Before you print the QR code
- XO sauce has dried seafood, so the turnip cake has no vegetarian label.
- Pork, shrimp and peanuts are labeled for guests who avoid them.
- Serving hours are on the menu, since dim sum is often lunch only.

Questions about a dim sum menu
How many dishes should a table order?
Two or three baskets each, then more as they go. Piece counts on the menu help a table plan.
Should I charge for tea?
Many dim sum restaurants do, per person. Say so on the menu, and say refills are free if they are.
Carts or an order sheet?
With an order sheet, number each dish so guests can mark it. With carts, guests still need the menu for prices.
