There are two options to start with a blank template.
First, you can select the Menu option from the horizontal list of categories on the Home page (where you see your list of saved designs for your account).
The category list will be above your saved designs and it shows - Traditional Menu, Digital Menu, Table Tent, Takeout Menu, Half Page Menu, etc. After selecting the Menu category, the blank design will open in the editing software.
Second, if you are already in the editing software working on a template, click on the FILE option in the upper left and select NEW from the file drop-down list. Then select the type of product you want to work with from the category drop-down list.
