This page is about interactive menus. Open Digital menus, then click Edit menu on the menu you want to work on.
The interactive menu editor with categories and dishes

The editor: menu heading at the top, then your categories and dishes.

​
The menu heading

Click Save under those two fields to store them.

​
Categories

Categories are your menu sections: Starters, Mains, Desserts, Wines…
  • Add a category at the bottom of the editor.
  • Reorder by dragging the handle on the left of a category. The order is saved instantly and is the order guests see.
  • Rename or describe with the pencil. A category description shows as a short line under the section heading.
  • Delete with the bin — this also deletes the dishes inside it.
Click a category header to fold or unfold its dishes.

​
Dishes

Use Add an item inside a category, or the pencil on an existing dish.
The dish form with name, description and price

The top of the dish form: name, description and price.

The lower part of the dish form: allergens, dietary tags, badge, visibility and availability

Allergens, dietary tags, badge and the two availability switches.

Dishes reorder by drag & drop inside their category, exactly like categories.

​
Out of stock vs. hidden

Two different switches, for two different situations:

Available — off

You ran out tonight. The dish stays on the menu, greyed out and marked Unavailable today. Guests see the dish exists — just not right now. One tap on the ⊘ button in the dish row does the same thing without opening the form.

Visible on the menu — off

Off season, or not served any more. The dish disappears from the menu entirely, but stays in your editor so you can bring it back next season.

​
Translations

A menu imported from a PDF arrives already translated. The extraction translates your menu into the portal’s six languages — English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian — before it even shows it to you. There is nothing to run. For dishes you add or edit afterwards, every text field has a language selector and a ✨ button.
The ✨ translates FROM the language on screen. Write your dish in French, leave the selector on 🇫🇷, click: your French wording stays untouched word for word, the five other languages are generated. It is also how you refresh translations that have gone stale — fix the French name, click again, the others follow.
For the whole menu at once, Translate all in the toolbar is still there: use it if the extraction couldn’t translate, or after adding a lot of dishes by hand.
Translate all only fills the languages that are still empty. It never overwrites a wording you typed or corrected yourself — unlike the ✨, which regenerates the other languages on purpose. Re-running it later only fills what’s new.
A dish no translation covers is never shown blank to your guests: the public page falls back to the language it is written in.

​
Re-import a PDF

Your printed menu changed? Click Import a PDF in the toolbar at any time. You choose what happens to the current content:
  • Replace current content — on: the existing categories and dishes are deleted, then the extracted ones are created. Use this for a new season’s menu.
  • Replace current content — off: the extracted content is added after what’s already there. Use this to add a wine list to an existing food menu.
The result is a draft to review, and your published menu keeps showing the old content until the extraction finishes.
With Replace on, the deletion happens before the AI reads your PDF. If that import then fails, your menu is left empty — the old dishes are gone. Click Retry on the error banner to fill it back in. If the menu you’re replacing is one you spent time correcting, run the import with Replace off first, check the result, then delete the old categories by hand.

​
Publish

The Published switch at the top right is what makes the menu visible to your guests. It is the same thing as the Visible switch on the menus list. While a menu is unpublished, an orange banner reminds you, and the page simply does not exist for the outside world.
View page opens the real guest page. On an unpublished menu it shows a not found error — that’s expected, not a bug. Publish first, then preview.
Before you flip the switch, a quick checklist:
  • Every dish re-read, especially allergens
  • Prices match your printed menu
  • Categories in the order you want
  • Translate all run at least once
  • A Public title set (or the internal name is fine as a title)
Then head to QR codes & sharing to print it for your tables.
