In this article we explain how to configure specific menus for each type of service in your venue: you can create dedicated menus for the dining room, delivery and takeaway, so your customers will see only the options available for the service they choose.
🔗 Getting started
If you haven't done so already, configure your services.

When you're sure you've configured the services suitable for your restaurant, you can create the corresponding menus and associate them.
As an example, we create a "Takeaway" service and proceed with creating a menu dedicated to the takeaway service.
🗂️ Create categories for the takeaway menu
Access the Digital Menu (QR code) > Categories section and by clicking on + Add category create the categories specific for takeaway.
Example: you can name your categories to easily distinguish them from those used in the menus of other services. For example, you can create the "Takeaway appetizers" category to distinguish it from "Dining room appetizers".
For each category:
Insert on the left a name visible only to you and your staff ("Takeaway appetizers")
On the right insert the name that customers will see ("Appetizers" - without the "takeaway" label)
📌 Please note: If you leave the Title field empty, customers will see the name entered in the internal field.

🍛 Create dishes for takeaway categories
Click on the blue List of dishes/drinks button next to each takeaway category and create specific dishes.
Remember that you can customize your dishes with:
Name: "Takeaway Carbonara" (visible only to you)
Dish name: "Carbonara" (what customers will see)
Price: You can set different prices compared to the dining room menu if necessary

📕 Create and configure the takeaway menu
After creating the categories and dishes, access the Digital Menu (QR code) > My QR Menus section and click on + Add.
Once the menu configuration window opens:
Rename your menu: you can name it "Takeaway Menu" to distinguish it from others
Select only the takeaway categories created in the previous steps
Customize layout, colors and settings on the page

The takeaway menu will have a dedicated QR code different from the dining room menu.

⚙️ Associate menus and booking methods to services
Remember that it's possible to associate a specific menu to each service you offer. This is very important to provide a professional experience without confusion to your customers.
By ensuring that each service is associated only with the correct menu, you will avoid a customer ordering takeaway making a mistake and ordering from the dining room menu (perhaps with dishes not available for takeaway or different prices). Similarly, the customer sitting in the dining room will see only the right menu and not the takeaway one, making their experience more smooth and intuitive.
Go to Configuration > Service hours to associate a specific menu and booking method to each service.
Let's see together how to configure the takeaway service:
Enter the edit page of the "takeaway" service you created
Select the booking method "takeaway"
Select the digital menu "takeaway menu" you just created
Save the changes
🎯 How the booking appears to your customers
🌟 Great job! 🌟 Now the customer who books and chooses Takeaway will see only the takeaway menu you configured specifically for this service.
The customer will access your welcome page, where they can choose the Takeaway service.
After selecting the time of interest, the customer will be automatically directed to the Takeaway Menu you created, from which they can proceed to order by selecting dishes and clicking on the cart.
This same procedure can be repeated for all the services you have configured for your restaurant, such as delivery and dining room.
