About this Product
Standard Shopify collection pages were never designed to look like a restaurant menu. Diners expect to scan a single page — Starters, Mains, Drinks, Desserts — read prices and descriptions inline, and add items to a cart without bouncing between product pages. The Restaurant Menu Builder is a Shopify app that ECOSIRE builds to order, installs on your store, and supports — it is not an instant App Store download.
We build the menu as a Shopify Theme App Extension (an app embed block) so it drops into your existing Online Store 2.0 theme without forking it. Your food and drink items stay as native Shopify products — the app reads them through the Admin GraphQL API and renders a fast, single-page menu grouped into the categories you define. Each line item carries an inline one-click add-to-cart wired to the Storefront Cart Ajax API, so guests build an order without leaving the page.
Item-level details — modifiers and options (size, extras, spice level), allergen and dietary tags, and which menu (breakfast, lunch, dinner) an item belongs to — are stored as structured Shopify metafields under a dedicated namespace, keeping your data portable and Shopify-native. Modifiers map to product variants or line-item properties depending on whether they affect price.
You manage everything from a clean embedded admin: drag-and-drop ordering of categories and items, multiple menus with scheduled visibility, and a tuned mobile menu view. We register product/update webhooks so menu content stays in sync when you edit products in Shopify. ECOSIRE handles the OAuth install, configuration against your real catalog, and theme integration. The $999 price is a one-time build fee for a working, installed app — honest delivery lead time applies, and ongoing support is available.
What you get
- A working, installed Shopify app (Theme App Extension + embedded admin) configured on your live or development store
- OAuth app setup with the minimal required scopes (read/write products, metafields, and theme app extension) installed by ECOSIRE
- Your existing food and drink products organized into menu categories with allergen and dietary tags applied via metafields
- Configured registered webhooks (product create/update/delete) verified to keep menu content in sync
- Mobile and desktop QA pass on your chosen theme, including add-to-cart and modifier flows
- A short handover guide covering how to add items, edit categories, and manage multiple menus
- Source-level configuration and a defined post-launch support window (warranty period plus optional ongoing plan)
Who this is for
Independent café or restaurant owner
Runs a single-location eatery on Shopify and wants the storefront to read like a real menu rather than a grid of product tiles — fast to update, easy for guests to scan and order from on a phone.
Multi-daypart food brand
Serves breakfast, lunch and dinner from one catalog and needs separate menus that switch automatically, with modifiers for size and add-ons and clear allergen labeling for compliance.
Ghost kitchen / cloud kitchen operator
Sells prepared food online and needs a single-page ordering experience with per-item add-to-cart and dietary filters, without paying recurring marketplace commissions on top of Shopify.

Frequently Asked Questions about Restaurant Menu Builder
Is this an instant download from the Shopify App Store?
No. The Restaurant Menu Builder is built to order. After purchase, ECOSIRE custom-builds the app, installs it on your store via OAuth, configures it against your real product catalog, and integrates it into your theme. You receive a working, installed app — not a self-service App Store listing.
How long does delivery take?
Typical delivery is about 5 to 10 business days from the moment we have access to your store and your product/menu information. Simpler catalogs ship faster; stores needing extensive modifier and multi-menu setup take longer. We confirm a firm timeline with you before starting and keep you updated through build and QA.
What ongoing support and updates do I get?
Every build includes a post-launch warranty period covering bug fixes and adjustments. After that, an optional support plan covers compatibility with Shopify platform updates, theme changes, and new features. Because the app uses supported Shopify APIs (Admin GraphQL, Storefront Cart, metafields, webhooks), it stays maintainable over time.
Will it work with my existing Shopify theme and checkout?
Yes. The menu installs as a Theme App Extension (app embed block) into Online Store 2.0 themes, so it sits alongside your current theme without replacing it. It uses your native Shopify cart and checkout, so taxes, discount codes, and your existing payment providers all work unchanged. We QA it on your specific theme before handover.
Do I have to re-create my products in the app?
No. Your items remain native Shopify products. The app reads them through the Admin GraphQL API and stores menu-specific data (category, display order, modifiers, allergen tags, which menu) in Shopify metafields under a dedicated namespace. Your catalog stays portable and Shopify-native, with no separate data silo to maintain.
