Reading time: 10 mins. 
Implementation time: 50 mins.

A Japanese restaurant should convey the magnificent spirit of the orient with an elegant and clean layout, carefully chosen colors, and eye-catching images of delicious Japanese food. Our showcase is an awesome example of the online Japanese restaurant menu presenting images of food and descriptions of ingredients. You can create the same menu all by yourself, and you don’t need to be a professional.
 
The showcase can be applied to any other restaurant type - family style, fine dining, fast food, etc. The only difference will be in meals’ types and the number of categories you will need to create. We will describe each page of the menu, its elements, and the business idea behind each element. Make sure to understand that to proceed with creating the same website you need to prepare media content and install FW Food Menu to your Joomla website. To learn how to get started with FW Food Menu, review Getting started documentation page. If you have media content and FW Food Menu ready, it takes less than an hour to create a similar online menu. The overall process for creating such a menu looks as follows:
 
1. Prepare media content - meal images grouped by categories/subcategories.

2. Install FW Food Menu to present your online menu with a simple and elegant design that fits your business idea.

3. Create the required categories/subcategories to show different meal item inside them.

4. Display all meal items to show their images, pricing terms, portion sizes, and descriptions.

5. Configure promo options to highlight and style specific meal items.

 
Check out our Japanese Restaurant Guide for more details on configuring Japanese Restaurant menu. Let’s review the showcase of the Japanese restaurant menu below.

Page with meals categories

A categories page presents the upper level of the menu. It makes it easier for your website visitors to see the entire menu of the restaurant and pick the category of their choice. The categories page looks like a dashboard displaying menu categories and showing meal items images in the slideshow played on hover.  Let’s review all of the elements on this page below:
 
 
1. Menu item title. A title of the restaurant.

2. Meal categories. The meal categories of your menu. Each category plays the slideshow of meals items images included in the category.

3. Meal category title. A short title of the meal category. 

4. Short description. A short description of the meal category. Specify a price range for your meals, the average price or any other specific information using this element.

5. View menu button. Click this button to go to the meals list. 


Meals list page

A meals list page displays all meal items included in the category. The first thing you can see upon loading this page is clean and minimalistic menu layout with meal items images which don’t overload it. The image banner at the top of the menu looks engaging and perfectly matches the color scheme. Let’s review all of the elements on this page below:
 
 
1. Meal category title. A title of the category you picked.

2. Meal category description. A detailed description of the meal category. Here you can place some general information about all meals included in the category. 

3. Meal category image. Upload the image that is shown at the top of the menu to make it look more appealing.

4. Meal items list. All meals included in the meal category. Set background color to add custom styling to your meals list. You can also set a background image as an alternative.

5. Meal image. Upload the image for each meal item if you want to create a menu with images. You can choose to hide meal images if it is needed.

6. Meal title. Specify the title of the meal.

7. Meal description. Give short information about the recipe or specify the ingredients of the meal.

8. Meal price. Specify a meal price. You can add specific pricing terms using this element, for example, add discount price for the meal. 

9. Recommended promo. The badge indicating meals that you want people to pay attention to.

Reading time: 10 mins. 
Implementation time: 50 mins.

Check out our Pizzeria restaurant Guide for more details on configuring Pizzeria menu. The pizzeria menu should be intuitive, well-organized, and attractive so the customer could be inspired by your menu and easily find out what’s included into a desired Pepperoni pizza.

Our Pizzeria menu is a great example of an effective and good-looking 3 columns menu with beautiful meals images, stylish meals backgrounds, tiered pricing, and descriptions of ingredients. You can create the same pizza menu all by yourself, and you don’t need to be a professional. This showcase can be a good fit to any other fast food restaurant type -  fish and chips, sandwiches, hamburgers, tacos, ice cream, etc. The only difference will be in meals’ types and the number of categories you will need to create. We will describe the page of the menu, its elements, and the business idea behind each element. Make sure to understand that to proceed with creating the same menu you need to prepare media content and install FW Food Menu to your Joomla website.

  2. Install FW Food Menu to present your online menu with a simple and elegant design that fits your pizza place (5 mins).

  3. Display all meals to show their images, pricing, portion sizes, and descriptions (40 mins).
  4. Configure promo options to highlight and style specific meal items (5 mins). Let’s review the Pizzeria restaurant menu we created below. Pizza menu page

Pizza menu page

A pizza menu should be colorful with appetizing images and complete details. A customer should be able to look through the menu before they start ordering. Make sure you have a clear list of the meals you have on offer. Aside from a clear list, it is also a great tool that you can promote your meals with.

This page is created based on the Menu layout allowing to display a category along with meals included in this category on the same page. The meals are arranged in three columns and each meal has a list of ingredients, available sizes and respective price for each size. Some of the meals are marked with Recommended and New promo emphasizing that the meal is worth paying attention to. Let’s review each element of the menu below:

  1. Page title. A title of the Pizzeria restaurant.

  2. Menu section title. A clear title of the menu section. You can add as many menu sections as it is provided by your menu.

  3. Menu section description. We added a text and image for a menu section description. You can add either of them or both.

  4. Meal. Meal referring to the Pizza category.
  5. New promo. A new meal highlighted with a blue label. You can choose between 4 promo options - Special, Recommended, New, and Meal of the Day. Each promo is styled differently.
  6. Meal background image. We placed a paper styled background image for each meal. Aside from a background image, you can set a background color.
  7. Meal image. An appetizing meal photo attracting the eye.


  8. Meal title. A beautifully styled and easy-to-find meal title.
  9. Meal description. A description of meal ingredients to provide your customers with more details.

  10. Prices and sizes. Clear pricing terms outlining meal sizes and corresponding prices for each size.

Our Pizzeria menu features a simple layout and design, allows to emphasize specials, style meals with beautiful background images and color, and many more. We have clearly outlined all the steps for creating such a menu in our Pizzeria Restaurant guide. Should you have any problems while configuring the menu, feel free to ask questions in the comments section at the bottom of the documentation page or contact us using General Questions form in your Client Section.

FW Food Menu release v1.7.0 - new category layout

In this release, we implemented a series of new features and updates along with several bug fixes. The prominent feature of this release is a new Category layout bringing the whole new concept to menu presentation. Let’s review all of the changes below:

New:

  • Category layout. We created a new layout for meal categories. If earlier categories and meal items were displayed on the same page, now meal categories are the top-level categories leading to a meal items page. The categories are styled with meal images slideshow displayed on hover. You can add a short description to a meal category, for example, a price range or any other specific information. 

  • 3 columns layout. We added a parameter allowing to set 3 columns menu. Works perfectly with the image on top new parameter. As a result, the menu looks differently and engaging.

  • Image top/right/left parameter. We added a parameter allowing to choose where you want an image to be shown in relation to the text description. This feature adds flexibility to configuring your menu. 

  • Meal item color and image background. We added parameters allowing to configure meal item background. Now the meal item background can be styled with different color or image. However, promo meals styling will still overwrite default coloring.

  • Recommended promo option. We added a new badge to indicate meals you want people to pay attention to. Now you have more options for promoting your special meal items.  

  • Category description left/right parameter. We added a new parameter allowing to place category description at the right/left of the meals columns. Now you can keep the text on the side and show meals in column(s) rather than underneath.


Updates:

  • Promo Category filter. The parameter allows to group not only categories but also promo options to show them on a separate page and style the way you need.

Fixes:

  • Cascading layout description. We missed description for Cascading layout. Now it is there.

  • Select categories for Cascading menu. We added select categories parameter to Cascading layout settings. Now you can choose the categories you want to display on the separate page.

FW Food Menu v1.4.0 release

This release was basically centered around a new menu design. Along with that, there were a series of new features and updates. Let’s review all changes below:

  • New menu front-end design. We have updated a menu design. A new modern and clean menu design is perfect for multipurpose restaurant use.
  • New design for promo options (New, Meal of the day, Special). We have updated promo icons and boxes to make them look even more appealing and attractive.
  • New 2 columns menu layout. Now your menu can be arranged in two columns to make it look more organized and structured.
  • New Menu Layout options for a menu item. We have updated menu layout options to add more flexibility to a menu item display.
  • New FWFM Meal Categories Module. This feature is especially helpful for those who want to display their menu in a module. FWFM Meal Categories Module has the same settings as the component - choose the categories you want to display, set two columns menu, display PDF download button, etc.
  • New multi-price feature. Configure a pricing grid for a separate menu position - set different prices for different portion sizes.
  • New price discounts option. This option allows to apply a discount to a specific meal. Discounts can be used in pair with promo options for more effective promotion.
  • Revised admin panel. We have updated admin panel design. Now it looks cleaner.

FW Food Menu v1.6.0 - cascading menu

In this release, we have come up with a few significant new features which will streamline user experience. We have also implemented a series of bugfixes. Let’s review all changes below:

New:

  • Cascading Menu Layout. This feature allows breaking your menu into categories’ tabs allowing to easily switch between multiple categories within the menu. As a result, you create a menu that works differently and looks more organized and structured.

  • Promo options display in a category filter. We have added a parameter which helps to show only deals on the separate page. You can choose to display either all promo options or the specific ones. 

  • Native Food Menu CSS file in the admin section. We have added the native Food Menu CSS file in Admin section so you could edit Food Menu CSS styles directly via Joomla admin panel.


Updates:

  • Renamed Default design to Italian. Following our customers' requests, we have renamed Default design to Italian. The Default title caused confusion with a default option that sets a priority between menu item and global settings.   


Bug fix:

  • Category Layout title display. Fixed the display of menu item title.

  • Category Module design and title display. Fixed the display of the module design and title.

  • Descriptions for CSS Style section. Added descriptions to CSS Style section to help understand how to customize CSS to avoid loss after updates.
