gastronomx and DISH at a glance
What DISH stands for
DISH by METRO bundles digital hospitality tools within the METRO environment – including a website builder, reservations, and online ordering, in some cases with free entry-level tiers. For businesses that are already operating within the METRO ecosystem, this is a natural offering.
What gastronomx stands for
gastronomx is an all-in-one platform for the hospitality industry. Reservations are one of several modules – alongside them there is the digital menu with QR code, a full-featured website with your own domain and email, online ordering with payment, and reviews. The core idea: you maintain your content just once, and it appears consistently everywhere. Everything runs in a GDPR-compliant manner on servers in the EU.
