Designing a menu board

1. Start from a menu template on Signs (it asks which menu, or makes one with sample items), or open a sign and press Add widget › Menu and choose the menu.
2. Select the Menu layer. Shows picks the menu; Edit this menu opens it. Under Categories, untick some to show only those here and the rest on another screen.
3. Set the layout: Columns (1 to 4), Items as Name … price on one line or Stacked, and what goes Between name and price (dots, a line or space).

   

4. Photos: None, Small beside each item, or Cards. Items need a photo in the menu for this to show.
5. Prices: with the currency sign ($5.50), without it (5.50), or short (5.5).
6. Fonts and sizes: Font, Heading font, Item size and Heading size. These are the largest sizes; a long menu shrinks to fit, down to 60%.
7. Colours: Text, Descriptions, Headings and tags, and if you like Own price colour, a Background, a Panel behind each category or Headings on a band. Switches below set capitals, centred headings and lines.
8. Sold-out items: Crossed out (with your own Sold-out words) or Taken off the board.

One category’s own look: choose a category to give it its own font, sizes and colours, or a panel behind it, so specials stand out. Back to the menu’s look undoes it.

Split into boxes: one box per category, each moved, sized and styled on its own, so Coffee can sit in a tall box on the left and Breakfast across the top. They all still show the same menu; Undo puts it back.

The look is saved with the sign, not the menu, so the same menu can look different on two boards.
