Wix Restaurants: Setting Up Wix Restaurants Menus (New)

10 min read

Create your menu with a clear name and description, then add sections to organize your items. For a faster setup, use AI to convert menu photos into a neat, online version automatically, saving you time and effort.

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.

Using menus for online ordering?

To set up online ordering using the new menus app, you'll need the new online orders 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.

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:
