Editing a Menu

You can edit a menu at any time by clicking on the Edit button.

Copying a Menu

You can delete a menu at any time by clicking on the Copy button. This would usually be used if you have a menu for which you offer the choice of selected either:

• 3 courses OR
• 2 courses (Starter & Main) or (Main & Dessert)

In this instance, you would copy your 3 courses menu - rename it 2 Courses Starter & Main and remove the category. Then do the same again, rename it 2 Courses Main & Dessert but this time remove the Starter category.

You can then add all 3 options to your pre-order, so that guests can chose a menu option that suits them (as not all guests in the booking may want the same option).

Deleting a Menu

You can delete a menu at any time by clicking on the Delete button. 

Please ensure that the menu you are deleting is not currently active in existing pre-orders.
