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 ten designer templates. Colour presets style only the Classic and Photo Hero layouts; the ten 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'.

Twelve. Classic and Photo Hero are the two that presets colour. The other ten are designer templates: Tabs, Bistro List, Photo Tiles, Poster Hero, Dense Grid, Category Rail, Menu Board, Carousels, App Column and Anunzio One. 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, under Settings → Branding & logo → 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' under Settings → Branding & logo 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 Photo Hero layout puts it full-width across the top of your page — use a wide 3:1 crop, 1600×533px or larger. Without one, Photo Hero falls back to a gradient in your theme's colours.

Yes — Settings → Branding & logo → 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.
