Why Use This Widget

Use the Restaurant Menu Flip Cards widget when you want customers to explore dishes in a visual, space saving way. The front can show a dish photo and name, while the back reveals ingredients, price, and notes like spice level or dietary tags. This helps guests browse by appetite and curiosity, then flip for details only when interested. The layout stays compact, making it perfect for mobile menus, specials, and tasting lists. Interactive flipping turns menu reading into discovery, which increases engagement and can lead to more confident ordering. It also lets you highlight signature dishes with strong visuals while keeping the rest of the page clean.
