# Visual & Digital Menu

> Create a view-only digital menu in storekit with no ordering or checkout. Customers browse via QR code or link — ideal for in-venue dine-in menus.

A visual menu lets customers browse your full menu without placing orders. It provides a digital menu experience — viewable via QR code or link — without enabling checkout.

## When to Use a Visual Menu

| Scenario                          | Description                                             |
| --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Not ready for online ordering** | Display your menu digitally while you set up operations |
| **In-venue display**              | Show your menu on screens or tablets                    |
| **Social media sharing**          | Share a browsable menu link with followers              |
| **Menu preview**                  | Let customers view your offerings before visiting       |

## Setting Up a Visual Menu

1. Create your store and configure your menu as normal — add categories, products, images, and descriptions
2. Go to **Store Settings**
3. Set the store to **Visual Menu** mode

Your menu is now live as a view-only experience. Customers can browse all products, view images and descriptions, but cannot add items to a cart or check out.

## How Customers Access It

Customers can view your visual menu by:

* **Scanning a QR code** printed at your venue
* **Clicking a link** shared via your website or social media

## What Customers See

All of the following are visible on a visual menu:

* Categories and products
* Product images and descriptions
* Prices
* Allergen and dietary information

There is no cart, checkout, or payment flow.

## Upgrading to Full Ordering

When you're ready to accept orders, you can upgrade your store to a full ordering mode at any time:

1. Go to **Store Settings**
2. Switch from Visual Menu to **Order & Pay** or **Takeaway**
3. Complete your payment setup
4. Your menu is now fully operational with ordering enabled

<Tip>
  Starting with a visual menu is a low-commitment way to digitise your menu. You can upgrade to ordering whenever you're ready — no need to rebuild anything.
