The big experience update
Fooodo's ordering experience has been rebuilt around one idea: stop behaving like an online shop, start behaving like a good waiter. The menu now adapts to each guest, suggests dishes that go together, and shows food that genuinely looks worth ordering.
This update arrives in stages. It is switched on restaurant by restaurant over the coming months, so not every location has every feature at once — if something below isn't in your restaurant yet, it's on the way.
A friendlier, calmer experience
The whole ordering flow has been redesigned to feel lighter and easier — fewer taps to find a dish, clearer choices, less visual clutter. A first-time guest should be able to order confidently without help, and a regular should feel the menu already knows them.
A menu that adapts to each guest
Instead of one fixed list for everyone, the home screen now leads with dishes chosen for the guest in front of it. Up to three blocks can appear — and the screen adapts: a first-time guest and a returning guest do not see the same thing.
Recommended
Dishes your own restaurant team has hand-picked — your signatures, your current promotions. This block is curated by the restaurant, not generated automatically, and every guest can see it.
Popular
The genuine best-sellers in your restaurant, ranked automatically from real completed orders. It reflects what guests here actually order most — and every guest can see it.
Favourites
A returning, signed-in guest sees the dishes they hearted and what they have ordered before. A first-time guest does not see this block — it appears once there is a history to draw on.
For the waiter
If a guest isn't sure where to start, point to the top of the menu: "Start here — these are our recommendations and the most popular dishes. If you've ordered with us before, your own favourites show up too."
From an online shop to a virtual assistant
Fooodo used to work like an online shop: the guest finds a dish, adds it, pays. Now Fooodo helps compose a meal — the way an experienced waiter would, suggesting what goes well together and catching what's missing before the order is sent.
"Goes well with" — pairings
Next to a chosen dish, Fooodo suggests dishes that pair with it — a starter, a side, a sauce or a drink that fits the main. The suggestions appear while the guest is still deciding, so a good combination is one tap away.
"Anything missing?" — the final check
Before checkout, a short prompt can surface what guests most often forget — a drink, a dessert, a sauce. One tap adds it to the order. It's the same nudge as a waiter asking "and something to drink with that?" — small, friendly, and easy to skip.
For the waiter
This is exactly what you already do at the table — "that pizza is great with a garlic dip". Reassure the guest the app does the same: "It suggests things that go well together — pick what you like, skip the rest."
Photography that makes the food look worth ordering
Dish photos are now far larger and edge-to-edge, sharp on every phone screen. A guest decides with their eyes first — and good photography of your own dishes does more selling than any description.
For the waiter
If a guest is browsing, let the photos do the work — "have a scroll, everything is photographed" — they will often spot something they would have read straight past.
Clearer dish labels
The small badges on dishes — "New", "Spicy", "Vegetarian" and the like — have been redesigned to be clearer and consistent across the whole menu, so a guest can scan for what matters to them at a glance.
Refreshed menu content
Dish names, descriptions and menu copy have been reviewed and refreshed across the board — accurate, appetising and consistent. Good content is part of the experience, not an afterthought.
