with language preparation, but allergen data remains structured safety information and requires restaurant confirmation before publication.
Can kitchen staff receive information in English?
Yes. Guest-facing language and kitchen-facing information can be resolved separately so staff receive clear operational details.
Can we add languages for a specific venue?
Yes. Languages should reflect the restaurant’s actual guest mix and are agreed during setup.
Does Cravd process guest payments?
No. Cravd sends structured orders to the kitchen while the restaurant keeps its normal payment process.
