Set up your menu

Your menu is the heart of DishRoute. Guests order from it, waiters take orders from it and the kitchen receives tickets from it, so a few minutes here saves time at every table.

Build the menu

1. Add a category. Open Menu and choose Add category. Use the names guests expect, such as Starters, BBQ or Drinks. You can set Serving hours so a category, such as breakfast, is only orderable at certain times.
2. Add items. Inside a category choose Add item. Enter the name, a one or two line description, the price and a photo. Tags such as Spicy, Vegetarian or Halal help guests choose.
3. Add sizes where needed. On the Sizes and extras tab, add sizes such as Half and Full, each with its own price. Guests choose exactly one size.
4. Add modifier groups for extras. Create groups such as Extra toppings or Choose your bread under Modifiers, decide how many options a guest can pick, and give each option a price change. Attach a group to every item that offers it.
5. Check the order guests see. Move categories up or down and mark a few items Featured so they appear first on the guest menu.
6. Preview it as a guest. Scan one of your table QR codes with your phone and browse the menu the way a guest will.

Import instead of typing

If your menu already lives in a spreadsheet, import it in one go: upload the file, review the rows DishRoute found, fix anything marked in red and confirm. Nothing is saved until you confirm. Where your plan includes it, you can also import from a photo of a printed menu; the result goes into the same review step so you check every price before it goes live.

Sold out today

When the kitchen runs out of something, open Availability and tap the item to mark it Sold out. Guests see it as sold out (or not at all, depending on your guest menu setting) and cannot order it. Tap it again when it is back. With several branches you can mark an item sold out at one branch only.

Give items a kitchen station, such as grill or bar, so their lines go to the right kitchen screen. Leave it empty to use the category station.

Prices per branch

On the Branches tab of an item you can set a different price or availability for one branch. Empty fields follow the item, so you only enter what differs. To raise many prices at once, use Change prices with a percent or an amount and preview the result before you apply it.
