Elevator Pitch – WOLRD MENU 
World menu helps restaurants / hotels / cafés to solve the 
problem of language barrier as well as the labour-intensive 
process of updating menus by providing professionally translated 
up-to-date digital menus in any language. This is better than the 
common process of translating menus manually and internally as 
done by many restaurants nowadays because it saves time, 
labour force and will provide professional translations, which 
ultimately leads to a improved customer experience.
