Beverages
Beverages is the drinks list that is not wine and not cocktails: soft drinks, beers, waters, coffees, spirits, vermouths and after-dinner drinks. It is built around the three formats those drinks are actually served in.
What one record holds
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Title | The drink name |
| Imagen | A single image, chosen from the media library |
| Vídeo | Optional video URL |
| Subtítulo | A short qualifier — the producer, the style, the origin |
| Descripción | Always-visible description |
| Descripción larga | Expanded on demand |
| Precio copa | Glass price |
| Precio chupito | Shot price |
| Precio botella | Bottle price |
Beverages and the wine list are the two menu types that use a single Imagen field instead of the photo gallery. One drink is one bottle or one glass; there is rarely a second useful angle.
The three formats
This is the only menu type that carries a shot price, and it exists for spirits and liqueurs.
| Format | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Glass | Draught beer, soft drinks, wine by the glass sold outside the wine list, vermouth |
| Shot | Spirits, liqueurs, after-dinner drinks |
| Bottle | Bottled beer, water, soft drinks, a full bottle of spirit for a table |
Fill only what you serve. A bottled water needs a bottle price and nothing else; a gin needs a shot price, and a bottle price only if the house actually sells bottles.
Categories that work
Waters
Soft drinks
Beers
Vermouth and aperitifs
Spirits
Coffee and infusions
DigestifsOrder them the way a table orders: aperitif, with the meal, after the meal. That ordering is set in All categories and is what guests read.
What belongs somewhere else
- Wines belong on the Wine list, which stores vintage, ageing, winery, grape, region and four bottle formats. A wine placed in Beverages loses all of that.
- Cocktails belong on the Cocktails list.
The exception is a house wine poured by the glass that never appears on the wine list. That is a legitimate beverage entry.
Layout
Beverages lists are long and rarely photographed completely. Price list is the practical choice: fast to scan, works with or without images, and does not expose gaps where photos are missing.
If you do use a photo-led layout, make sure every drink has an image. One missing photo is much more visible in a grid than in a list.
Allergen information
Enable allergens for beverages from Content settings → Allergens when the list includes anything with gluten, dairy, nuts or sulphites — beers, horchata, cream liqueurs and some aperitifs all qualify.
Bulk work
Beverages support the Excel export and the paste-in bulk table, with four columns: name, glass price, shot price and bottle price. A drinks list is usually the fastest menu in the whole restaurant to build this way.
