Menu Setup
Create menus, organize categories, add products with photos, and set your default menu.
Create a Menu
Navigate to "Menus" in the sidebar. Click "New Menu" and give it a name like "Main Menu" or "Lunch Menu". You can create multiple menus for different occasions — for example, a lunch menu, dinner menu, or bar menu. Each menu can have its own set of products.
Most venues start with a single "Main Menu". You can always add more menus later as your offerings grow.
Create Categories
Go to "Categories" in the sidebar. Categories help organize your products — for example: Starters, Main Courses, Desserts, Drinks. Click "Add Category", enter a name and optional description. You can reorder categories by editing their sort order — this determines how they appear on your public menu.
Keep category names short and clear. Customers scan menus quickly, so "Starters" works better than "Our Selection of Appetizers and Small Plates".
Add Products with Photos
Navigate to "Products" and click "New Product". Fill in the product name, description, and price. Upload a photo — high-quality food photos significantly increase orders. Assign the product to a category and at least one menu. You can also add weight/volume information (e.g., "350g" or "500ml").
Products with photos get up to 30% more orders. Use well-lit, appetizing photos shot from above or at a 45-degree angle.
Organize Your Menu
After adding products, visit your public menu page to see how everything looks. You can adjust the order of categories and products by editing their sort order in the admin panel. Make sure your most popular items are easy to find — consider placing them at the top of each category.
Set a Default Menu
Go to "Settings" and scroll to the "Menu Defaults" section. Select your main menu as the default — this is the menu customers see when they first visit your venue page. If you have multiple menus, customers can switch between them, but the default menu loads first.
If you only have one menu, it's automatically used as the default.
