Menu setup: categories, products and variants

The knowledge base is growing — structure and content will keep evolving.

The menu is built from categories that contain products. Every product belongs to exactly one category, so start by creating categories such as “Pizza”, “Burgers” or “Drinks”.

  1. Create categories. Give each category the name your guests should see, and drag categories into the order you want — the storefront shows them in exactly that order. Seasonal categories can be hidden instead of deleted.
  2. Add products. Inside a category, add each dish with a name, description and base price. Upload a photo and mark allergens and tags (vegetarian, spicy, house special) — it builds trust and saves phone calls.
  3. Add variants for sizes. A variant is the same dish at a different price — typically sizes like “Small · 26 cm” and “Large · 40 cm”. Mark one variant as the default; it is preselected when a guest opens the dish.
  4. Reuse option groups. Option groups (“Sauces”, “Extra toppings”) are created once and assigned to many products. Each option can carry an extra charge, and you decide whether the group is required, single- or multiple-choice.
Keep the list to 5–8 categories — a shorter menu is easier to scan and sells better.
