In a nutshell Step by step

Since orderbird 6.0, we’ve added a dash of color and improved navigation for the orderpad. You want to display Coke in bright red in your orderpad? No problem: This is how you add colors to your items:

In a nutshell

  • Open your app and go to "Settings" > "Orderpad" > "Menu card" > "Your family group"
  • Tap on an item
  • Tap "Set color" and select the desired color
  • Save the color

Step by step

In our example, you will learn how to add color to the item "Cola 0.2l".

  1. Open your orderbird app and tap on "Settings" > "Orderpad" > "Menu card" > "Non-Alcoholic".
  2. Now you see your soft drinks. Tap on "Cola 0.2l".
  3. Swipe down on the right side and tap on "Set color" next.
