The most frequently asked questions about menu design customization
Customizing the digital menu design is one of the most searched topics by restaurant owners who want to offer a modern experience to their customers. We have gathered the most frequently asked questions and answered them clearly and completely, based on the real features of the Menivo platform.
What is menu design customization and why does it matter for my restaurant?
Menu design customization means the ability to visually and structurally adapt your restaurant's digital menu so that it reflects your brand identity. This includes adding your logo, organizing categories, and displaying product photos, descriptions, and prices in an attractive way.
A well-customized menu is not just aesthetic — it directly influences customers' purchasing decisions. According to studies, a visual and well-structured digital menu can increase the average order value by up to 30%.

The Menivo platform offers you a wide range of menu design customization options. Here's what you can modify and adapt:
- The restaurant's logo (image automatically optimized in WebP format)
- The restaurant's cover photo
- Name, description, and opening hours (available in Romanian and English)
- Custom menu categories (e.g., Appetizers, Main Courses, Desserts, Cocktails)
- Photos, prices, descriptions, and ingredients for each product
- Allergen information and nutritional values for each individual product
- Flipbook-style image gallery for presenting the restaurant

You can start customizing by following the step-by-step guide for creating a menu in Menivo.
How can I add my restaurant's logo and cover photo?
Adding the logo and cover photo is done from the restaurant's settings section, right after registration. The Menivo platform automatically processes uploaded images: it resizes them to the optimal maximum width and converts them to WebP format at 90% quality, for fast loading on any device.
Accepted formats are: JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP. It is recommended to use high-resolution images to achieve a professional visual result. For details on configuring your restaurant's general information, check out the guide for configuring restaurant settings on Menivo.
Can I customize the menu categories and the order in which they appear?
Yes, Menivo allows you to create fully customized categories and reorder them anytime using the drag-and-drop feature. Each category can be assigned to a specific department: kitchen, bar, or both — an essential feature for restaurants with mixed operations.
Categories can also be named in both Romanian and English, to provide a bilingual experience for international customers. Find out how to create and manage categories by accessing the complete guide for creating menu categories or the tutorial for reordering categories.
How do I add photos, prices, and descriptions for menu products?
Each product added in Menivo can include its own photo, price, detailed description, product weight, and ingredients — all available in two languages (RO and EN). Product images are automatically processed to load quickly on customers' phones.
In addition, you can specify whether the product is frozen, add associated allergens, and duplicate existing products to save time. Check out the complete tutorial for adding products to the menu for a detailed guide.
Does menu design customization also include allergen and nutritional information?
Absolutely. Menu design customization on Menivo is not limited to the visual aspect — it also includes essential information for customers' health and safety. The platform allows you to add allergens for each individual product, with the help of an artificial intelligence-based generator that automates the process.
Additionally, the integrated nutritional value calculator allows you to display calories, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates for each dish. This information is not just a customization element, but also a legal requirement in Romania. Read more about:
Can I bulk import products to customize my menu faster?
Yes! Menivo offers the Excel file import feature (XLSX or XLS) for both restaurants and menus and products. This feature is ideal if you already have an existing menu and want to quickly set it up on the digital platform, without adding each product manually.
There is also the option to import images, with automatic processing. You can download a predefined template directly from the app to make sure the data format is correct. This feature saves hours of work during initial setup.
How do I create and customize flyers for my restaurant with Menivo?
Menivo includes a flyer editor with an interactive canvas, which allows you to create custom promotional materials directly from the platform. You can add titles, images, and other graphic elements, then save the design in digital format for online distribution or printing.
Flyers are associated with your restaurant and can be edited anytime, without the need for an external graphic designer. This is an advanced component of menu design customization that extends your brand's presence beyond the menu itself.
Does menu design customization also work in multiple languages?
Yes, Menivo supports bilingual menus — in Romanian and English. Essentially, all key elements can be entered in both languages: the restaurant's name, description, opening hours, menu categories, products (name, description, ingredients), and more.
This feature is essential for restaurants in tourist areas or large cities, where international customers represent a significant part of the traffic. The restaurant's slug (URL address) can also be customized separately for each language.
Does the generated QR code automatically reflect design changes in the menu?
Yes! This is one of the biggest advantages of a digital menu over a printed one. The QR code generated by Menivo is unique per restaurant and is connected in real time to your digital menu. Any change in design, price, product, or category is reflected immediately, without needing to print a new QR code.
Customers who scan the QR code will always see the updated and customized version of your menu. If you want to better understand how this technology works, read our article about what a QR code is and how it works.

- Number of restaurants managed

- Number of products per category
