Set up your Wix Restaurants menu to create a seamless online ordering experience for your customers. Begin by naming your menu and adding a clear description to give customers an idea of what to expect. To save time, use AI to quickly transform menu photos into a polished online version.

Once your menu is set up, you can customize individual items. For example, you can offer salads with or without chicken, in different sizes, and at various prices. You can also add labels like "Spicy" or "Gluten-Free" to help your customers.

You can schedule the availability of specific menu sections or individual menu items on certain days or at specific times. All menu sections and items appear by default in your online ordering menu.

Using menus for online ordering?

To set up online ordering with the new menus app, you'll need the Wix Restaurants Orders (New) app.

The new Wix Restaurants Menus app comes with a default menu, complete with sections and menu items. Customize this menu to make it your own or add a new one.

You can upload photos of your menu(s), and AI will automatically extract and organize the text into a user-friendly online format. This simplifies setup, saving you time and eliminating manual data entry.

Tip:

You can create as many menus as you need. If you were using the old Menus app, save time by importing your menu to the new Menus app.

To set up your menu:

Dashboard

Wix app

Go to Menus (New) in your site's dashboard.
Select the relevant option:

Create new menu

Edit an existing menu

Upload menu with AI

3. Select or deselect the Mark as a draft checkbox.
Tip: When a menu is marked as a draft, it won't show in your editor or your live site.

4. Click Save.

Next, organize your menu into sections, such as Appetizers, Main Course, Desserts, and Beverages, to make it easier for customers to navigate. You can schedule the availability of specific menu sections to appear in your online ordering menu.

Tip:

Before adding menu items, it's a good idea to decide which sections you need and add them to your menu.

To set up your menu sections:

Dashboard

Wix app

Go to Menus (New) in your site's dashboard.
Click Manage next to the relevant menu.
Select an option:

Add a new section

Edit an existing section

Now it’s time to add the dishes that make your menu unique. If you used AI to import your menu, review each item and make sure everything looks just right. You can also set when menu items are available, such as specific days or times, so customers see the right options in your online ordering menu.

Add multiple images for each dish, update item descriptions, and use labels like Vegan, Gluten-Free, or Extra Hot to help customers find what they’re looking for.

Note:

You must enter a name and price for each menu item. If you prefer, you can hide prices from your live site.
