The upload page states the active limits and review policy.

Current limits: up to 6 images and 1 current menu PDF. The page shows a 20 MB image allowance and a 5 MB menu-PDF limit. After upload, images can be assigned as the main/hero image, logo, or gallery photo. TBE reviews media before public display.

Share Your Specials

  1. In the Specials Editor, choose View Your Promotions.

  3. To share a specific special, first save that special, then use its Share button in the editor.
