Why Beach Resorts and Outdoor Venues Need Digital Menus More Than Anyone

Beach resorts, pool bars, and outdoor dining venues face unique challenges that make traditional paper menus particularly impractical. Sun, sand, wind, water, and sunscreen are the natural enemies of printed materials. Digital menus solve all of these problems while adding capabilities that are impossible with paper.

The Beach Menu Problem

Anyone who has managed a beach bar or resort restaurant knows the struggle. Paper menus get wet, blow away, become sandy and unreadable, and fade in the sun. Laminated menus fare slightly better but still deteriorate quickly and are expensive to replace. Multiplied across dozens of sun loungers and tables, the cost of maintaining readable menus adds up fast.

Order from the Lounger

With GustiQo and a QR code placed at each sun lounger or table, guests can browse the full menu and order without leaving their spot. No need to walk to the bar, no need to flag down staff, no need to wait. They simply scan, choose, and order. Their drinks and food arrive at their location.

Multilingual by Default

Beach resorts typically serve an international clientele. With GustiQo’s automatic translation feature, your menu is accessible in multiple languages. Guests from Germany, France, Spain, the Arab world, and beyond can all read your offerings and place orders in their own language.

Increased Revenue Per Guest

When ordering is effortless, guests order more frequently. That second cocktail, the afternoon snack, the sunset aperitivo — when there is no barrier to ordering, customers are more likely to indulge. Beach resort operators consistently report higher average spending per guest after implementing digital ordering.

For any venue where the elements challenge traditional menus, digital is not just a convenience — it is a necessity.
