The Wix Restaurant Orders and Menus apps are transitioning to new versions with enhanced features designed to streamline your business. You’ll still have access to both versions until the end of the transition period, after which the original apps will no longer be available.
We've transferred over your core settings and menus to the new apps. Certain features—like automations, sound notifications, and thermal printer settings—will need to be reviewed and set up again. The new apps work differently so some of your settings may have slightly changed or may be organized in a different way now.
