How to translate your restaurant menu automatically to attract tourists
Tourism in Portugal hits record numbers year after year, bringing restaurants customers from every part of the world. Capturing that audience's attention and making sure they order with confidence means the menu has to be available in each visitor's own language.
The end of language barriers, and higher spend
Translating physical paper menus usually ends in heavy printing bills, literal translations that get things wrong, and a cluttered table covered in menus in several languages. The language barrier makes people hesitate when ordering, so tourists fall back on simpler dishes or skip the higher-value starters and drinks.
Automatic, context-aware translation solves that straight away. When the customer opens the menu on their phone, they see the whole offering in their own language, clearly and accurately. Understanding exactly what is in a dish and what the house recommends creates instant confidence — which shows up as bolder orders and larger checks.
AI translation with the Akuti Digital Menu
The Akuti Digital Menu platform uses advanced artificial intelligence to convert your whole menu into multiple languages. The descriptions keep their culinary precision, so traditional Portuguese cooking terms are explained clearly to visitors from abroad.
Beyond the automatic translations, the digital menu lets you add photographs and/or videos of each dish, so tourists see exactly what they are about to order, whatever language they speak.
