Common Questions

How do I edit an item after creating it? Click on any item row in the Items table to open the edit panel.

Can I import more items later? Yes, the import feature adds to your existing menu. It won’t delete or overwrite existing items.

What if I make a mistake? All changes can be undone. Items can be deleted, edited, or unpublished at any time.

How do diners filter by allergen? When viewing your menu, diners see a filter button. They select allergens they need to avoid, and items containing those allergens are flagged or hidden.
