How do I build the menu?

In the dashboard a menu is organised the way a printed menu is: menus such as Food and Drinks, categories inside them such as Starters or Cocktails, and dishes inside the categories. Each dish has a name, a description, a price, one or more photos, its ingredients, its allergens and its tags. You reorder categories by dragging them, and you can move a category to another menu.

There are three ways to start: from a template, from blank, or with AI menu import, which reads photos or a PDF of the menu you already have.

How does AI menu import work?

You upload photos (JPG, PNG, WEBP or HEIC) or a PDF of up to 40 pages; a menu in Word, Excel or PowerPoint is saved as a PDF first. doXmenu reads the menus, sections, dishes, prices with their currency, descriptions, ingredients, allergens and seven diet tags, and translates the menu into your other languages as it builds it, up to six. When something is unclear, it asks you: the menu's languages name a different meat or allergen, an allergen symbol is crossed out or unreadable, a dish has two prices, or a currency looks wrong. A question about a meat or an allergen must be answered before the menu can be published.

The import takes a few minutes and you get an email when it is ready. The menu arrives as a draft that you check and publish. It does not add dish photos or choose a design for you. Each account can create 2 AI menus a day and 10 a month. Read the AI menu import guide.

Which languages does doXmenu support?

24 menu languages: English, Macedonian, Albanian, Turkish, Croatian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Greek, French, Italian, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish, German, Austrian German, Dutch, Montenegrin, Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Polish, Hungarian, Bosnian and Czech. You write the menu once and doXmenu translates it; you can correct any translation by hand, and a line you wrote yourself is never overwritten. Guests pick their language with one tap, and the words change in place without a reload. Arabic menus are laid out right to left.

How are allergens shown?

Every dish can carry the 14 allergens that EU Regulation 1169/2011 requires restaurants to declare, shown as icons with their names in the guest's language. Tapping an allergen opens a page with every dish on the menu that contains it. Tags such as Vegetarian, Vegan, Dairy free, Halal, Kosher and Honey work the same way. Read more in the allergen guide.

How much can I change the design?

  • Logo and background: your logo on the home screen and your own background image, framed to the exact size of a phone screen.
  • 16 font styles: each style pairs a headline typeface with a text typeface. They are named for the kind of place they suit: Grand Hotel, Maison, Chef's Table, Speakeasy, Brasserie, Trattoria, Grill House, Corner Café, Chalkboard, Croissant, Farmers Market, Smash, Street Kitchen, Beach Club, Rooftop and Nordic.
  • 70 colour palettes: ready-made sets for bars, fine dining, cafés, grills, street food, Asian, Italian, Mediterranean, fresh and hotel venues. Each sets every colour of the menu at once and was checked so that text stays readable. You can also pick every colour yourself.
  • A live preview: the branding screen shows your colours on the real menu and dish page before you save.

What do guests see?

Guests scan the QR code with their phone camera and the menu opens in the browser. There is nothing to install and no account to create. They browse menus and categories, open any dish full screen, swipe through its photos, search as they type, filter by tag or allergen, switch language and, where the venue has switched table service on, call the waiter or ask for the bill. On a computer the same menu shows as a grid of up to four columns.

How do I promote dishes and offers?

A pop-up ad is the first thing guests see when they open the menu: a dish of the day, a happy hour, an event. You set how long it stays (1 to 10 seconds), and you can give it a first and last day so it only runs in between, and lock it for its timer so guests see the whole offer. See three real results from doXmenu clients.

What else is on the menu?

  • Waiter call and bill request: once you switch table service on, guests tap to call the waiter or ask for the bill, and your staff see it.
  • Available / Hidden: hide a sold-out dish or a seasonal category in one tap and bring it back later, without deleting anything.
  • Who pays? games: six short table games (Spin the Fork, Lowest Dice, Finger Roulette, Wheel of Misfortune, Card Cut and Air Hockey), off until you switch them on.
  • Link previews: your menu link shows your venue's name when it is shared in WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook or Telegram.

Can guests order from the table?

Yes, once you switch table service on. Every table gets its own QR code, and guests add dishes, write a note for the kitchen and send the order from their phone. Your staff see it on the orders board in the dashboard, and the guest follows it live, from sent to preparing, on the way and done, with the time left once the kitchen accepts it. The order sheet shows the whole table's total.

What analytics do I get?

The analytics screen shows how many times your menu was opened each day, your peak day, the trend with a 7-day average, and a heatmap of the busiest hours for each day of the week. You can export the data as CSV or as an image.

Can my team use the dashboard?

Yes. You invite team members by email and give each one a role, and one account can manage several venues. The dashboard is available in 23 languages and can follow your phone's light or dark mode.
