Wix Restaurants: Setting Up Your Menu


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.


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", and highlight specific items with a ribbon on your menu and online ordering pages.

Using menus for online ordering?


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



Step 1 | Set up your menu


The 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.


To set up your menu:


Dashboard


  1. Go to Restaurant Menus in your site's dashboard.

  2. Choose how you want to get started:


  1. Click +Add Menu at the top right.

  2. Select Create manually.

  3. Enter the menu details:

    • Menu name and description.

    • The relevant location, if your restaurant has multiple locations.

    • The relevant ordering page, if you're using the Wix Restaurants Orders app.

  4. (Optional) Select the checkbox next to Mark as a draft so that the menu does not appear on your live site before it's ready.

  5. Click Save.
