The Menu Setup section allows you to create and manage the items your restaurant offers for ordering. This includes organizing your food and drinks into categories, adding individual menu items, and customizing each product with extras and variants.

Step 1: Create Categories

Start by creating broad categories to group your menu items. These help customers navigate your menu more easily.

Examples of categories:

Starters

Mains

Desserts

Drinks

Sides

Meal Deals

To create a category:

Go to your Merchant Dashboard

Open the Menu Setup section

Click “Add Category”

Enter a category name and save

Step 2: Add Menu Items

After creating categories, you can start adding your individual menu items under each category.

To add an item:

Click “Add Item” within the relevant category

Fill in the following fields:

Name – The name of the dish or product

Example: Margherita Pizza

Description – A short description of the item

Example: Classic pizza with mozzarella, tomato, and fresh basil

Price – Base price for the item

Optional: Upload an Image

Recommended format: JPEG or PNG

Click Save once the item is complete.

Step 3: Add Extras (Optional)

You can add extras to any item—these are optional add-ons that the customer can select. Extras can be free or have an additional cost.

Examples of extras:

Add Extra Cheese (+£1.00)

Add Garlic Sauce (+£0.50)

Add Cutlery (Free)

Add Side Salad (+£2.00)

To add extras:

Open the item you want to edit

Scroll to the Extras section

Click “Add Extra”

Enter the name, description (optional), and price (if any)

Save the changes

You can add multiple extras to one item.

Step 4: Add Variants (Optional)

Variants let customers choose between different versions of the same item—great for things like size, portion, or recipe variations.

Examples of variants:

Size: Small (£6.00), Medium (£8.00), Large (£10.00)

Drink Option: Classic Mojito, Strawberry Mojito

Protein Option: Chicken, Beef, Vegan

To add variants:

Open the item you want to edit

Scroll to the Variants section

Click “Add Variant”

Create an option group (e.g., Size or Protein Type)

Add the different choices, each with their own name and price

Save the changes

Best Practices

Use clear names and descriptions so customers know exactly what they're ordering

Include images where possible—items with images typically perform better

Use extras and variants to reduce confusion and improve upselling opportunities

Group items logically under categories to make your menu easier to browse
