Product Updates

New features, improvements, and fixes across FineDine — published as we ship them.

Event

Get your feed ready for Halloween in minutes

A new set of Halloween post templates is waiting on your dashboard home this October: spooky cocktails, pumpkin desserts, ghostly burgers and more, with seasonal copy already built in.

Pick a template, add a photo of your own dish, choose a caption and share it on Instagram or Facebook in one flow.

New feature

Know how complete your menu is with an AI score

Your menu editor now shows a Menu Engineering IQ score from 0 to 100, a quick read on how complete your menu looks to guests.

  • Every item is scored on its photo, description, allergens and price
  • Sections show their average score, so weak spots stand out
  • Open an item to see exactly what's missing and how many points each fix adds. The score updates as you edit

FineDine IQ in AI Reports can also suggest Recommended Items based on what guests look at together. Review the picks and add them in one click.

Product update

Show up to 10 popular dishes in a grid or carousel

Your website's Popular Dishes section now fits more of your menu. Hand-pick up to 10 dishes instead of 3, and choose how they appear: the classic grid, or a carousel guests can swipe through with arrows on any device.

Open Website Builder, go to Section Settings, and pick a layout under Popular Dishes. Your current grid stays as it is until you change it.

New feature

Add up to 10 photos to each menu item

Menu items are no longer limited to one photo. Add up to 10 images to an item to show the dish from different angles, plating styles or portion sizes.

Open an item in the menu editor, drop your photos into the new Images field and drag them into the order you want. The first image is the item's main image and is used everywhere the item is shown today.

Photos upload in parallel and oversized files are resized automatically, so adding a full set takes seconds.

New feature

Add a rotating image carousel to your website

Custom sections on your website now offer a third layout: an image carousel with text. Stack 2 to 6 photos beside your copy and let visitors flip through them.

Choose Image Carousel with Text when adding or editing a custom section, upload a photo for each slide, and reorder slides with the arrows. Each slide can carry a short bold highlight (e.g. 120+) and a small label (e.g. Happy guests), in every language your website supports.

New feature

See live orders on your floor plan

The Orders screen now has a floor plan view. Switch to it to see every table laid out by area — with open orders shown right on the tables.

Occupied tables show the guest, order time and status at a glance. Tap a table to open its order, or pick from a list when a table has more than one.

Your layout comes from Operations → Tables → Floor plan — arrange it once and the Orders screen mirrors it.

New feature

See approved reservations in your own calendar

Your approved reservations can now appear in the calendar you already use. Generate a private link once and subscribe to it from Google Calendar, Outlook or iOS Calendar. New, updated and cancelled reservations sync automatically.

Go to Reservations → Settings, scroll down to Shared Calendar Feed and click Generate calendar link. Paste the link into your calendar app's 'add calendar from URL' option. You can rotate or revoke the link at any time.

Tip: calendar apps refresh subscribed feeds on their own schedule, so new reservations can take a little while to show up.

New feature

See how every table performs

AI Reporting now has a dedicated Tables tab. Every table in your floor plan is ranked by scans, orders, revenue, average check, bookings and covers — over any date range you pick.

Filter by area and sort by any column to spot your star tables and the ones that need attention.

New feature

Fill menu details with AI — one item or your whole menu

Writing descriptions, allergen warnings, and nutrition info for every item takes hours. Now FineDine AI can do it for you — one item at a time, or across your menu at once.

  • In the item drawer: open an item and tap Auto-fill with AI on the General Information tab. Pick what to fill — description, ingredient warnings, calories, nutrition facts, or preparation time — and review the suggestions before saving.
  • In bulk: select multiple items in the menu editor and tap Enhance with AI. AI fills the empty fields of every selected item and saves automatically — watch the progress and stop anytime.

Calories and nutrition facts are AI estimates based on each price option’s serving size — double-check before publishing.
