Overview
Eating out in Marseille
Marseille's food comes from the port: bouillabaisse, grilled fish, sea urchins in winter, and the North African and Armenian influences of a city built by migration. The fish market on the Vieux-Port still sells the morning's catch.
Cruise ships and summer tourism bring large numbers of visitors who read French as a second language. Fish sold by weight or at market price changes daily, which printed menus cannot follow.

Each menu has a default language plus any extra languages you add. You translate item names and descriptions per language; allergen labels and dietary tags come from built-in lists and appear translated automatically. Guests switch language on the menu page itself.
With ListoQ
How ListoQ runs your QR menu in Marseille
One QR code that never needs reprinting
ListoQ gives each venue a permanent QR code and link. Change a price or a dish of the day and guests in Marseille see it the moment you publish.
The 14 EU allergens on every dish
Tag allergens and vegetarian or vegan options per item in ListoQ, so the information guests ask about is on the menu instead of in a folder behind the bar.
Import the menu you already have
AI import in ListoQ reads a PDF, Excel, Word file or photo into a draft. You review it, add your languages and publish when it is ready.
