Read full description

With the ReadID NFC app you can read the NFC chip that is in your passport or identity card, using the NFC capability of your iPhone (iPhone 7 or later). This app is based on ReadID, a mobile identity document verification technology. It can read and verify the authenticity of identity documents that have a chip, which includes most passports and many identity cards. Before being able to read the chip, the app first needs to scan the so-called Machine Readable Zone of the identity document since this contains the password needed to get access to the chip. This app works client-only, meaning that the personal data from your identity document does not leave your phone.

Read full description

MenuWiki Business is how you run the place from your phone: the menu online, the QR code on the table, and the reservation book. YOUR MENU ONLINE, WITHOUT A WEBSITE Your menu lives at an address carrying the name of your restaurant. Share it as a link, or as a QR code on the table, in the window, on a flyer. Whoever opens it downloads nothing. CHANGE A PRICE IN TEN SECONDS Mark a dish unavailable and it drops off the menu. Change a price and the guest at the table already sees the new one. No reprinting, no call to whoever built your website. START FROM A PHOTO OF THE PAPER MENU Photograph the menu you already have, upload a PDF, or point the app at your website. It comes back with sections and dishes, you correct what needs correcting, then you publish. The suggestion comes from an artificial intelligence model, so read it before you trust it. The app asks you before any photo leaves the device. GUESTS READ IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE The public menu opens in English, Italian, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese. The German tourist reads German, and you are not maintaining six separate menus. ALLERGENS THE WAY THE LAW ASKS FOR THEM The fourteen EU allergens are already in the app. Tick them on a dish and they appear on the public menu, spelled out in the language of whoever is reading. THE RESERVATION BOOK IN YOUR POCKET Service hours, tables, closing days and holidays are set once. Bookings you take by phone go straight into the app, and the Today screen tells you how many covers you have, who is coming and when. A new booking arrives with a notification. DISH PHOTOS Add a photo to a dish and it reaches the public menu, already resized so it opens quickly on a weak connection. MORE THAN ONE PLACE If you run two or three, they all sit in the same account and you switch between them. ON THE WEB Everything also works from your computer, at menuwiki.app: same account, same data. FREE The app is free and the menu stays online. IF SOMETHING IS WRONG Write to support from Settings and we answer, with a reference number you can read out over the phone.
