Getting started

If you’re starting from scratch, visit the Taxonomy administrative page. Bistro provides two vocabulary to help describe your menu items.

• Menu Category — A classification to group each Menu item e.g. Appetizers.
• Dietary Category — A classification to describe the Menu item including uploading optional icons e.g. Spicy or Vegan.

Next, Bistro provides the Menu item Content type to describe a restaurant menu item including image, nutritional information, price and menu code.

A default Menu menu is added to the Main navigation menu, which will display Menu items in a traditional layout as a table by default. This is easily customizable to display Menu items in a stacked layout.

Finally there is the Custom menu Content type that provides a way to create restaurant menus with custom layouts.
