Wix Restaurants: Adding Images to Your Menus

Important:

This article is about the original Wix Restaurants Menus App. Try out our new, improved menu app. Learn how to add and set up Wix Restaurants Menus (New) app.

Adding images to your Wix Restaurant menus is a simple yet powerful way to showcase your culinary creations. Not only does this make your menu more appealing, but it also gives potential customers a visual taste of what they can expect, potentially driving more orders.

For instance, imagine you're running a bakery. By adding mouth-watering images of your freshly baked breads and pastries under each menu section, such as 'Breads', 'Cakes', 'Pastries', or 'Specials', you're giving customers a reason to explore further and place an order.

What if you don't have an image for a specific dish? No worries. You can add placeholder images for those dishes, ensuring your menu always looks complete and professional.

In this article, learn more about:

• Adding images to menu sections

• Adding images to individual dishes

• Adding placeholder images

• Guidelines for images in Wix Restaurants

Important:

• Make sure section images are visible on the online ordering page: Click the Wix Restaurants Orders app in the Editor and select Settings. Then, in the Layout tab, select Show section images.

• To display images in your menu, choose a layout with section images, dish images, or both.
