How to Add a New Menu Item

  2. Tap "Add Item" in the top right
  3. Enter the item name (English + Tamil optional)
  4. Set the price in ₹
  5. Choose or create a category (e.g. Starters, Mains, Beverages)
  6. Tap Save — vsite auto-matches a food photo
  7. Your item is live on the menu immediately

How to Edit or Delete an Item

To edit any item, tap its name in the Product Inventory list. You can change the name, price, category, description, or photo. To delete, tap the three-dot menu on the item card and select "Delete". Deleted items are removed from the customer menu immediately.

Marking Items Out of Stock

When you run out of an item mid-service, go to Product Inventory and toggle the "Available" switch off. The item shows a "Sold Out" label on your customer menu instantly — customers won't be able to order it. Toggle it back on when it's back in stock.

Mark items out of stock before your lunch rush to prevent order rejections and unhappy customers. It takes 3 seconds and saves you from awkward "sorry, not available" conversations.

Organising with Categories

Categories group your items on the customer-facing menu. Common categories: Starters, Soups, Mains, Breads, Beverages, Desserts, Specials. You can reorder categories by drag-and-drop. Put your highest-margin items in the first category — it's the first thing customers see.

AI Food Photos

vsite matches a professional-quality food photo to every item you add. You can replace it with your own photo at any time by tapping the photo on the item edit screen.
