How quickly is a change to the daily menu visible?

With gastronomx, changes are published in real time. As soon as you save, guests see the updated menu on the website and via the QR code at the table – with no reprint and no delay.

Do I have to declare allergens for changing daily dishes too?

Yes. The labelling requirement under LMIV applies to all food served, including dishes that change daily. Maintain allergens directly on each dish so the declaration stays correct with every change.

Can I hide a sold-out dish during service?

Yes. You set a dish to sold out with a single click. It disappears immediately from the guest view and can be brought back just as quickly once it is available again.

Can I prepare recurring daily dishes in advance?

Yes. You set up dishes once, save them, and reactivate them on the desired day. This saves you from retyping recurring offers every day.

Maintain a daily menu digitally – here's how

By the gastronomx editorial teamUpdated in June 2026Reading time approx. 3 min

A daily menu thrives on change. Anyone who adjusts lunch or daily specials each day knows the problem with chalkboards and printed sheets: slow, error-prone, invisible before the visit. A digital daily menu lets you update in real time, with no reprint. This guide shows a practical routine for every morning and throughout service.

Why the digital daily menu beats the board

The classic chalkboard or laminated sheet has one drawback: it is visible only on site and only as current as the last manual change. A digital daily menu removes these limits entirely.

Guests see today's offer before they even enter the venue – via the website, the QR code at the table, or shared links. That influences the decision to visit and speeds up ordering at the table.

Speed: changes are published in seconds instead of reprinted
Reach: the offer is visible online and at the table at once
Predictability: guests see the menu before they arrive
Consistency: one source for all channels, no outdated sheets

The morning workflow for today's dishes

A fixed morning routine ensures the daily menu is ready on time and complete. With gastronomx you maintain it in just a few minutes, often before the first guest arrives.

Log in to the dashboard in the morning and open the daily menu.
Enter today's dishes with name, a short description, and price.
Add the allergens and additives for each dish.
Check the display in the guest preview for typos and completeness.
Publish the menu – it is instantly live online and at the table.

Set up recurring dishes once and reactivate them when needed, rather than retyping them every morning.

Hiding sold-out dishes during service

Nothing frustrates guests more than a dish that is on the menu but no longer available. During service, stock keeps changing – the digital menu keeps pace in real time.

Keeping the menu current at lunchtime

When a daily dish runs out, set it to sold out with a single click. It disappears immediately from the website and the table QR code, with nothing to reprint or delete. Available again later? One click brings it back.

Scheduling, seasonality and correct allergens

A good daily menu thinks ahead. Seasonal ingredients, recurring weekly offers, and scheduled publishing can be prepared so the morning stays relaxed.

Seasonal: group and rotate dishes by ingredient availability
Prepare: save recurring offers and activate them on the right day
Allergens: label daily dishes too with full LMIV information
Review: adjust allergens and additives at once when a recipe changes

The allergen requirement applies to daily dishes just as it does to the standard menu. Maintain allergens directly on the dish so the information stays correct with every change.

Featuring the daily menu prominently on the website

Showing the daily menu only at the table wastes reach. On the website it becomes a reason to visit – especially at lunch, when guests decide quickly.

Tips for visibility

Place today's daily menu clearly on the homepage
Link to it from social media posts for the lunch rush
Keep the date and availability times clearly visible
Use the QR code to guide guests from the table to the full menu
