MenuApp - Digital Menu Management Platform

Multi-Tenant Digital Menu Management Platform

Overview

MenuApp is a modern multi-tenant SaaS platform that lets restaurants, cafes, and similar businesses build and manage their digital menus. Built on ASP.NET Core 8.0 MVC with a 3-layer architecture, it gives each user complete data isolation across multiple business profiles. Owners categorize products with images and publish shareable, QR-accessible menu pages for their customers.

What It Does

MenuApp lets a single account independently manage multiple brands, each organized through a hierarchical Brand to Category to Product model. Every business gets a dynamic, slug-based public page (/menu/{slug}) that customers reach directly or via a shareable QR code. Authentication is handled through ASP.NET Core Identity and Google OAuth, while session-based state lets owners switch the active business inside the admin panel.
