Wix Restaurants: Understanding Prices on your Menu
3 min read
Control the way prices look on your menu. The appearance of your prices depends on the regional format you choose, as well as the app you're using (i.e. Menus, Restaurant Orders).
Understanding how prices are displayed
You can customize both on your menu to align with your restaurant business needs. Once you added a menu item and entered a price for it, the numerical value appears on the menu as you typed it. The way the price looks depends on the format you choose and the specific app you're using (Menus or the Restaurant Orders app). If you offer some items for free, you can decide how they look. You can also hide the prices and currency from your menu.
The price format details aspects like the number of digits for the price's fractional part and the currency character used to separate it. For instance, the pattern for US dollars shows that the '$' symbol comes before the price number. You can customize how your price looks on the menu by changing your site's regional settings.
Note:
This is the case in the new Menus app, and not in the new Restaurant Orders app. The Menus page shows the prices as typed in the dashboard, while Restaurant Orders pads prices with 2 decimal points.
