Clearer menus help customers make better decisions and reduce confusion at the point of order.
Customers increasingly want to better understand how much food they’re ordering and what’s in it. When this information isn’t clear, it can slow decisions and lead to incorrect orders.
You can add party size, ingredients and nutrition information to your menu to help customers make more informed choices.
Adding this information is optional. You can choose which details to provide and only the information entered will be shown to customers.
What you can add to your menu

Party size shows how many people a dish is intended to serve (for example, Serves 2 or Serves 4).
This helps customers better understand portion size and choose the right amount of food.
Ingredients
Ingredients let you share what goes into a dish using a free-text field.
This helps customers understand what’s in a dish before ordering and make choices based on their preferences.
