  1200×800 or 1600×1000 pixels (Landscape Orientation) and 800×1200 or 1000×1600 pixels (Portrait Orientation). Keep the file size under 800KB for smooth use in the TechSuite portal. Files larger than this cannot be uploaded.

• Format

  Use JPEG for best compatibility and good image quality.

• Make it visually appealing

   Choose an image that clearly shows the item, looks fresh, and sparks interest at a glance.

• Avoid poor lighting or blur

   Low-resolution or unclear photos can negatively affect how your menu is perceived.

  For a more professional and polished menu, aim to use images with similar lighting, angles, and backgrounds across your items

• Check the Result

  Preview your image before uploading to ensure it displays clearly across all devices (POS, kiosk, mobile, and online ordering).
