Overview
Eating out in Rotterdam
Rotterdam rebuilt itself as a modern city, and its food scene followed: the Markthal, Fenix Food Factory, Katendrecht's restaurants and the kapsalon, invented here. Many cuisines arrived with the port and the city's diverse population.
Erasmus University, the port and events such as the marathon and North Sea Jazz bring international guests. Menus change often and serve both Dutch and English speakers.

With ListoQ
How ListoQ runs your QR menu in Rotterdam
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 Rotterdam 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.
