Templates

A template is a reusable design + content schema. It decides how your booklet looks in PDF and on the web, and what fields the editor shows you.

Template categories

Menus

For restaurants, cafés, and bars. Categorized item lists with prices, descriptions, and optional photos.

• Classic — clean, timeless layout suitable for most restaurants
• Bistro — relaxed, café-style with slightly larger typography
• Elegant — serif headings, generous whitespace — for upscale dining
• Minimal — one column, no distractions
• Photo grid — image-heavy, ideal for visual menus (bakeries, desserts)

Welcome books

For hotels, bed & breakfasts, and Airbnb hosts. Cover page, check-in/out, Wi-Fi info, nearby recommendations.

• Modern — bright, colorful, current styling
• Coastal — light, airy palette for beach destinations
• Compact — shorter, 1–2 page essentials only

House rules & specialty

Short, single-page documents.

• Rules card — house rules with icons
• Cocktail bar — drinks list with descriptions
• Wine list — structured by region, varietal, vintage
• Transport guide — how to get from A to B
• Emergency — phone numbers and quick instructions

Switching templates

You can switch a booklet's template at any time without losing content. Fields that exist in both templates keep their values; fields unique to the old template are preserved in the database but stop appearing in the form.

To switch: open the booklet, click Change template in the header, pick from the gallery.

Custom templates (Pro)

On the Pro plan, you can create custom templates — with your own layout, colors, and form schema — or modify an existing template's theme.

WiFi QR codes

Many templates support an optional WiFi QR code block. Enter your network name and password, and Bookletty generates a QR code that guests can scan to auto-connect to your Wi-Fi.

Publish QR codes

Every booklet can be published to a public URL. A QR code is generated automatically and embedded in the footer of the PDF output, so customers can scan to view the live booklet on their phones in their own language.
