Building your menu

Everything lives under Menu in the dashboard.

Categories

Group your items the way a paper menu would — Appetizers, Mains, Drinks. Drag categories to reorder them; the storefront follows the same order. Customers get a category navigation bar that scrolls to each section.

Items

Each item has:

• Name and description — short and appetizing beats long and exhaustive.
• Price — in dollars. Modifier choices can adjust it (see below).
• Photo — optional but strongly recommended; items with photos sell more. JPG, PNG, or WebP, up to 5MB. We resize and optimize automatically.
• Allergen tags — free text like “peanuts, dairy.” Shown on the item so customers can check before ordering.
• In stock toggle — flip it off when you 86 something; the item disappears from the storefront immediately and comes back just as fast.

Modifiers

Modifier groups let customers customize an item:

• Single-select — pick exactly one, like a size (Small / Medium / Large). Mark it required to force a choice.
• Multi-select — pick any number, like toppings or add-ons.

Each option can carry a price adjustment (+$2 for extra cheese, +$0 for no onions). The item card shows the base price; the customer sees the running total as they pick options.

Deleting things safely

Deleting an item or option doesn't erase history — past orders and receipts still show exactly what the customer bought at the price they paid. The item simply stops appearing on the menu and in new orders.

Practical limits

Menus up to about 100 active items render fast and stay manageable. If you're bumping into that, consider trimming or rotating seasonal items.
