Need a clean menu for your café, food truck, pop-up, bake sale or dinner party? Menuly turns your sections, dishes and prices into a styled, printable menu PDF — no design software, no template hunting. Enter your restaurant name and an optional tagline, add sections and dishes, pick a paper size and style, and tap Make Menu PDF. • YOUR SECTIONS — starters, mains, desserts, drinks or anything you like. Add, rename and delete sections and items as you go. • NAME, DESCRIPTION, PRICE — each dish gets its name on the left, the price on the right joined by dotted leaders, and an optional description underneath. Prices are free text, so any currency works. • THREE STYLES — Classic, Modern and Bistro, each with its own accent colour. • LETTER OR A4 — choose US Letter or A4 paper. Long menus continue onto as many pages as they need — no dish is split across pages and a section heading never sits alone at the bottom — with page numbers and your restaurant name repeated at the top of each extra page. The paper size starts on the one your region uses. • PRINT, SHARE OR SAVE — print with AirPrint, share the PDF, or save it to Files. Honest scope: Menuly makes text-only menus — no photos or logos — and it isn't an ordering, POS or QR-menu system. Your menu is saved on your iPhone as you type, so it's still there the next time you open the app. Your menu is made on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. Try it free — 3 menus. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited menus. No subscription, no ads. Questions: overlapmarr@gmail.com
