Add sections and a popup to your menu

Every home section, the promotional banner, the popup and where feedback lives.


The Add-ons tab adds blocks to your menu's home, above the dishes, and a popup that appears over the menu. Each block shows on the phone preview as you edit it.

The Add-ons tab of the tamr menu editor, with two announcement bars under Home sections, an Add section button, and the Popup settings below
Add-ons. Home sections on top, the popup below.

Set up the popup

The popup appears over the menu when a customer opens it. It waits behind anything already open, such as the chat or a dish, so it never interrupts.

Pro

The popup and the promotional banner are part of Pro. On Free the popup shows a preview with Get Pro. A popup that is already live stays editable on any plan, so you can switch it off.

When it appearschoice
Right away (as the menu opens), After a delay (in seconds) or After scrolling (once they are browsing).
How oftenchoice
Every visit, Once per visit (recommended, the quietest option) or Once ever (one time per device).
How it appearschoice
Bottom sheet (slides up from the bottom) or Center modal (a centred box with a close button).
Scheduleoptional
Starts and Ends dates and times.
Slideslist
Image and text slides, with an image (1080 × 1440 px works best) or a video link, a title and body, and an optional button that closes the popup, opens a dish, goes to a category or opens a link.
Limited offerslide
A slide where the first customers to claim win. Set how many claims win and the claim button label. Winners get a code to show staff. Reset starts the counter over and cancels issued codes.
Use the popup sparingly

A popup every visit gets ignored fast. Keep it for a launch, an event or a limited offer, and leave it on Once per visit.

Ask for feedback

Feedback is not a home section. Turn the feedback card on under Settings → Feedback in the menu editor, where you also see what customers sent. See feedback →.

FAQ

Why can't I drag the promotional banner?

The banner is always first on the menu, so it stays pinned at the top whatever the list order.

Spotlight category is greyed out.

It needs at least one category on the menu. Add one on the Dishes tab first.

Does hiding a section delete it?

No. Switch it off to hide it from customers; its settings stay. Remove it from the card to delete it.
