Then go to Settings → Branding & logo and set a Header photo: a wide 3:1 crop, 1600 by 533 pixels or larger, and pr AnsweredCan I put my digital menu on a TV screen behind the counter?There is no menu board mode today. Your page is a digital menu for ordering: customers open it on their phone, add to a cart and check out. You can open the same address in a browser on a TV and it wi AnsweredMy customers read Arabic. Can my menu show Arabic names?Yes. The text you type for a category or a dish is the text customers see, so type the Arabic name, or Arabic and English together in one name. The page's own buttons and labels are in English today. AnsweredDo I need a designer to make the QR cards for my tables?No. Settings → Tables & QR ordering → QR design & print pack does it. Pick one of the four colour presets or set your own code colour and background, write the caption under the code, choose Plain, Ca AnsweredCan I try a design on my real menu before customers see it?Yes — preview it against your own live menu rather than a sample one, which is the only way to find out whether your dish names and photo shapes actually suit it. Nothing changes for customers until y AnsweredI picked a new colour preset and my page looks exactly the same. Why?Most likely your layout brings its own colours. The template designs carry their own fixed palette by design, so a preset has nothing to change on them; presets apply to the classic and photo-led layo AnsweredWhich layout should I use for a very long menu?One of the text-led designs or the one with a sticky category rail. Long menus die on layouts built around big photographs — the customer scrolls past forty images to find the biryani. If your menu pa AnsweredWhy was my QR code colour rejected when I saved it?Contrast. The colours you picked did not leave enough difference between the code and its background for a phone camera to read reliably, so the save is refused rather than allowed through. A code nob AnsweredCan I change the font for the whole page, headings included?Body text only. Open the Theme gallery, scroll to The look and pick one of the twelve families under Storefront font, then press Save the look. Headings keep the font of the theme you applied, and tha AnsweredThere are 12 designs — what's the difference between them?Two (Classic and Photo Hero) are shells your colour preset styles. The other ten — Tabs, Bistro List, Photo Tiles, Poster Hero, Dense Grid, Category Rail, Menu Board, Carousels, App Column, Anunzio On AnsweredCan I put my logo on the printed QR cards?Yes, and it sits above the code rather than on top of it, so it can never cover part of the pattern and break the scan. Turn it on in the QR designer and it appears in the preview; what you see there AnsweredWhy are all my food photos in black and white?The ten designer templates use black & white photography as part of their design, and the default photo setting follows the template. Settings → Branding & logo → Photo style → "Full color" forces col AnsweredHow do I change my page's colours?The Theme gallery. Its lower half is 57 colour presets, each drawn as a small preview of a storefront — press Preview to see one on your real menu without saving, then Apply. If nothing changes, you a AnsweredMy QR code colours were refused — why?A phone camera would struggle: the code must be darker than its background and differ by at least 4:1 — the designer shows your live contrast and refuses on save rather than after a print run. The fou AnsweredCan I make the admin panel a different colour?Yes — Settings → Branding & logo → Admin panel accent. It recolours your panel's buttons, links and dashboard charts only; customers never see it.

Nothing saves until you press Apply, so try a dozen and walk away. Answered
