The reality of running a restaurant in Bilbao
Bilbao is a bilingual city with booming international tourism since the Guggenheim changed everything. Your restaurant in Casco Viejo competes with dozens of pintxo bars in the Siete Calles. A French visitor looks at your chalkboard and cannot understand what a 'txangurro' or 'gilda' is. They walk next door to the place with photos. A local searches for the Basque version of your menu and only finds Spanish. A German group asks about allergens and your waiter improvises. Meanwhile, you change the daily pintxo and your printed menu is already outdated. In a city with over twelve hundred restaurants, every table you lose someone else wins.
In a city with 1.2M tourists per year and 2.500 restaurants competing, your printed menu makes you invisible. Tourists can't understand the menu, get frustrated, and go to the restaurant next door that has a digital menu with photos. This isn't a luxury, it's survival.
EU Regulation 1169/2011 requires declaring 14 allergens in hospitality. Checking them manually dish by dish is a human error waiting to happen. A single mistake can mean a severe allergic reaction, a fine of up to €60,000, or temporary closure of the venue.
Updating the printed menu every time a price changes or a dish sells out costs time and money. Between designer, printing, and distribution, the average annual cost for a restaurant is €800-€1,200. With IAMenu, that cost is €0 because the QR updates in real time.

How IAMenu transforms your Bilbao restaurant
Pintxos en euskera, español e idiomas turísticos al instante
IAMenu traduce tu carta a euskera, inglés, francés, alemán y hasta 29 idiomas con IA. El turista del Guggenheim entiende qué es un txangurro, el bilbaíno ve su carta en euskera y el francés del TGV pide sin dudar. Más comprensión, más pedidos, más ticket medio. Sin necesidad de contratar traductores: la IA entiende el contexto gastronómico vasco y traduce con precisión platos como 'marmitako', 'txipirones en su tinta' o 'kokotxas al pil-pil'.
Alérgenos automáticos para tus pintxos
La IA detecta los 14 alérgenos UE automáticamente: gluten en la gilda, marisco en el txangurro, lácteos en la tarta de queso. Menos errores, menos sustos, más tranquilidad para ti y confianza para el cliente en el Ensanche o Bilbao La Vieja. Cumples con la normativa europea 1169/2011 sin esfuerzo. Cada vez que actualizas un pintxo, los alérgenos se recalculan automáticamente.
