Every item can carry rich detail so guests order confidently and your kitchen gets it right the first time.
What an item can hold
- Variants — sizes or styles like Small / Large, with a price difference per option.
- Add-ons — paid extras such as an extra shot or a side.
- Allergens & nutrition — allergen tags plus calories, protein, carbs and fat. Type the numbers yourself, or leave them blank and Menulisa derives them from the item’s recipe automatically.
- Featured — switch it on to give the item a badge and put it in the Featured row at the top of the guest menu (rename that row under Menu › Design, in Featured row).
- Removable ingredients — mark recipe ingredients as removable (“no onions”) so staff can tap them off on the POS; the kitchen ticket, receipt and stock counts all follow.
- Nutrition sticker — opt a dish in, and a kcal / protein / carbs / fat label prints for every bowl when the order fires — using your typed values when set, otherwise the recipe-derived ones, exact for that bowl’s size, extras and removals. See Connecting printers.
- Photos — uploads are auto-optimised into responsive image sizes.
- Availability — switch an item off the moment it runs out (it leaves the QR menu until you switch it back), or give it serving hours (“available all day” is just the default).
- Kitchen routing — send this dish’s tickets to a specific station (hot, cold, bar) — see Kitchen stations & routing.
- Translations — manual EN / AR / KU names and descriptions, with full right-to-left support.

TipA default variant can be pre-selected so the most common choice is one tap away on the POS and guest menu.
