Building & managing your menu

The Menu screen is your catalog of dishes -- names, prices, categories and dietary type. Build it fast from a photo (AI scan) or add items by hand.

The Menu screen listing dishes with their veg/non-veg badge, price and category, plus the Add Menu Item and AI tools actions, the collapsible category chips with per-category counts, and the search/sort tools

Adding an item by hand

  1. On Menu, tap Add Menu Item.
  2. Fill in Menu Name, Price, a Photo (camera, upload, or a URL -- saving it makes it visible to customers immediately), Category (pick or type a new one), and Menu Type -- Biller's built-in dietary types (Veg / Egg / Non-Veg) drive the veg/non-veg/egg indicator, so there's no separate switch to keep in sync. Using a custom Menu Type instead (e.g. "Starters")? Biller fills in the veg/non-veg/egg badge from the dish name when it can (e.g. "Chicken 65" -> non-veg).
  3. Leave Description blank and Biller writes one with AI on save, or write your own.
  4. Tap Add.

To change an item later, tap Update on its row.

Does this price already include GST?

Under Advanced details, the Price includes GST toggle tells Biller whether the price you typed already has tax baked in (common when you priced a dish "GST-inclusive" from the start) or whether tax should be added on top at billing, as usual. New outlets default new items to inclusive; if your outlet has been on Biller a while, new items default to the exclusive behaviour you already have, and nothing about your existing prices changes unless you flip the toggle yourself.

Marking a dish out of stock

The Out of stock screen (left rail) lets any staff role search a dish and flip its on means available switch mid-service -- it dims and shows an Out of stock tag rather than vanishing. The item editor has the same toggle. (Linked to inventory? Biller can flip it automatically -- see Inventory & stock.)

A Kitchen team member sees an edit (pencil) icon on each row here -- tapping it opens a small sheet to fix the dish's name, description, photo, or category. Price and tax never appear, since kitchen can't change those.

Categories and menu types

  • Categories group dishes and double as a filter -- tap a chip to show just that category, tap again (or its ✕) to clear it.
  • Add a category on the fly while adding an item, or manage/rename/delete from Manage.
  • Menu Types are managed from their own sheet (New Menu type → name + icon); the built-in dietary types drive the veg/non-veg badge.

Working through a big menu

  • Quick Search and Sort by to navigate a large list.
  • Select All (or tick items) for bulk Update, Delete, or the AI actions below scoped to your selection.
  • AI tools gathers menu-wide actions: Upload Menu Photo (AI scan), Add missing ingredients, Add missing images, and Add missing descriptions -- each only counts items actually missing that thing.

The ingredient and photo AI actions cost 1 Biller credit per item; see Biller credits & pricing.

Linking ingredients (optional)

The item editor's Inventory Details section links a dish to inventory items and amounts so completing a bill deducts stock automatically. See Inventory & stock. A dish with none linked yet shows an Ingredients pending tag on its row in the list -- tap Update to add them by hand or with AI.

Guided tour

The first time you open this page, a short guided tour walks through the basics. Restart it any time from the "..." menu's Show walkthrough.

What Biller doesn't do (today)

  • No separate item-code/SKU field -- items are found by name.
  • No per-item time-of-day availability schedule, just Out of Stock on/off.
