DEFINITION
A weekly menu is a restaurant menu that rotates dishes by day of the week. The same restaurant serves a different lineup each weekday, usually a fixed-price set of starter, main and dessert known in Spanish as menú del día. The base menu stays the same week to week; the featured dishes change daily on a seven-day cycle.
A digital weekly menu publishes that rotation online so guests always see the current day's lineup when they scan a QR code, without the restaurant reprinting anything. In Spanish-speaking markets this is published as a menú del día digital.
THE DIFFERENCE
A weekly menu makes sense when your kitchen plans by the day. Use a standard menu when your offering is stable week to week.
THE KIT
Everything you need to publish a weekly menu that updates itself as the days roll by.
Tag every dish with the days it's available. Monday soup, Friday paella, weekend brunch. Each dish appears only on the days you choose.
Customers landing on your menu see today's dishes first. The current day is detected automatically and pinned to the top.
Snap a photo of your printed weekly menu. AI detects the days, extracts the dishes and organizes them into per-day categories for you.
Day names render in your menu's language. Lunes, Monday, Segunda-feira, Lundi. Switch languages and labels update everywhere.
Each day becomes a clean card with its own dishes. Customers can browse the full week or focus on what's served today.
Run a weekly rotation alongside breakfast, lunch and dinner sections. Weekly menus and meal periods coexist without conflict.
HOW IT WORKS
Take a picture of your weekly chalkboard or printed menu, or start from scratch in the dashboard. Either path works in minutes.
The importer recognizes day headers and assigns each dish to the right weekday. Spanish, English, Portuguese, French and more are supported.
Review the AI suggestions, tweak prices, swap dishes between days and add allergens or photos. Save and your weekly menu is live.
Place one QR on every table. Whatever day a customer scans, the current day's menu is highlighted at the top automatically.
QUESTIONS
A weekly rotating menu is a restaurant menu that changes dishes by day of the week, usually as a fixed-price set known as menú del día. The base offer stays consistent week to week while the featured starter, main, and dessert rotate on a seven-day cycle.
Yes. Upload a photo of your printed weekly or daily menu and the AI importer recognizes day headers like Monday, Lunes, or Segunda-feira. It groups the dishes under each day automatically, so you can publish a structured digital version in minutes.
It's built for menú del día. Spanish and Latin American restaurants can publish a daily fixed-price menu with starters, mains, and desserts assigned to each weekday. The current day's selection is shown first when guests scan the QR.
Both. The default view highlights today and lets customers expand other days. You can also switch to a full-week view where every day is visible at the same time, which works well for printed-style digital menus.
Yes. Day labels are translated into the menu's active language, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and more. Dish names and descriptions can be translated alongside the day headers.
