How would you solve it - Collection List for Restaurant Menus

Ok this gives me a better idea. Not sure why you would want people to have to scroll through all of that on one page though. That is an overwhelming menu from a customer perspective. With the web you have the ability to at least break it down into smaller chunks.

I think you will run into webflow limit restrictions though with 20 collection lists being the maximum on one page. This menu would require much more than that

If you need to have the full menu of 15 pages I’d suggest creating a nicely designed PDF that has the full menu and it’s even savable for customers.

Then break up the menu in easily searchable chunks. Each collection you create creates a template page for it so maybe there is a way you can break it down. You can easily design it where the customer doesn’t realize they are actually changing pages because it can be instant with those collection template pages.

for instance. looking at this menu
i’d probably break it down

Sushi, with an option field for all the types. to use as a dynamic selector.
But your sushi portion of the menu would use 8 collections on it’s own.

then I would make a vorspeisen collection
now there are different ways of structuring the collections and items here depending on quantity.
You could put all the Vorspiesen in one collection and then use options for Hot and cold, and then further option to the type eg. summerrolls

Or you could create a collection for warme and kalte and then option for the types and reference Vorspeisen collection.

Either way you’d be looking at 6 collection lists for your Vorspeisen portion.

Because you can’t mix static and dynamic content in a list, There is no way to avoid multiple collection lists for a menu.

And because of the sheer volume of this menu I don’t think you can put it on one webpage dynamically.

Maybe someone else has a workaround.
Before you start inputting a bunch of collections and items though I would map out how you want the collections and items to work with eachother this will help you build it faster and more efficiently. Otherwise as I have done in the past you might realize you have to redo it.
