Navigating the dashboard

The Dashboard Home is your landing page after logging in. It gives you a quick overview of your restaurant's menu setup:

• Stats bar: See at-a-glance numbers for total menus, published menus, total items, and menu views.
• Brand Command card: A snapshot of your current design system: logo, color palette, and font pairings. Click it to jump to your Design Settings.
• Recent menus: Quick access to the menus you've edited most recently.
• Tips & guidance: Contextual tips to help you get the most out of MenuSquared's features.

The Menus page shows all your menus in a grid or list view. From here you can:

• Create a new menu: Click the + New Menu button or the blank card with a plus icon.
• Open the editor: Click any menu card to open it in the full menu editor.
• Manage menus: Use the three-dot menu on each card to rename, duplicate, archive, or delete a menu.
• Filter and sort: Use the view controls to switch between grid and list layouts, and sort by name, date created, or last edited.

Each menu card shows the template name, item count, publish status, and the last time it was edited.

The Analytics tab shows you how people are interacting with your published menus:

• Total views: How many times your menus have been viewed.
• View trends: A chart showing views over time so you can spot patterns.
• Per-menu breakdown: See which of your menus is getting the most traffic.

Analytics data updates in real time. Use these insights to understand which menus your guests visit most often.

The Settings page is divided into three main areas:

• Restaurant Profile: Your restaurant name, cuisine type, style, tagline, address, phone, and website. These details appear on your menus and public pages.
• Design System: Upload your logo (with optional dark/light variants), set your default color palette (primary, accent, and background), and choose font pairings for headings and body text. These become the defaults for all new menus.
• Account: Change your password, enable two-factor authentication (2FA), or request account deletion.

Two additional sidebar tabs help you manage your account and collaborators:

• Team: Available on the Business plan. Invite team members by email, assign roles (Admin, Editor, or Viewer), and manage access. See the Managing your team article for details.
• Billing: View your current plan, see usage limits (published menus, AI credits), manage your subscription, and access invoices. Upgrades and downgrades take effect immediately.
