Prompts for a category — the four AI scripts behind every dish

Open a category and scroll past the diner-facing description. Prompts for this category lists four rows, each at Platform default.

The rule

The prompts are the script. Your AI context is the actor’s notes. Edit your venue’s AI context first — it changes the delivery. Only override a prompt when the script itself is wrong for your catalogue.

The four

PromptWhat it doesWhen you’d change it
Short blurbThe one line under the dish nameIt reads too formal or uses words you’d never say
Full descriptionThe longer paragraph on the dish pageYou want a fixed structure — always lead with origin, always end with a pairing
Image generationDraws a photo from scratchYour venue has a strong look the default fights — always overhead, always white plates
Image enhancementPolishes a photo you uploadedRarely. The default is deliberately conservative

How the right one gets picked

The header shows a chain — Chain: pasta → food → general. The system walks it in order: a prompt for pasta? If not, food? If not, general.

Most categories never need their own, because the parent already sounds right. Your Wines category is probably using the Beverage prompt, which is the most carefully tuned of them.

Customising plants a new step at the front of that chain for your venue only.

Changing one

  1. Click Customize for this venue on the row.
  2. A drawer opens with the platform default loaded as your starting point.
  3. Edit and save. The badge flips from Platform default to Yours, and the chain gains a venue step.

To undo, use Reset to platform default. Your version is deleted and the chain falls back.

Good to know

  • Most venues never touch this panel. The defaults work.
  • Come here when the AI is consistently wrong in the same way — “buttery” on a tannic wine — rather than fighting it dish by dish.
  • Overrides don’t propagate across a venue group.
