Add an item to your menu

Last updated on Sep 17, 2026

Create a new item on your menu and choose where and how it sells. Owners and managers can do this.

If your store is integrated with Foodics, make menu changes in Foodics instead. Item names, prices, option groups and modifiers edited in Zyda will not reach your store.
