A cover photo for a section

Every section on your menu can carry a photo at the top — the grill over your Steaks, a bowl over Ramen. You upload it once, and it fits itself to whatever screen the diner is holding.

The rule: you upload one photo and choose what must stay in view. The screen does the cutting.

How it works

  1. Open the section and find Cover photo.
  2. Drop a photo in, or click to pick one. Wide photos work best.
  3. Two frames appear — on a laptop and on a phone. They show the same photo cut two different ways, because a phone screen is much narrower.
  4. Drag inside either frame until the part that matters is in view. Both frames move together, and it saves as soon as you let go.
  5. Replace photo swaps it. Remove takes it off.

Good to know

  • A phone shows a narrower slice than a laptop, so a face or a logo centred on one can be cut off on the other — check both frames before you leave.
  • There is no crop tool on purpose: cutting the photo would lock it to one screen shape and throw away the pixels the other shape needs.
  • A new photo always starts in the middle. Your last photo’s framing is not carried over to it.
  • Photos from a phone (including HEIC) are fine, and large ones are shrunk on the way up.
  • Only people who can edit the menu can change it.
