Menus
Build the menus of your restaurant or café — set menus and à la carte, with courses, dishes, prices, allergens and languages — and decide where and when your guests see them.

In Menus you write each of your menus once. Clava then shows them on your website, offers them on your event request form and lets your team add them to events. You choose the courses and dishes, the prices, the allergens and the languages — and you can switch a menu on or off, or give it a start and end date, whenever you like.
How many menus you can keep depends on your plan.
