Creating Your Menu
Your menu is your storefront. Learn how to make your dishes stand out and attract hungry customers.
Good photos are your most important sales tool. Use natural light, a clean background, and show the texture of your food. You don't need a fancy camera; a modern smartphone is enough!
Don't just say 'Chicken and Rice'. Say 'Spicy Lemon-Herb Roast Chicken with Savory Jollof Rice'. Tell a story about your dish. Is it a family recipe? What makes it special?
Calculate the cost of your ingredients, packaging, and your time. Browse other cooks on the platform to see what the market rate is. Competitive pricing can attract your first few orders.
Clearly mark your dishes with tags like 'Vegetarian', 'Gluten-Free', or 'Spicy'. This helps customers with dietary restrictions find your food easily and builds trust.
