Wix Restaurants: Setting the Availability of Menus, Sections and Dishes

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.

You can set the availability of menus, sections and dishes for online ordering. If a menu, section, or dish is available for online ordering only during certain hours or on certain days, you can change its availability so it only appears when customers can order it.

Menus and sections that aren't available do not appear at all in the online ordering menu on your live site. You can also mark dishes as out of stock and they'll appear as "Sold Out" when customers order from you online.

Tip:

You can also hide menus, sections, or dishes.
