Designed for the room, not the lobby
Quiet typography and high-contrast templates that work under bedside lamps and morning sun.
In-room dining
In-room dining menus, designed as permanent editions.
A QR card on the nightstand, a printed sheet in the binder, a hosted link in the booking confirmation — all rendered together each time you publish.
Built for the way hotels operate
A room-service menu that respects guests and operations.
Daypart-aware menus
Breakfast, all-day, late-night — publish each as its own menu with its own QR, or one menu with timed sections.
Translations that fit your guest mix
Generate the menu in multiple languages, switchable from the same hosted link. No printing one card per language.
QR cards built for the bedside
Print-ready cards sized for nightstands and welcome packets — branded to your hotel system.
Print-ready PDFs in hotel formats
A4 and US Letter for the in-room binder. Tall card stock for the bedside. Tri-folds for the welcome desk.
Multi-property friendly
Run different menus per property with a shared core. Each location gets its own QR and printable assets.
Across the daypart
Breakfast, all-day, late-night — each with its own card.
Print one QR card per service window, or run a single menu with timed sections that reveal the right items based on time of day.
Either way, the kitchen sees one source of truth and the guest sees the right menu.
Multi-language
Generate once, serve every guest.
The AI generator writes the menu in the languages your guests actually speak. Toggle on the live link, or export a printed sheet per language.
For a property with a 60-40 international mix, that is real time saved on the concierge desk.
Across properties
Shared core, room to vary by location.
Run a base menu across properties with location-specific overrides — different prices, different specials, same brand voice.
Each location publishes its own assets — QR, PDF, hosted link — without losing the shared baseline.
Common questions
Can I publish multiple menus per room?
Yes. Most hotels publish a breakfast menu, an all-day menu, and a late-night menu — each with its own QR card. Guests scan the right one based on time of day.
What about translations?
Carte's AI generator can produce a menu in multiple languages from the same source. The hosted link supports a language toggle — printed cards can be exported per language.
Can I include allergen, calorie, or dietary information?
Yes. Each item supports allergen and dietary metadata that renders inline on the live menu and on the printed PDF. Calorie display is on the roadmap.
Does this work for boutique hotels and large brands?
Both. Independent operators love the simple per-published-menu pricing. Larger brands appreciate that menus stay in sync across properties without managing PDFs in shared drives.
How do I update prices when costs change?
A published menu is immutable. To change a price, fork the menu in Carte, edit, and publish a new edition. You'll get a fresh QR card and PDF for the new edition; the previous edition's link stays live forever (useful if a guest scans an older card). Reprint nightstand cards on whatever cadence you choose — most properties refresh quarterly or seasonally.
