Great idea. Execution looks solid, feature set is solid. Now go sell, sell, sell.

My thought: your target market likely maintains both a nice printed menu and potentially a leaner "take-out" menu. The reason for the PDF menu is (I'm guessing) that's what they got back from their designer for the printer, and it's going onto good stock, getting laminated, etc.

One stumbling block might be that it's yet another place to have to maintain their menu/prices. If ChompStack could spit out a simplified take-out menu (or the daily special insert in the menu) they could print, that might reduce some of that effort. Or maybe a "patchfile" they can send off when they update their prices.

Interesting idea... my initial thought is that restaurants generally like to have nice customized menu designs. But then again, maybe not, maybe they'd rather just be able to input all of their data and get back a simple, usable design without much effort.
