How to Set Up Your Restaurant Menu on LaaoDo

Your menu is what guests see when they scan a table code, and what the counter picks from when billing. Setting it up is the one job worth doing carefully, and it takes less time than you would think.

Adding dishes by hand

Open Menu from your dashboard and add each dish with its name, price and section. Sections are what guests scroll through, so keep them the way your printed menu reads.

Building it from a photo

If you already have a printed menu, photograph it and LaaoDo reads the dishes and prices off it. Check what it found, fix anything it misread and save.

Prices and availability

A dish that has run out can be marked unavailable rather than deleted, so it comes back with one tap tomorrow.

Changing a price changes it everywhere at once: the guest's phone, the counter and any new bill.

Photos

Dishes can carry a photo. Guests order more confidently from a menu they can see, particularly for anything with a name they do not recognise.
