Clear section headings, prices that line up and enough space between dishes help guests decide quickly. Auto layout balances the columns, keeps each heading with its first dish and adds pages only when needed.

Prices that line up

Prices align at the right with dotted leaders, or sit after the name, under the dish or in a price tag. Wine, beer and ice cream lists can show two prices per item, such as glass and bottle, with column labels.

Allergens and dietary tags

Mark dishes as vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, spicy or chef's choice, and number the 14 allergens that EU law requires. A legend with the tags and allergens you used is added to the menu automatically.

Print-ready and digital

Export a PDF at 300 DPI with 3 mm bleed and crop marks for your printer, images for Instagram and Facebook, or an HTML snippet for your website. On a TV or menu screen, play the pages as a slideshow.

Daily specials and seasonal menus

Your menu is kept in this browser, and a project file lets you open it again later. Duplicate a category for specials, change prices in seconds, highlight a dish or add a Chef's special badge.

Frequently asked questions

Is the menu maker free?

Yes. You can design menus and export them for free. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded, and your menu stays saved in this browser.

Can I make a drinks, wine or cocktail menu?

Yes. Pick drinks, beer, wine, cocktails, mocktails, ice cream, desserts or bakery on the start screen, or combine several types in one menu. Wine and beer lists can show two prices per drink.

What size should I export for print?

Choose A4, A5, Letter, Legal, DL or square and export a PDF at 300 DPI. Turn on the 3 mm bleed and crop marks when your printer asks for them. Digital screen sizes are also available.

Can I add a QR code and my logo?

Yes. Upload your logo for the header or a cover page, and let the app pick menu colors from it. Add a QR code that links to your online menu or website, and move and resize it like any other element.

Can I make the whole menu fit on one page?

Yes. Auto layout flows your categories over columns and pages. Choose On 1 page under Auto layout and the text is scaled so the whole menu fits on a single page, or on the number of pages you pick.
