The Anatomy of a Tap.
Scroll to see how one card puts your whole menu on every guest's phone.
01 / Material
Clear acrylic.
A 3 mm sheet of clear acrylic, cut to 100 × 150 mm with soft rounded corners. Glossy, like glass.
02 / Inside
The chip inside.
An NTAG213 chip sits behind the tap icon. No battery, nothing to charge, and it works with any modern phone.
03 / Print
Your design.
Printed on the back over a white layer, so the front stays glossy and the ink never wears off.
04 / Stand
A gold stand.
Every card slots into a mirror-gold acrylic stand that holds it upright and steady.
05 / Placed
On your table.
On every table, counter and truck window. One card per spot, all linked to the same live menu.
06 / Tap
One tap.
Guests hold the top of their phone near the card. No app, no camera, no QR code.
07 / Open
Your menu, at a touch.
Your full menu opens on their phone, with photos and today's prices. Setup from $400.
Always current
Your menu, never stale.
Prices go up.
Specials rotate.
Items sell out.
Text or email us the change; depending on your plan it is live within 1 to 5 business days. It goes live on every card at once, and nothing gets reprinted.

also Live on a food truck
Sergio Cafe food truck
A breakfast food truck parked at 2 Hanson Place in Brooklyn, serving from 1:30 AM. Customers tap the truck's window and see if the truck is open right now, when the grill is on, and the add-ons for every sandwich.
Open Sergio's menuWhat owners say
In their own words.
Excellent work. I would highly recommend AppstoneLiquid to other restaurants.
Better prices than other places, and the work is better done.
How it works
Live in about a week.
One visit to start, then we do the building. Changes after launch go live within 1 to 5 business days, depending on your plan.
iOne visit
First, we meet, quote your menu and you sign the service agreement.
iiAbout 7 days
Then we build your menu and program your cards, once we have items, prices and photos.
iiiEvery service
After that, guests tap the card and read your live menu at the table.
iv1 to 5 business days
Later, send changes ahead and they go live before service.
The difference
Why owners switch.
Menus change. Prices go up, specials rotate and items sell out. A tap card keeps up without reprinting a thing.
Update prices without reprinting
Food costs change and your menu keeps up. Send changes and they go live within 1 to 5 business days, depending on your plan.
Stop paying the print shop
Every price change on paper means new menus. A tap menu is updated once and every table has it.
Photos sell dishes
Guests see what they are ordering, and you choose which dishes lead.
Faster than a QR code
No opening the camera or lining up a square. One tap and the menu is open.
More reviews and followers
Google review, Instagram and TikTok buttons sit right in the menu.
Cleaner tables
Guests use their own phone. Keep a few paper menus for anyone who prefers them.

Questions
Questions owners ask.
Anything else, email us at appstoneliquid@gmail.com. We reply within one business day.
Do my customers need an app?
No. iPhone XS and newer and most Android phones read the card on their own. Guests hold the top of the phone near the card and a banner opens the menu.
What if a phone doesn't have NFC?
Your menu is a normal web link, so it also opens from a QR code. We can print one on the back of each card as a backup.
How fast can you launch?
Your menu goes live within 7 days after we receive your items, prices and photos. Standard cards are programmed and delivered with it.
How do I change prices or add specials?
Text or email us the change. Essential plans go live within 5 business days, Signature within 3 and Concierge within 1. Each plan includes free updates every month (1, 3 or unlimited); extra updates are $25.
How long do cards take?
Standard cards are in stock and arrive with your menu. Custom pieces are made to order and take up to 4 weeks, and your menu works on standard cards while they are made.
What are custom pieces made of?
3 mm clear acrylic, 100 × 150 mm (about 4 × 6 inches), with 3 mm rounded corners, printed on the back so the design cannot scratch off, with a glossy front. Wood, marble, leather, velvet and metal designs are printed looks. For tables, the card slots into a mirror-gold acrylic stand, or 3M adhesive with an anti-metal layer for walls, windows and food trucks.
Is there a contract?
Yes. A service agreement is signed before any work begins and before any payment is made. We go over it with you in person or send it to sign online.
What if a card is lost or damaged?
Replacement standard cards are $25 each. A defective card reported within 14 days is replaced free.
Who owns the menu?
You do. Your name, logo, menu and the photos you supply stay yours, and we host the menu while your account is active.
