Question

Our restaurant menus are pretty boring right now and display in plain text format w/ a lot of page scrolling required. We’d like to break them up into sections and add section thumbnails. Any ideas on modules or Drupal GUIs we can use to make this the most user-friendly for web visitors? I’ve seen some posts on how to create menus with content-types/vocabulary, but I’m more interested in presentation at this point.

Here’s an example of the tiered structure we’re working with:

Main restaurant page
-- Breakfast
---- Eggs
---- Pancakes
---- Sides
---- Skillets
-- Lunch
---- Burgers
---- Sandwiches
---- Desserts
-- Dinner
---- Pasta
---- Soups
---- Desserts
---- Favorites

We’ve tried pages linked to other pages w/ manual coding, but it’s messy and not good for usability. Ideally, we’d love something with consistent navigation, perhaps show/hide DIVs to make sections appear instantaneously, and reusable for our other menus.

Any ideas? Thanks.

My recommendation is the Quick Tabs module. You could set up a separate tab for each meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner).
