Taam is a modern, all-in-one restaurant management & digital menu platform. It gives restaurant owners a beautiful dashboard to manage their menu, understand their customers, and grow their business — while giving diners a fast, contactless QR menu experience right from their table.
Built with Next.js 15, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and MySQL, Taam combines a polished owner dashboard with real-time analytics, smart "menu engineering" insights, and contactless ordering tools.
Taam (טעם) means "taste" in Hebrew — and the app ships with full multilingual (i18n) support, including Hebrew and English.
