Carta de Menú (vs Carta de Restaurante)

Restaurant menu
This is from a menu and appears after the Carta de Restaurante.
I have always thought "Menú" is a set menu, whereas "Carta" is what we would call simply a menu. However, the list of items (platos combinados and bocadillos) under the "Carta de Menú" are individually priced so I'm now confused.
Can anyone shed any light, please?
Thanks!

the idea of "standard menu" is what the restaurant normally offers

Reference:
À la carte
In restaurants, à la carte /ɑːləˈkɑːrt/[1] is the practice of ordering individual dishes from a menu in a restaurant, as opposed to table d'hôte, where a set menu is offered.[2] It is an early 19th century loan from French meaning "according to the menu".[3][4]
The individual dishes to be ordered may include side dishes, or the side dishes may be offered separately, in which case, they are also considered à la carte

Discussion
Often, as Charles points out, the main Restaurant serves food only at meal times (lunch & dinner) while the others are open all day/evening,.
From what Communican says about the content, the suggestion ‘Snack Menu’ also occurred to me as a possible solution...

It seems pretty clear that "menú" is not being used here in its usual sense of a set menu at all.
Pablo & Gallo le invita desde la tienda on-line a configurar y montar su Carta de Menú de la forma mas sencilla siguiendo el sistema paso a paso eligiendo desde tamaños, colores, cantidad de vistas, lomos de madera o de metal hasta accesorios como tornillos y esquinas doradas o plateadas.
