Do customers need to update the app to see my new home screen?

No. Layouts publish instantly. The next time someone opens your app, the new home screen is there. No app-store release, no review wait.

What can I put on the home screen?

A hero image with a headline, promotion cards from your running specials, hand-picked featured items, free-text announcements in your colors, and the app’s built-in cards: the order card, favorite items, favorite locations, and saved orders.

Do I need design skills?

No. You add sections from a palette and see them on a live phone preview as you go. Photos, prices, and promotion cards fill themselves in from your menu.

What happens to promotion cards when a deal isn’t running?

They follow the deal’s schedule. An upcoming special shows a “Starts Tuesday” style chip, and one that’s ended simply drops off. The layout tidies itself.

Can I go back to the standard home screen?

Any time. Switch modes and your custom design is kept, not deleted. Flip back later and it’s exactly as you left it.

Does this work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. One layout drives both apps. Design it once and every customer sees it, whatever phone they carry.

Home Screen Designer

Your app’s front door, designed by you

The home screen is the first thing every customer sees. Design it like a canvas: a big hero photo, this week’s specials, your fan favorites, an announcement. Publish it to every phone the moment you hit save.

A taqueria’s designed app home screen: a hero photo captioned “Fresh off the comal, tacos, antojitos y aguas frescas”, then a “This week at Coyote & Lime” rail with Taco Tuesday and combo cards

The designer

Drag it together, watch it happen

Add sections from the palette and they land on a live phone preview. Drop in a photo, type a headline, pick the specials to feature. What you see is what ships.

A sped-up screen recording of the home screen designer: starting from an empty phone, a hero image section is added with a photo and the headline “Fresh off the comal”, then a promotions rail with Taco Tuesday and combo cards, then a featured-items grid, and the layout is saved

A real session in the designer, sped up. Hero, specials, and featured items on the phone in under a minute.

The building blocks

Stack the sections your shop needs

Mix merchandising you design with the app’s own smart cards. Each customer sees their favorites; you decide where they sit.

Hero image

A full-width photo with an optional headline, shown on the image or below it. Link it to any item.

Promotions

Cards for your running specials, straight from the promotions you’ve built, or ad-hoc cards that push one item.

Featured items

Hand-picked dishes as a swipeable carousel or grid, with their real photos and prices.

Announcement

Free text in your colors: mariachi Fridays, a holiday close, a new location.

Order from

The app’s own location card with hours and the tap-through to start an order.

Favorites & saved orders

Each customer’s hearted items, favorite locations, and saved orders, placed wherever you like.

The same home screen further down: the announcement in the shop’s colors and the “Order from” location card with a Place Order button

The finished layout in the designer: the phone preview shows the hero, the promotions rail with Taco Tuesday marked “Starts Tuesday”, and featured items with live photos and prices

Publish

Save, and it’s on every phone

There’s no app-store release and no waiting. Hit Save layout and the next time a customer opens your app, the new home screen is simply there.

Everything resolves live. Item photos and prices come from your menu, and promotion cards follow their schedules. A special that starts Tuesday says “Starts Tuesday” until the moment it’s live.

And you’re never locked in. Ordare’s standard home screen is always one click away. Switch back any time and your design is kept, not deleted.

Three looks

Start simple, go custom when you’re ready

Standard

Ordare’s ready-made home screen: order card, favorites, and menu, no setup required. Every app starts here.

Photo takeover

A full-screen rotation of your best photos with the order button on top. One image slot, maximum drama.

Custom layout

The designer, end to end: your sections, your order, your merchandising. The full canvas.

The designer lives inside your branded app, and it’s where your promotions earn their spot on the home screen.
