Menu blocks make it easy to display your restaurant's offerings directly on your site, improving SEO compared to PDF menus. Here's how to create and customize them:

Creating Basic Menu Structure

• Edit page/post
• Click Add Block
• Select Menu
• Open block editor with pencil icon

2. Create a menu:

• Enter menu name
• Add three or more equals signs (===) below
• Add optional description

3. Add sections:

• Type section name under menu
• Add three or more hyphens (---) below
• Include optional description

Adding Menu Items

1. Under each section:

• Enter item name
• Add description below
• Include price
• Use slashes for variants (glass/bottle)
• Use $MKT for market prices
• Add options with + on new line

Customization Options

Troubleshooting Tips

• Add
  at section end for odd-numbered items
• Use keyboard shortcuts for pasting (⌘/Ctrl + Shift + V)

• Avoid using spaces for separation

For balanced menus, place the category with least content first to avoid extra padding. Always use proper formatting and line breaks for best results.
