Your menu

Add & edit menu items

Build the menu your diners will browse on their phone.

Your menu lives in the dashboard under Menu, organized into sections (Starters, Mains, Drinks…) with items inside. What you enter here is exactly what a diner sees when they scan your QR code.

How it works

  1. Open Menu in your dashboard sidebar.
  2. Add a section first (say, "Starters"), then Add item inside it.
  3. Give the item a name and price. Tip: after typing the name, tap Auto-fill to let AI draft the description, tags, and ingredients for you — see Auto-fill your menu with AI.
  4. Fill in the rest of the fields (below), then save. Changes go live for diners immediately.

What each field does

Item details work in two layers:

  • On the menu card — what diners see while browsing: name, price, description, photo, dietary tags, and spice level.
  • In the item's detail — the ingredient list, allergens, and preparation notes. A diner sees these when they tap an item open, which is exactly when someone is asking themselves "does this contain nuts?" — so accuracy here really matters.

Dietary tags

Every item carries at most one of the main dietary classes — non-veg, vegetarian, vegan, or eggetarian — plus any extra tags like gluten-free. Picking a new class replaces the old one, so an item can never be tagged both vegetarian and non-veg. Diners filter by these, and the AI uses them to answer "what can a vegan eat here?"

Ordering your menu

Drag sections and items by their handles to arrange the menu the way you want diners to read it — the diner's menu follows your order exactly. New items land at the end of their section.

Editing and removing items

Tap any item to edit it. Price changes show up on the diner's menu straight away, and in the prices the AI quotes. Deleting an item removes it from both.

Good to know

  • Items you add by hand go live as-is — you wrote them, so there's nothing to review. Items created by a menu scan are marked for a quick review first; see Review scanned items.
  • Ingredients power allergy answers. If an item's ingredient list is empty, the AI will say it doesn't know rather than guess — safe, but not helpful. A minute per item pays off.
  • The menu editor is always free, whatever your plan.
