Yelp Introduces Visual Menus
Yelp has unveiled a new feature that allows users to peruse restaurant menus embellished with photos taken by users. The visual menus are available on Yelp’s website, mobile site and mobile applications, the first such cross-platform product, according to the company. “We’ve combed the site to compile visual menus incorporating Yelp reviews and user-uploaded food pictures,” according to an early version of Yelp’s blog post. “Now you can not only read about that decadent chocolate raspberry truffle cheesecake swimming in a pool of hot fudge, you can see real users’ photos of said gut-busting dessert from every angle right alongside the menu item.” Yelp users can access these menu pages from the “Explore the Menu” link on a page.
