QR code menu in Grenoble: a menu that follows the seasons
Between the Chartreuse, the Vercors and Belledonne, Grenoble keeps time with the mountains: the slopes in winter, terraces and festivals in summer. All year round, students and researchers have lunch in town. A menu that follows those seasons changes often, so it might as well change from your phone.
A winter menu, a summer menu
A Grenoble menu is not the same in January and in July. In winter, when Chamrousse and the Vercors resorts open, skiers pass through the station on their way to the slopes, and it is gratin dauphinois season; in December, the Christmas market on Place Victor-Hugo brings people into the centre. In summer, it is terrace time, and the evenings of the Cabaret Frappé festival in the Jardin de ville.
With ScanEat, you add the season's dishes, take off the last season's and change a price from your phone. When the dish of the day depends on the Estacade, Saint-Bruno or the Halles Sainte-Claire, it goes online before service. The coasters stay on the tables: their QR code always leads to the current menu.
Walnuts, milk, gluten: allergens dish by dish
If Grenoble walnuts, which have their own protected designation of origin, go into your salads or tarts, they count as nuts, one of the 14 allergens the law requires you to state in writing, without the guest having to ask. The milk in a gratin and the gluten in ravioles du Dauphiné are on that list too. On ScanEat, each dish carries its allergens, declared once: the menu shows them dish by dish, and they stay with the dish when you edit it.
Lunch, from the campus to the Presqu'île
At midday, the research teams of the Presqu'île, between the Isère and the Drac, and the students, from the university campus to Berriat, have to be back by a set time. They order from their table, your team accepts the order, and the kitchen follows it on its screen. When a dish runs out, one tap is enough: it shows as sold out on every table at once, and nobody can order it any more.
The pedestrian centre, and the menu in the window
Place Grenette, Place Notre-Dame, Championnet, or Saint-Laurent on the right bank, the quarter with Italian roots: passers-by often choose their table by reading the menu on display. A QR code does not replace it, since the law requires a menu readable from outside, without a phone. Keep it in the window, printed from your digital menu, so it is right on the day you print it; the digital menu works at the table. How the two fit together is in QR code menu, PDF or paper.
Getting started
A photo or a PDF of your menu is enough: we put it online, allergens included, and ship you one coaster per table. Create your menu, then change it as the seasons turn.
