Welcoming the World: Why Global Currency Support Matters for Your Restaurant

If your restaurant is in a tourist area or a major city, you're serving customers from all over the world. For these international visitors, trying to do mental currency conversions while ordering can be confusing and stressful. It creates a small but significant point of friction in their dining experience.

ScanOrderGo offers a simple yet powerful solution: Global Currency Display.

What is Global Currency Display?

From the top of the menu page, customers can select their preferred currency from a dropdown list. Our system then uses real-time exchange rates to instantly show an estimated price for every item on the menu in the currency they understand.

The Key Benefits of Offering Multiple Currencies

1. Removes "Price Shock" and Encourages Ordering: When a customer sees a price like ₹1500, they might not have an intuitive sense of its value. But when they can tap a button and see that it's approximately $18 USD or €16 EUR, they can make a confident and informed decision. This clarity removes hesitation and makes them more likely to order, especially higher-priced items.

2. Enhances the Customer Experience: Providing prices in a customer's native currency is a small touch that shows you're thoughtful and cater to their needs. It makes them feel more welcome and comfortable in your establishment. In the hospitality business, these small details are what build a great reputation and encourage positive reviews.

3. A Competitive Advantage: In a crowded market, anything you can do to stand out is a plus. If you're one of the few restaurants in your area offering this feature, you immediately become a more attractive option for international visitors who are looking for a hassle-free dining experience.

4. Seamless and Automatic: The best part is that this feature requires zero work from you. ScanOrderGo handles all the backend complexity. We automatically fetch up-to-date exchange rates every day to ensure the estimates are as accurate as possible. You set your prices in your base currency (e.g., INR), and we handle the rest.

Important Note: The final charge is always processed in your restaurant's base currency. The feature is designed to be a helpful guide for your customers, and this is clearly communicated on the menu.

By breaking down the currency barrier, you're not just making your menu easier to read; you're creating a more inclusive and welcoming environment for a global audience, which can directly lead to happier customers and increased sales.
