The Menu Management function provides a centralized and flexible platform to design, organize, and maintain your product catalog across all sales channels. It is built to streamline menu setup, ensure consistency in presentation, and give businesses the agility to adapt quickly to operational needs or promotional strategies.
Through this module, users can:
  • Create and manage menu profiles – define multiple menu structures tailored for different concepts, outlets, or order sources.
  • Manage menu items and modifiers – add, edit, or remove items, define item details, and configure modifiers to enhance upselling opportunities.
  • Upload product images – visually enrich menu items to improve customer experience in POS, online ordering, and self-service kiosks.
  • Controlled by outlet and order source – determine which menus are available in specific outlets or platforms, ensuring accurate and targeted menu visibility.
  • Configure session setups – schedule menu availability by time of day, day of week, or special events, supporting dynamic offerings such as breakfast, lunch, or seasonal promotions.
By consolidating all aspects of menu setup into one unified function, the system ensures greater efficiency, consistency across channels, and faster time-to-market for new products or promotions.
