Tips

• Use high-quality photos — square or landscape images display best. A clear, well-lit photo of the dish significantly increases customer interest.
• Keep descriptions concise — under 100 characters ensures clean presentation on mobile screens.
• Mark as unavailable instead of deleting — if a dish is seasonal or temporarily unavailable, uncheck "Available" rather than deleting it. You can re-enable it anytime.
• Include the price — menus without prices frustrate customers. Even a rough price builds trust.
