Your menu is built from categories (Starters, Mains, Drinks…), items inside them, and modifier groups on items for anything with choices. Once the menu is published, every edit you make is live to diners immediately — there is no separate re-publish step.
Items
Each item has a name, price and description, and can carry:
- A photo — items with photos sell noticeably better; upload one per item.
- Nutrition info (optional): calories, a sugar grade for drinks (A–D), and sodium level. These show as small chips on the diner menu.
Modifier groups
Modifier groups handle choices: "Size", "Add-ons", "Spice level" and so on. For each group you control:
- Required or optional — a required group must be answered before the diner can add the item.
- Minimum and maximum choices — for example "pick exactly 1 size" or "up to 3 sides".
- Price add-ons per option — the diner sees the price update live as they choose.
Individual modifier options can be switched off without deleting them (for example when an add-on runs out).
Publishing — and editing after
A new menu starts as a draft; diners see it once you publish. After that, be aware:
Edits to a published menu are live the moment you save them. A price change at 7:30pm is what the diner at table 5 sees at 7:31pm.
That's usually what you want — but do bigger restructures outside service hours. During service, prefer the one-tap sold-out switch over deleting or editing items: see How do I mark a dish sold out?
