01. What Is View on Your Table?
Note 01
What Is View on Your Table?
View on Your Table transforms a restaurant's digital menu into an immersive dining experience.
Guests can view realistic, true to scale 3D versions of signature dishes directly on their table through their phone. They can explore the dish from different angles, understand its actual plating, proportions and portion size, and make a more informed decision before ordering.
Instead of simply showing guests what a dish looks like, the menu lets them “experience it before they order it.”
02. Why This Matters for Restaurants
Note 02
Why This Matters for Restaurants
In premium dining, presentation and expectation are closely connected.
A photograph can show a dish. A description can explain it. But neither gives the customer a clear understanding of how the dish will actually look and feel when served.
View on Your Table closes that gap.
Greater Confidence in Premium Dishes
Guests can better understand what they are paying for, particularly when choosing signature or higher value dishes.
A Stronger Dining Experience
The menu becomes an interactive part of the restaurant experience rather than just a tool for placing an order.
A Built In Marketing Hook
An unexpected AR dining experience gives restaurants something guests can interact with, talk about and share.
Potential for Higher Sales
When guests can visualise dishes interactively, restaurants can drive attention toward signature dishes.
Premium technology without heavy infrastructure. The experience works through the guest's own smartphone and a digital menu, avoiding expensive screen installations or dedicated hardware at every table.

How the Guest Experience Works
01
Explore the Digital Menu
Guests browse the restaurant's digital menu and discover dishes with an interactive 3D view.
02
View the Dish in Their Space
With a simple tap, the dish opens in AR through the phone's camera. No app download is required.
03
See It at True Scale
The dish appears on the table in realistic proportions, allowing guests to understand its actual portion size, plating and presentation.
04
Explore Before Ordering
Guests can move around the dish, view it from different angles and get a much clearer sense of what will arrive at their table.
05
Discover More Dishes
Other featured dishes can be explored within the same experience, turning the menu into an opportunity for discovery and upselling.
04. Live Demo

06. More Than a Menu
Note 06
More Than a Menu
View on Your Table can become an experiential layer of the restaurant brand.
A well designed AR experience gives guests something new to discover during their visit and creates a natural opportunity for restaurants to encourage social sharing, generate conversations and build a stronger digital presence.
For restaurants that market the experience effectively, it can become more than a feature. It can become “a reason to visit, engage and share.”
How It Comes Together
We work with the restaurant to select the dishes that will have the greatest impact and create accurate 3D representations of them.
The dishes are captured and transformed into optimised 3D assets designed specifically for mobile AR. These are then connected to the restaurant's digital menu and presented through a simple, branded web experience.
The result is a lightweight, scalable system where the restaurant can introduce more dishes over time without adding physical hardware to the dining environment.
07. The Opportunity
Note 07
Seamless for Guests. Simple for Restaurants.
- No app download
- Works directly through a smartphone
- No dedicated hardware at every table
- Integrated into the digital menu experience
- Easy for guests to understand and use
- Scalable across signature dishes and menu categories
- Customised to match the restaurant's visual identity
The Opportunity
Restaurants are increasingly investing in technology to make dining more interactive. View on Your Table takes a different approach.
Rather than adding another screen or piece of hardware to the table, it uses something guests already carry: their smartphone.
This makes immersive dining more accessible, cost effective and scalable, while keeping the focus where it belongs: “the food and the experience.”
