Restaurant and food templates

How food & recipe get generated

Restaurant graphics have a specific recurring pain: a price change means redoing the menu. If each dish card is a template row rather than a hand-placed layout, updating a price is editing one cell and re-rendering. That applies to the printed menu, the delivery app tiles and the social posts equally, since all three usually show the same dish, photo and price in different frames. Seasonal menus benefit most — a quarterly rotation that would otherwise be a full redesign becomes a new spreadsheet against the same templates. Recipe pins are the outlier here, sized for Pinterest rather than print.

In practice: A menu spreadsheet batched to print-ready PDF for the printed menu and PNG for the delivery apps.

Fields you'd usually bind

{{dish_name}}

The item, with auto-fit for longer names.

{{description}}

Ingredient line — the field most likely to overflow, so bound with wrapping.

{{price}}

The reason the whole menu gets regenerated.

{{dish_image}}

Photo per item, swapped as an image variable.

Any text, image, QR code or barcode on the canvas can become a variable — these are just the ones this category tends to use.
