Why Plenty starts with the menu

A better menu is not decoration. It is the product surface where restaurant confidence becomes customer action.

Restaurant software often treats the menu as a database table. Guests experience it as the restaurant itself: the food, the choice, the confidence, and the reason to order.

Imported does not mean ready

An existing menu can contain inconsistent images, operational abbreviations, missing descriptions, unclear variants, and category structures shaped by a point-of-sale system rather than a guest.

Plenty preserves the source while creating a separate review path for the customer-facing result.

The Sushi Wizard is a review system

The Wizard helps prepare images, names, descriptions, allergens, and metadata, but it does not silently decide what goes live. The restaurant and Plenty team retain control of publication.

The order summary should stay clear

A guest should be able to review items, quantities, modifiers, and totals without losing their place in the menu. A clear cart supports the menu instead of replacing it and keeps the route to checkout straightforward.
