App design tools for restaurants and cafés: the most design control in Saudi Arabia
Your app should look like your brand, not like a template everyone shares. Here is every design tool Nooks gives a restaurant or café owner.
The short answer
Nooks is built so the merchant, not a developer, designs the app. You pick a ready design, see it on a live phone with your real menu, set every colour, arrange your icon, add a second look, or upload your brand file and let AI build the design. Most changes reach your customers within minutes, with no App Store review. Nooks is a Saudi platform based in Madinah, and the design tools are included in the SAR 199 per month plan for the first branch.
Ready designs
A library of complete app designs, each one a different feeling, not just a colour swap.
- Classic. Clean and familiar, the safe choice for any menu.
- Polaroid. Menu items shown as instant photos.
- Waha. Calm oasis greens and cream cards.
- Bold Blocks. Thick borders and sharp shadows for a confident, modern look.
- Live preview. Choose a design and watch it change on a phone showing your real menu before you approve it.
Colours
- 21 ready palettes. Start from a palette that already works.
- Full control. Set every colour yourself: backgrounds, buttons, cards, text and more.
- Readability check. The tool warns you when colours make text hard to read.
- Web ordering matches. Your online ordering page takes the same colours automatically.
Logo, icon and name
- Icon studio. Arranges your app icon from your logo, or you upload your own icon.
- App name and splash. Set the name shown on the App Store and Google Play and your splash screen.
A second look
- Two versions of your app. Add a second version, for example light and dark, or a seasonal look, and switch between them from the dashboard.
Design from your brand file (AI)
- Upload once. Upload a PDF or an image of your brand identity.
- AI proposes the design. It suggests a design and every colour from your brand file, which you can then edit.
Exclusive design (optional)
- Designed by the Nooks team. A one-time paid add-on: a custom interface designed for your café or restaurant alone. You send a short brief from the dashboard.
What reaches customers instantly
- No store update needed. Colours, logo, banners, design and menu changes reach customers within minutes.
- Store update needed. Only changing the app icon or the app name needs a store update, and the dashboard tells you before you save.
Design in the Nooks Manager app
- On iPad. Controls beside a live preview, so you see each change with your real menu.
- On iPhone and Android. The same design pages in your pocket.
