Overview
Eating out in Cork
Cork is often called Ireland's food capital. The English Market has traded since the 18th century, and restaurants across the city build menus around West Cork cheese, seafood and meat from nearby farms.
Menus that follow the market change constantly. Cruise ships calling at Cobh and summer visitors heading to West Cork add guests who read English as a second language.

Menu tips
Menu tips for venues in Cork
Name your suppliers
A short supplier line in the description sells the dish, and changing it when the supplier changes takes a minute.
Update seasonal dishes as drafts
Prepare the next season's dishes as a draft in ListoQ while guests still see the current menu, then publish on the day.
Add French and German for summer
Cruise passengers and summer visitors often come from France and Germany, so these two languages are worth adding.

How languages work in ListoQ
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 Cork
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 Cork 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.
