  • Background colors using the background shortcode parameter

  • Currency symbols in the MenuMax settings

  • Number of columns (1, 2, or 3)

  • Remove backgrounds by setting background="none"

Can I use MenuMax for a QR code menu?

Perfect for QR menus! Simply create your menu, publish it on a page, and generate a QR code linking to that page. Customers can scan the code with their phones to view your contactless digital menu.
