What it is
Prestau Menu Author is a web-based tool for creating and managing restaurant menus across digital channels. Its point-and-click and drag-and-drop editor previews the customer-facing menu, and users can review changes in the CMS without publishing them to test restaurants. Menu controls include dayparting, out-of-stock signals, badges, recurring schedules, meal groups, and A/B testing. Menu Publisher can activate or remove items, categories, and modifiers according to dates, and offers previews of a menu as it appeared or will appear on a selected date. Supported channels include web, apps, kiosks, drive-throughs, and menu boards, alongside delivery services and restaurant-owned channels. Listed POS connections include NCR, Lightspeed, Toast, Square, Clover, and Revel Systems. Delivery orders from multiple platforms can be consolidated in one interface and synced to the POS. The free plan is per month, per restaurant, with a one-channel and ten-store maximum. The Standard Plan costs $49 a month, per restaurant, and lists up to three channels and 250 stores. Onboarding for free-plan users is offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
