Add your menu

Put the dishes you sell into BillDine. Type them one by one, or take photos of your menu card and let BillDine read them.

The POS can only sell what is on your menu. Each item needs a name, a price and whether it is vegetarian, so the bill and the reports come out right.

Step 1: Tap Menu in the main menu, then the Items & categories tile. This page lists everything you sell.
