Editing Get Found Menu or Price List in Text Mode
Whether you run a restaurant — and need menus — or work as a consultant — and need price lists — Get Found gives you two ways to create them: Visual Mode and Text Mode. (For more on what controls the left-hand toolbar's lists choice, see Creating Get Found Menu or Price List.)
Mode | Description |
---|---|
Visual | (Default) Uses buttons and a step-by-step process to generate new menus or prices lists and then add sections, individual items and options. Show me an example. |
Text | Lets users enter text directly to create different elements of a menu or price list using specifically defined symbols. Show me an example. |
Because Visual Mode is the default, you'll need to manually switch to Text Mode if you want to use it.
To Work in Text Mode
- Log in to your GoDaddy account.
- Click Get Found, and then click Manage.
- In the left-hand column, click Menus or Price Lists.
- In the right-hand column, click on the menu or price list you want to edit and then click Switch To Text Mode.
- Text mode displays all of your menus or price lists, each of which begins with =. Click at the end of the line just above where you want to add text and press Enter/Return.
- Begin entering the text for your menu or price list. Use the Key to Text Mode Entries table below as a guide for entering the special text and symbols used to create sections, subsections, choices and options.
- To see how text mode's special text and symbols display, click Switch To Visual Mode.
- Toggle between the modes (text on left, visual on right) as you work until you get comfortable working in text mode.
- If you need to rearrange items while in text mode, you can copy the text and paste it into a new spot within the menu or price list.
- Once you're done, click Save Changes at the top of the page.

Subsection | === Subsection Name | At the top of a new subsection |
Text | % Text | Anywhere within a menu/price list NOTE: If you enter text without the proceeding %, it gets treated as an Item/Service Name. |
