IQ Rest has completely rebuilt the restaurant dashboard from the ground up. The new dashboard uses server-side rendering with Next.js file-based routing, delivering instant page loads and a smoother experience for managing your digital QR menu. Every page now loads with professional skeleton animations, and your menu data is prefetched on the server — so you see your categories, items, and settings immediately.
Server-Side Rendering for Instant QR Menu Management
The previous dashboard loaded everything on the client side, causing delays. The new architecture prefetches your restaurant data on the server before the page even reaches your browser. Categories, menu items, tables, reservations, and analytics all load instantly. Each page has a dedicated loading skeleton so you never see a blank screen. This means managing your digital QR menu feels fast and responsive, even on slower connections.
Modern Navigation and Unified Design
The dashboard now features unified page headers with consistent styling across all sections. Sort modes for categories, items, and tables have been redesigned with an intuitive interface. The sidebar navigation is cleaner, with Languages merged into Settings and Design renamed to Appearance. A new checklist banner on the home page shows your setup progress, helping new restaurants complete their digital QR menu configuration quickly.
Mobile-First QR Menu Management
Every aspect of the new dashboard is optimized for mobile management. Sticky action buttons stay accessible as you scroll. Headers cast subtle shadows when scrolled to help with orientation. Browser back button navigation works reliably across all pages. Whether you're adding dishes between service or checking analytics on the go, managing your restaurant's digital QR menu from your phone is seamless.
