Restaurants in Dubai and London serve guests from everywhere, and the team on the floor does not always share a language with the table. WowMenu lets the guest browse and order in their own language while your staff read the same order in the language they work in.
The owner chooses a staff language in Settings: Arabic, English, Hindi, Urdu, Malayalam, Filipino, Bengali, Nepali, French, Vietnamese, Chinese or Russian. Every dish name then also appears in that language. If the guest is already browsing in it, only one name shows.
When a table is ready to order, Show to staff opens a full-screen order in large staff-language text, with quantities, options, round numbers and allergies, so a server can read exactly what the table ordered.
Staff-language names come from the names on your menu. A coverage check in the portal shows how many dishes already have a name in your chosen language and flags the ones that do not, so you know what to fill in. Included from the Menu plan.
How it connects
What the owner sets up or sees in the portal, and what the guest sees in the QR menu. Screens are from the demo restaurant, Maison Lumière, with demo data.
Pick a staff language, and every order can be read in it
The owner chooses the staff language and sees how many dishes already have a name in it. Guests keep browsing in their own language, and the order opens for staff in large text.
Key benefits
What Staff-Language Ordering does for your restaurant
Staff-language dish names
Pick a staff language once in Settings. Each dish shows its name in that language beside the guest's language, or a single name when they match.
Show to staff
A full-screen order in large staff-language text with quantities, options, round numbers and allergies, so nothing is lost in translation.
A coverage check
See how many dishes already have a name in the chosen language, and which ones still need one.
How it works

In Settings, pick from twelve languages. The setting is yours to change at any time.
