Adding Pictures of Menu Items
Adding pictures of your menu items can be a great way to assist your consumers in making their food selections. Aloha Online Ordering enables you to add pictures of menu and modifier items. You upload the pictures to the Graphics and Content page of Web Admin, and then you use Menu Configurator to associate the menu item to the picture.
The following table demonstrates the dimensions for each image used on a menu. To use different image sizes requires changes to AlohaOnline.css. Contact the Aloha Online Ordering team for more information.
