Managing Your Gallery
Upload restaurant photos, control which are public, and decide whether guest photos publish instantly or wait for approval.
Dashboard and mobile app
Your gallery is the visual front window of the restaurant. It’s at Content Manager → Photo Gallery.
Adding photos
Upload Photo opens the dialog. Files can be JPG, PNG, or WEBP up to 10 MB, with an optional title and caption.
Three kinds of photo do most of the work: the food (signature dishes, seasonal specials), the room (your space, patio, lighting), and moments (a busy Friday, live music, an event).
Visibility
Every photo has a switch: on means public, off means hidden but kept. Useful for rotating seasonal shots without losing them.
You can switch between grid and list views and filter by public or hidden: worth knowing before the gallery grows past a screenful.
Photos are badged Owner or Guest, so you can always tell your own uploads from customer contributions at a glance.
Guest uploads
Two switches in the settings bar control this, and the second one matters more than it looks:
- Allow Guest Uploads: lets customers contribute photos at all.
- Auto-Publish Photos: on, guest photos appear immediately; off, they queue for your approval.
Note: Leave Auto-Publish off. It costs you a periodic look at the queue and saves you from a blurry photo of a half-eaten plate appearing on your homepage unannounced. Photos you upload as the owner always publish immediately regardless of this setting.
Check the pending queue regularly: approve the good ones, delete the rest. A mix of your polished shots and genuine customer photos is more persuasive than either alone, but only if someone is filtering.
Viewing and deleting
Click any photo to expand it full-screen before deciding.
Warning: Deleting is permanent and removes the photo from your website immediately. There’s no undo and no trash to recover from.
