About the Menus API

The Menus API provides all the functionality required to create and manage restaurant menus.

The Menus API contains the following APIs:

• Menus: This API allows you to create and manage restaurant menus. Menus don't contain menu items directly. Rather, they're divided into sections, such as "Appetizers," "Mains," or "Desserts.", each of which contain a list of menu items.
• Sections: This API allows you to create and manage menu sections. Sections represent parts of a menu such as "Appetizers," "Mains," or "Desserts". Each section contains a list of corresponding menu items.
• Items: This API allows you to create and manage individual menu items. Items can be labeled and customized with item variants and item modifier groups.
• Item Variants: This API allows you to create and manage item variants.
• Item Modifier Groups: This API allows you to create and manage item modifier groups.
• Item Modifiers: This API allows you to create and manage menu item modifiers.
• Item Labels: This API allows you to create and manage labels with icons for important item properties or ingredients like "Spicy," "Vegan," or "Gluten-Free."

Before you begin

It's important to note the following point before starting to code:

• The Wix user must install the Wix Restaurants Menus (New) app.

Terminology

• Item: A menu item served at a restaurant.

• Item modifier: An additional option that customers can select for an item, such as "Almond Milk" or "Soy Milk" for coffee.

• Item modifier group: A group of related item modifiers that can be applied to an item.

• Item variant: An alternate version of a menu item with different properties, such as size, base ingredients, or quantity (for example 200 grams or 500 grams). Item variants can change the base price of the item.

  For example, for a salad with a base price of $10, you could have the following variants:

  • Small salad - $5
  • Meduim salad $10
  • Large salad - $15

• Section: A distinct part of a menu that categorizes and groups related items, such as "Appetizers", "Mains," or "Desserts."
