XplorEat est un outil de travail dédié à l’explication de la carte des restaurants, conçu pour les serveurs et sommeliers. Il permet de créer un répertoire digital afin d’approfondir leurs connaissances sur les plats, les produits, les informations propres à l’établissement et donc d’enrichir leur culture culinaire via un contenu encyclopédique interactif. Gastronomy Explorer, l’application web, permet d’intégrer toutes les informations nécessaires pour que le serveur ait une parfaite connaissance de ce qu’il propose aux clients. On y saisit les différents menus, plats, produits et autres informations utiles afin que le personnel de salle ait une connaissance complète de son environnement de travail. Tout est retranscrit sur XplorEat, l’application mobile, pour garantir un accès fluide et rapide, facilitant l’apprentissage ou la révision de la carte et des spécificités du restaurant. Avec une interface claire et logique, l’utilisateur accède à un répertoire des plats détaillé, incluant la description des produits, un storytelling destiné au client, les producteurs associés au plat, ainsi que les allergènes concernés. On y trouve également un répertoire des ingrédients, permettant d’approfondir la connaissance d’un produit, d’une appellation ou d’un producteur. Un répertoire d’informations diverses est également disponible, pour renseigner des éléments essentiels comme l’histoire du chef, du restaurant, la présentation d’une marque de porcelaine, d’argenterie, ou tout autre contenu utile au personnel de salle. XplorEat va faciliter l’accès rapide à l’information et offrir un véritable répertoire organisé des données essentielles au professionnalisme de l’équipe de salle d’un établissement rigoureux.
