Question 4

How can I collect and view customer reviews?

Accepted Answer

Customers can leave reviews directly from your public menu. When they open your menu, they can use the Add Review option to write a comment and submit their feedback.

You can view these reviews from the customer panel. After logging in, use the sidebar menu and click Reviews. This page shows the customer reviews submitted through your public menu. Reviews are only visible to you as the admin in the panel, so customers cannot see them publicly.

Question 5

How do I create and organize menu categories?

Question 6

How do I add a new product or dish to my menu?

Under the relevant category, click "Add Product". Enter the product name, price, description, and upload a photo. Before saving, you can also add optional information such as preparation time, spicy level, calories, and dietary tags.

Question 7

Can I temporarily hide a category or a product without deleting it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Categories and products have an Active/Inactive toggle. Set an out-of-stock product or seasonal category to Inactive to hide it from the public menu immediately. Switching it back to Active restores it instantly.

Question 8

What dietary tags and badges can I use to highlight items?

Accepted Answer

Signal Menu includes dietary tags such as Vegetarian, Vegan, and Gluten-Free, along with spicy level indicators from 1 to 3. You can also highlight products with promotional badges such as Best Seller, New, or Chef's Special.

Question 9

Can I schedule categories or products to show only at specific times?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Availability Windows let you configure specific hours or days for categories and products. For example, you can show a Breakfast category only from 8:00 AM to 11:30 AM or make a Sunday Roast available only on Sundays. Outside the configured schedule, the content is hidden automatically.

Question 10

How do I display allergen information and calorie counts?

Accepted Answer

The product editor includes dedicated nutrition and safety fields. Select standard allergens such as nuts, dairy, soy, seafood, or gluten and enter the calorie count. This information appears on the product detail card when a guest opens the item.

Question 11

Can I create menu images with AI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can use AI to generate menu item images when you do not have professional photos available. It is a practical way to make your digital menu look more complete and visually consistent.

Question 12

Why should I create images with AI?

Accepted Answer

Using a consistent visual style across all menu images helps your menu look more professional, standardized, and cohesive. With Signal Menu's built-in AI systems, your menu images can look like they were shot in a professional studio. This feature is especially useful and cost-effective for customers who do not have studio-quality product photos.

Question 13

How do I create an image with AI?

Accepted Answer

Open the product or category image area and click "Generate with AI". Upload a source image from your computer; you can use a JPG, PNG, or WEBP file up to 5MB. Choose a background or reference image to define the style and setting of the final result. Click "Generate", review the result, and select "Use This Image" if you want to add it to your menu.

In the Menu Editor, drag and drop products within their categories to change their display order. The new order is reflected immediately on the live guest menu.

Question 16

Can I change the currency of my products?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can change your default currency from the Restaurant Settings page in your management panel. Once updated, all product prices on the guest menu automatically display with the new currency symbol. Supported currencies are TRY, USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, AED, SAR, QAR, KWD, and JPY.

Question 17

When I update my menu, when do the changes become active?

Accepted Answer

Instantly. Changes made in the management panel, such as updating prices, adding categories or products, or changing a category's active status, are applied in real time. Because the guest menu is rendered dynamically from the database, customers see the updates immediately without an app update or manual deployment.

Question 18

How can I translate my menu into other languages?
