Decide what menu sections you want to show or hide online, and in what order you want them to appear. Click Hide or position sections.

To hide or show a section simply press on hide or show. To move sections around, drag and drop the menu section to where you want it. Once done, press Save.

You can decide whether to display an item or a mod on your online menu within the item or mod records themselves.

On the Menu Builder page you can toggle on

Open it up and in the Basics area, toggle on or off the Show Online button. This toggle is also available on the item itself, by opening it from within the item editor.

Head to the Mod Editor or you can also do this in the mods section of your item.

Open up the mod and toggle on or off the Display on your Online Menu button.

Want to add some more wording for each menu section? Here's how...

Click on the section button in the preview to open up the section.

Click + Add Section Blurb in the header to add in some tantalising words. There is another spot at the footer to do the same...

If you need to update the name of an item or add a description, you can also do this from the preview page. Click the item, then press Edit Item to bring up the item's short form. You can make changes to the item from there.

Upload your logo on the menu preview. Ideally your logo is square in shape and under 1mb in size. Want to get funky? Try uploading a small square gif for a moving logo!

You're almost done. Now let's add a bit of colour and some welcoming words!

Press the Edit button at the top right of the preview to head to the branding setup page.

On the Branding Setup page we have a few sections on the left for you to fill in or select from. Let's take a look...

Enter in a welcome message to display at the top of your menu. It can be anything from your style of service, to your offerings, to service times.

There are 4 colours you need to select. Have a play and get your colours rocking!

Brand - your main brand colour.

Secondary - a matching colour that gets used as the menu background.

Tertiary - another match that gets used for item buttons.

Highlight - Used to highlight selections on the menu, or for error messages.

Select the colour by clicking on the colour field. The colour selector will appear. You can use the eyedropper, the colour scroller, or enter in your HEX number manually by clicking the field at the bottom of the selector until HEX shows - then enter in your unique number.

Need help finding ideal colours to go with your brand? There are a lot of free colour palette finders on the web, such as this one: Coolers.

The final settings are Brand Style - these make small changes on how the buttons and fonts appear on the site, and Currency - how you want prices to display.

Once you're ready, press the Update Branding or Done button to save your settings

Jazz up your menu and get feet through the door! Let's take a look at how images and promotions work in your online menu.

Here's a quick look at a demo menu with no images. Functional, but rather plain...

Let's start making it shine!

When we add our first image to an item, this will become the image used on the menu section - so If I add an image of a Lemon Meringue Pie it will appear on the item as well as in the Desserts section. Once we have added all our images in place, it will use the image from the first item in the section.

To upload an image on an item

Head to the Item editor, locate the item and open it. Scroll down until you see Image for Promotion and select the image from your computer. The image should be square in shape and less than 5mb in size.

A successful upload will display the image in the online menu preview

On your online menu the image appears on the item, and the menu section.

Once we have added all our images in, it starts to take shape - and the menu is now using the Chocolate Gateaux image for the Desserts section image.

Pressing on the item on the menu also displays the image.

You may have done this already when setting up your items, but if not, these details can really uplift and fill-out your online menu.

This is also done within the Item editor in the Basics tab. Enter in your description and view how it will look on the preview. You also decide if the item appears on the menu or not using the toggle below the description.

When you really want a menu item to stand out and grab attention - use a promotion! This is also done within the Item editor.

Open up the item and scroll to Promotions

Press Start Promoting

The image you have already loaded for the item will appear. You can also select up to 3 cravings that the item satisfies, and enter in a blurb for your promotion. Once done, press Activate.

Once your promotions are set up they will appear as Favourites on your menu and can be viewed, or ordered if you are set up to take orders and payment.

That's the basics - give it a go!
