Overview
Eating out in Paris
Paris has thousands of cafés, bistros and brasseries, from the classic zinc counter to neo-bistros in the 11th and tasting menus around the Champs-Élysées. The ardoise — the chalkboard of daily dishes — is part of the city's culture.
With tens of millions of visitors a year, restaurants in central arrondissements explain the menu in English all day. A translated QR menu takes that work off the staff and keeps the daily dishes current.

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 Paris
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 Paris 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.
