Design & appearance

The Theme gallery. Its lower half is 57 colour presets, each drawn as a miniature of your own storefront — pick one and press Apply. A preset is a complete set: colours, heading and body fonts, corner shapes, card and button styles, not just a palette.

The layout is how your ordering page is ARRANGED — photo grid, text column, tabs, category rail. The preset is what it LOOKS like — colours, fonts and shapes. You pick a layout in the top section of the Theme gallery and a preset in the lower one.

You are almost certainly on one of the eleven designer templates. Colour presets style only the Classic and Photo Hero layouts; the eleven templates ship with their own fixed design. The gallery shows an amber notice saying exactly this when your current layout is one of them, and each layout card carries a badge reading 'styled by presets' or 'fixed design'.

Thirteen. Classic and Photo Hero are the two that presets colour. The other eleven are designer templates: Tabs, Bistro List, Photo Tiles, Poster Hero, Dense Grid, Category Rail, Menu Board, Carousels, App Column, Anunzio One and Video Menu. Video Menu plays the YouTube link from Settings, Branding and logo at the top of the page, muted and looping. Each card in the gallery describes what it is built for.

Yes — every preset card has a Preview button that opens your actual storefront, your items and prices, rendered in that preset in a new tab. Nothing is saved until you press Apply, and the preview deliberately shows the live stored version rather than a cached copy.

No. Applying a layout or preset changes appearance only — items, prices, settings, past orders and customers are untouched, and you can change back any time. The change is recorded in the change log with who made it.

On their next page load. Applying clears the cached copy of your restaurant's configuration on the spot rather than waiting for it to expire.

They are the same setting: the Theme gallery's layout cards and the 'Storefront layout' section under Settings → Ordering rules both write the same value, so whichever you touched last is what customers see.

Yes, on the Theme gallery page under The look → Storefront font. Keep 'Use theme font (default)' to follow the preset, or pick one of twelve families. It overrides your BODY text only — headings keep the theme's own font, which is what stops a font swap from flattening a design.

Three of the twelve are marked '· Arabic' in the picker: Cairo, Almarai and Rubik. Today's storefront is English; choosing one of these now means the font will not have to change when Arabic arrives.

Your photo style is 'Template default' and you are on one of the ten designer templates — black & white photography is part of their design. Set Photo style to 'Full color' on the Theme gallery page (under The look) to force colour on any layout; 'Black & white' forces mono everywhere.

Square — PNG, JPG or WebP up to 2 MB, ideally 800×800. It appears on your storefront, order pages and this admin panel. An advanced 'Logo URL' field exists if your image is already hosted somewhere.

The Current logo card on Settings → Branding & logo shows the picture that is live, with its file name, size and the day it was uploaded, marked 'In use'. Before you press Upload logo the chosen file is shown with its name and dimensions so you can check it is the right one; the button is greyed out until a file is chosen.

Because it was the long link from the browser's address bar — several hundred characters of place ids and tracking state. Only the short link from Google Maps' Share button is accepted (press Share, then Copy Link; it starts with https://maps.app.goo.gl/). The guide 'Get the short Google Maps link for your restaurant' above shows it with pictures.

From your Google Business Profile: on a computer, Read reviews → Get more reviews → Copy; in the Google Maps app, your profile picture → Your Business Profile → Get more reviews. It looks like https://g.page/r/…/review. Paste it into Google review URL on Settings → Branding & logo — the after-delivery review request only goes out once it is filled.

No, on purpose: the film stays on YouTube and plays from there, so you paste its YouTube link (a watch, youtu.be or Shorts link) into Header video on Settings → Branding & logo. Any other kind of link is refused. As soon as the link is in, the top of your page appears under it at phone width with the film playing, its name and its channel, so you can check it before you press Save branding.

The film is upright, filmed with the phone held straight or made as a Short. The Video Menu hero is wider than it is tall, so an upright film sits in the middle with black on each side. The preview on Settings → Branding & logo says so under the film; a wide film (16 by 9) fills the hero.

The Photo Hero layout puts it full-width across the top of your page, and the Video Menu layout shows it while your film loads (or on its own when no film is set). Photo Tiles shows it as a strip on the order and closed pages; the other layouts do not use it. Upload it on Settings → Branding & logo and crop it to the 3-to-1 shape there; it is sized to 1600 by 533 pixels, and a phone preview shows it as your current layout draws it before you save. Without one, those layouts fall back to a gradient in your theme's colours.

How a dish opens when a customer taps it. Classic is the window every layout has always used. Sheet is a bottom sheet with the photo on top, each choice group in its own card (Required or Optional, and how many to pick), a quantity pill and an Add button that always shows the total; after Add it offers your Goes great with dishes under 'Added, complete your meal'. It is on Theme gallery → The look → Dish window, Classic by default, and both looks put exactly the same thing in the order.

By design: the Video Menu layout always opens a dish in the sheet, whatever the Dish window setting says. The setting is for the other twelve layouts.

The row's Add button skips the sheet only when there is nothing to choose and nothing the customer must see first: no choice groups, no Goes great with offer or pairing, no loyalty-card lock, no mystery item notice, no allergen declaration, and room left in stock. Any of those opens the sheet. Once a dish is in the order its button turns into a counter: minus takes one off the most recent line of that dish, plus adds one more with the same choices.

Yes — Theme gallery → The look → Admin panel accent. It recolours the buttons, links, highlights and dashboard charts of YOUR panel only; the customer-facing storefront keeps its theme, so this is purely for your own eyes.

Settings → Closed page: background, text and accent colours as hex values, plus an optional message up to 120 characters. Leave a colour blank to keep your layout's default. The page appears automatically outside working hours — nothing to switch on.

Yes — the 'Preview closed page ↗' link forces the closed view for signed-in staff only. A customer opening the same address while you are trading still sees your menu and can still order.

Your message, when you next open, and your menu below it — greyed out and read-only, so they can browse but not add. Pick colours that keep that menu readable.

A phone camera would struggle with it: the code must be darker than its background and the pair must differ by at least 4:1 — the page shows your current contrast live. Refused at save time beats discovered after a print run.

Plain is the code and caption alone. Card is a bordered card with your restaurant name on top and the table number below. Badge puts the table number in a filled pill — the easiest to read from across a room.

Yes — tick 'Show my logo above the code' in the QR designer. On the Card and Badge styles your uploaded logo sits at the top like a letterhead, structurally above the code so it can never cover it or hurt scanning; the bare-code style has no letterhead by design. The A4 PDF carries a PNG or JPG logo; a WebP logo shows on the preview and the SVG files, and the designer says so when that applies. No logo uploaded yet? Add one under Settings → Branding & logo first.

Each preset is a deliberately matched set — background, surface, text, muted text and button colours chosen together — so applying one never leaves grey text on a grey card. The colours YOU choose freely (closed page, QR card) are the ones to check, and the QR designer checks its own for you.
