• Menu items options

Adding a new Menu Item

From the main menu, click on Menu Items

Click on the +Add Item button

The following information is required:

Mandatory fields:

• Item name: This is the name of the dish, as you want it to appear on your online ordering page.
• Active: Tick this box to make the menu item active. If the box is not selected, then that menu item will not appear on your online ordering page.
• Item Type: Select the group this menu item belongs to (Food or Drink).
• Price: You can set up a different price for Collection, Delivery & Dine-in. The price must be inclusive of VAT. By default, the system will duplicate the price you enter in Collection for Delivery.
• VAT: Select the VAT rate applicable to that menu item.

Optional fields

Description: Enter the information you want to tell your guests about the dish. A full html editor is provided to allow any formatting required. The description will appear below the name of the dish on your online ordering page.

Allergens: You can provide additional information about any allergens contained in the dish. This will be displayed on your online ordering page.

• Dietary: You can include the diet that the dish falls into (you can select one or more). This will be displayed on your online ordering page.

• Spice Level: If applicable, select from Mild, Medium or Hot
• Internal Notes: Can be used for internal information that you wish to add to that menu item. This information is not displayed on your online ordering page.

Item Options

If your menu item includes options that need to be selected by the guest, click on the Item Options tab.

You can create a number of Item Groups each including several options.

• Click on + Add Item Group and enter the first option in that group. Click on Add New Option button to add further options.
• If an option has an extra cost attached to it, enter the price (in the example below, selecting the Special Fried Rice incurs an extra £1.00).

Selecting an option may or may not be compulsory. In the example below, the MIN number of selection is 1 and the same for MAX selection, as the guest must only select one type of rice. But if the dish was a pizza and you want to allow the guest to select any number of extra toppings out of a choice of 8, then the MIN would be 0 (guest does not have to add a topping) and MAX would dbe 8 (in case the guest wants to add each additional topping). Each of the topping can have a different price.

• To remove an option, simply click on the Delete icon.
• To remove an Item Group, click on the Delete icon.

Once you are happy that all the information has been entered, click on SAVE.

The new menu item is displayed in your list and can now be added to one of your Menu Category.

• Menu Item order: You can promote a menu item (move it up the list) by clicking on the Promote arrow.
• Copying a Menu Item: If you need to create a new menu item that is similar to an existing menu item, you can click on the Copy icon to duplicate that menu item.
• Editing a Menu Item: Click on the Edit icon to make any changes to the selected menu item.
• Deleting a Menu Item:  You can easily delete a menu item by clicking on the Delete icon. 
• Status: Please note that if you just do not want to display that item, you can just make it inactive (in case you want to use that menu item again in the future).
