What's new in menus

March: The right items, at the right moment.


Menu quality influences customer decisions. In fact, 59% of customers say it’s very important when deciding where to order.* That’s why we’re continuing to improve how items are surfaced within menus and how bundles are discovered on Home — helping customers find what they’re looking for more easily.
