Streamline Your Restaurant Business with Appery.io’s New Menu App Template

The world of mobile app development just got more delicious – thanks to Appery.io and their latest addition: the Menu app template. This user-friendly template caters to small restaurant businesses and offers versatile features for both admins and guests. Let’s delve more into what the Menu template has to offer.

Please check this link to see what it can look like.

The creation of the Menu app is swift with Appery.io ‘s App Builder. All you need to do is select the Menu template and create – your restaurant’s app, equipped with all the necessary pages and services, will be ready to go in a jiffy.

The default layout of the app opens with the menu page, a customizable header featuring the restaurant name, and a bilingual language selector toggling between English and Spanish.

 

However, Appery.io ‘s flexibility allows you to add any language to the selector with minimal effort.

One of the captivating characteristics of this template is its divided meal categories. Choose from four different categories: starters, mains, desserts, and beverages. Each meal comes with its own page, complete with a photo, name, price, and further details. Tagging options like “new” are also available to highlight dishes that you’d like to promote.

The app has an Add to Order feature, allowing guests to keep track of their orders, review, and edit if necessary before the final order placement.

The app also includes an About Us page that you can customize to the nines! It allows you to replace photos, working hours, and contacts with your own.

Once the app is tailored to your restaurant’s needs, all you have to do is print the QR Code of the published app and put it on your tables. Your guests will enjoy the luxury of ordering their meals in their own language, effortlessly.

Now, let’s discuss customization. The Menu app template is designed so that you can personalize it without writing a single line of code. You can easily add categories, arrange them on the categories page, and even add proper images for them. Moreover, you can even customize the language options and the translations for them, offering a truly multilingual experience for your guests.

Watch this video for some tips on how it can be modified according to your needs:

Besides the smooth customization process, the back-end management of the Menu app also stands out. The Menu_DB database, linked with the app, houses all the predefined meal records in all available languages and their details, offering you an easy way to edit and add meals.

In addition, the beauty of Appery.io ‘s Menu app extends beyond just customizing meal details. It enables restaurant admins to update the menu right from the app itself, bypassing the need to access the App Builder.

As an added bonus, app enthusiasts can look forward to more from Appery.io. Future videos will dive deeper into other exciting features tailored particularly for restaurant admins.

For now, however, it’s time for restaurant owners to delve into low-code app development with Appery.io‘s new Menu app template and discover a revolutionary way to streamline their small businesses.

Anyone interested can try Appery.io for free and see what the platform, along with the Menu template, has to offer. Do not hesitate to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more insightful content as it continues to release.

How to Spice Up Your Appery.io Starter App with a Custom Database Collection – Easy Peasy!

Hey there, friends!

🌟 We are back again with yet another fun and informative dive into the world of Appery.io. If you’ve been hanging out with us for a while, you know we’ve already covered some pretty cool features, like user registration via SMS and beefing up security with two-factor authentication. What’s on the agenda today, you ask? We’re going to get our hands dirty by adding a custom database collection to our Appery.io App Starter project. It’s going to be epic, trust me! So buckle up, and let’s roll.

Kickstarting Your Database Collection

First off, we need a sweet spot to keep all our app data cozy and organized. Here’s the lowdown on setting up your very own database collection:

  • Jump into your Appery.io account and open your project.
  • Click your way to the database tab and say hi to your Starter_DB.
  • Feeling adventurous? Let’s create a new collection by hitting “Create new collection” and teasing it with a catchy name (like “Tasks”).
  • Don’t forget to tick the “Secure collection” box under “Security and Permissions” for that extra layer of protection. Because, of privacy, right?
  • Save those settings, then shake things up a bit by adding some columns: namedatepriority, and userId.

Tweaking the App to Perfection

With our database set up, let’s give our app some flair:

  1. Page Creation Fun – Need more pages? Easy! Duplicate an existing one and dub it “Tasks”. It’s like magic, but you’re the wizard.
  2. Jazzing Up the Tasks Page – Time to get creative. Tweak your page to reflect your shiny new database. Think of it as giving your app a mini-makeover.
  3. Design Time – Head over to the DESIGN tab and let your inner artist loose. Rename stuff, add cool Text components for dates and priorities, and have a blast while you’re at it.

Making Tasks a Breeze

Let’s ensure adding or tweaking tasks is smooth as butter:

  • Clone a page for task management, and simply call it “Task.” Slick, huh?
  • Update labels and fields to make sure they’re talking about the right stuff—dates, priorities, you name it.

The Grand Finale: Testing and Tweaking

All set? Let’s hit that TEST button and take your masterpiece for a spin. Register or log in (if you haven’t already) and try adding some tasks. Edit them, delete them, dance with them – it’s your party!

After your testing fiesta, don’t forget to check your database to see your beautiful tasks resting there. It’s like sending your kids off to college – so proud, yet so emotional.

And That’s a Wrap

Easy Guide to SMS Confirmation using Twilio — No Stress, Just Success

We are here once again, this time with an easy-to-follow, stress-free tutorial on setting up SMS confirmation using Twilio. And exciting news – we also have a video tutorial for you to follow along with!

How to configure SMS verification for the app registration feature

Remember how we learned to set up SMTP server settings for email confirmations? Today, we’re switching gears to play with Twilio, allowing us to securely verify sign-up attempts via SMS. Cool, right? Let’s jump in!

Step 1: Getting to Know Twilio

Our journey starts with Twilio. Never heard of them? They are experts in sending out SMS verification codes.

  • Head over to the Twilio website and sign up for their free trial account. Once you’re registered and logged in, you can start personalizing your setup. You can either use an existing account or create a new one. I whipped up a new account I like to call SMS Confirmation.
  • Don’t forget to verify your phone number within Twilio. Just drop your number in, await the verification code via SMS, and then pop the received code into the website.
  • You’ll find a few more easy-peasy questions to answer and then hit Get started with Twilio. Congrats, you’re now ready for action!
  • Your Twilio dashboard will display a special phone number. This number is outgoing only and will be used to send confirmation messages to your own app users.
  • While you’re there, note down your Account SID, Auth Token, and your new Twilio phone number.
  • Lastly, ensure that you’ve listed the phone number you are using for testing in the ‘Active Numbers’ list (Phone Numbers > Manage), and that your Verified Caller IDs tab has the verified number ready to receive the authentication codes.

Step 2: Bring On the App Builder

Now that Twilio is all set, let’s put the App Builder to work.

  • Go to the Server Code tab then open the StarterLib library, which was created just for us. We’re planning to send out confirmation SMS, so we’ll need to replace EMAIL with SMS for the confirmation type in the StarterLib script.
  • Next, hop back over to the Twilio console and one by one, copy your Account SID, Auth Token, and Twilio phone number into the corresponding variables on the script in the StarterLib section. Hit ‘Save’ and voila — you’re all set!
  • The moment of truth has arrived. Click TEST on the App Builder page, fill in the sign-up page details, and then wait for the verification code on your mobile device. Once received, drop it into the app, and bingo! Your user is registered.

As you can see, setting up SMS confirmation using Twilio is easier than a walk in the park.

We hope that this short guide will make your app development experience even better.

Remember, we provide a handy two-week trial giving you plenty of time to experiment with our Starter App Template. Plus, you can subscribe to our YouTube channel for even more handy tips.
