Choosing One of the 8 Designs
Pick the design that matches your restaurant's personality. Any design works with any of the 9 website templates — they're chosen independently. Each card in the dashboard shows a small preview.
- Elegant — the fine-dining look. Classic serif typography on cream paper, dotted lines leading to prices, no photos. For upscale dining, wine bars, and chef-driven menus.
- Gallery — photo cards in a grid. Dishes with photos become cards; dishes without photos flow into a tidy list right below — never an empty gray box.
- Bistro — the classic two-column list, like a French brasserie. Compact and fast to scan — great for big menus.
- Noir — dark and luxe. Gold-toned type on black, spacious and dramatic. Perfect for dinner houses, cocktail bars, and omakase.
- Editorial — a bold magazine look. Your restaurant name set huge like a masthead, numbered sections, striking modern typography.
- Retro — playful nostalgic print. Warm paper, sticker-style price tags, dashed ticket lines. Made for diners, delis, taquerias, and ice-cream shops.
- Showcase — magazine-style photo features. Dishes with photos get big image-beside-text spreads (alternating sides); the rest appear in an elegant list below. Perfect when you've photographed your star dishes.
- Market — app-style rows, the layout customers know from ordering apps. Dishes with photos show a neat thumbnail; dishes without simply use the full row. Mixed menus look completely natural.
Photos adapt automatically. In every photo design, the layout adjusts item by item: if a dish has no photo, it's shown in a clean text layout — you'll never see an empty image box. So you don't need photos for everything; photograph your best sellers and the page still looks intentional.
Click a design, then Save Changes. Use Preview your menu page to see it live before customers do.
What Customers See on the Page
Beyond your items, descriptions, and prices, the page includes:
Category shortcuts — when your menu has more than one category, a slim bar sticks to the top as customers scroll. One tap jumps straight to Appetizers, Mains, Drinks, and so on. It's styled to match your chosen design.
Happy Hour schedules — items or categories with a Happy Hour window (set in Menu Management) show the schedule right on the page, like "Happy Hour · Mon–Fri · 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM." While the window is live — checked against your restaurant's timezone, not the visitor's — it highlights as "happening now."
Item notes — items restricted to one order type show a small label like "Dine-in only," and your item tags (Spicy, Vegan, Chef's Pick…) appear as small colored markers.
Order Online button — always visible, floating at the bottom of the screen, taking customers straight to your ordering page.
Why It Helps You on Google
"[Your restaurant's name] menu" is one of the most-searched phrases for any restaurant — often searched more than the name alone.
The Menu Page is built specifically to win that search:
- Every dish, description, and price is delivered as plain text that Google reads instantly (no waiting for scripts to load)
- Behind the scenes, the page describes your menu in the structured format Google and AI search tools (like AI Overviews and ChatGPT search) understand — section by section, dish by dish, with prices
- Google prefers a real menu web page over PDFs and photos of menus
You don't have to do anything to get this — it's automatic. For best results, give your dishes short appetizing descriptions in Menu Management, since those appear in search too.
QR Code Generation — Step by Step
Put a scannable code on tables, windows, receipts, flyers, or to-go bags, and customers land straight on your menu.
- Go to Dashboard → Website → Menu Page and click QR Code Generation.
- Choose where the code should send customers:
- My Wehanda site — your menu page on wehanda.com. The default, always works.
- Your custom domain — this option appears automatically once you've connected and verified a custom domain (Website → Custom Domain). The code then uses your own branded web address.
- My own website — pick this if you embedded the menu on a site you built elsewhere. Type the exact page where you placed it (for example, https://yoursite.com/menu). We pre-fill your site's address from your Allowed Sites list — just confirm the page.
- Check the live preview — the exact web address the code points to is shown under it, so there's never a surprise.
- Click Download PNG (print quality). You get a sharp 1024-pixel image named menu-qr-[your-slug].png — crisp enough for table tents, posters, and window decals.
Before you print a big batch: scan the code once with your own phone camera to confirm it opens the right page. If you chose your custom domain, make sure the domain shows as verified and active first.
Privacy note: the code is generated entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to any outside service.
