Restaurant Technology Network (RTN) introduced its new Menu Synchronization Standard on March 9. RTN’s Menu Sync Standard comes hot on the heels of RTN’s Open API Framework and its groundbreaking 8 key principles “that are the foundation on which we are building all these standards,” said Angela Diffly, co-founder of RTN on the March 9 webinar. “The menu synchronization standard is one of many standards that RTN is putting out.” The Menu Sync Workgroup was formed in October 2020 and held 50+ meetings totaling 1,200+ volunteer hours. As many as 90 technology experts from restaurants and technology companies collaborated to create the standard. “Our goal is that the industry starts to adopt, standard by standard by standard, so that we all can start focusing on innovative new technology development that each company is so good at independently,” said Diffly.
