Menu Management

Use the item list to maintain what you sell, and the menu editor to arrange how guests find it.

Open: Configurations, expand the correct configuration, then choose Edit items or Edit menu. You need a restaurant administrator account.

Before you start

Save a configuration version before importing, clearing, generating, or changing many items. Use a copy of the configuration when trying a new menu layout.

An item is an entry in the master list. A menu page displays a selection of those items. A sub-item is a choice offered inside another item, such as a sauce. See the glossary for the shared terminology.

Change an item's details

1. Open Edit items and search for its name or number.
2. Select the item to open its dialog.
3. Change the required fields, such as description, item type, or printer group.
4. Check the preview and any guest-type restrictions.
5. Close the item dialog or navigate to another item to save detected changes.
6. Reopen the item and check the saved details.

There is no separate Save button in the item dialog. Changes are saved when you leave the item, including when you use its next/previous controls. Do not use closing the dialog as a way to discard edits.

Name and prices are read-only in this dialog. Update those master fields through a cash-register fetch or item-list upload.

The item-state switch in the item list changes availability. Check the guest view after changing availability or customer-type restrictions.

Create and name a menu page

1. Open Edit menu and select Food or Beverages.
2. Choose Add food page or Add beverages page.
3. Select the new page and open Edit page on a narrow screen, or use the page's edit icon in the page list.
4. Enter the page title. Add guest-language titles if those fields are displayed.
5. Select the green check mark beside Page title, or press Enter in that field.

Result: the page appears in the selected menu section. For example, create Starters in Food and Drinks in Beverages. Page creation and ordering changes save as you make them.

Add and reorder items

1. Select the page that should contain the items.
2. Choose Add item in the page header.
3. Find and select an item from the master list. Repeat for further items.
4. Check that the items appear on the intended page.
5. Drag items to change their order. Drag pages in the page list to change page order.
6. Check the page contents and guest view after the move.

Already assigned items are disabled in the picker and show their assigned page. Move the existing placement when it belongs elsewhere.

Select an item card to change the item's definition. Remember that editing the definition and removing its placement from a page have different effects.

Set up a customizable item

Before starting, prepare the choice items in the master list and set their type to Sub item. For example, a meal might offer a choice of side dishes.

1. Open the parent item in the item dialog.
2. Open its sub-item/combination selection and choose the options guests should be offered.
3. Set the maximum number of selections.
4. Open the customization settings and choose one of the offered layouts, such as a list, a visual combination, or wine glasses.
5. Set the customization title, description, and optional background image.
6. Check the preview, leave the item to save it, and try the guest dialog with the intended customer type.

Result: guests see the selected choices and layout when customizing that item. Confirm both a valid selection and what happens at the selection limit before using it during service.

Choose an image

1. Open the item's image controls.
2. Select an existing resource, or open the menu-item image search to find and import an image.
3. Check the source and attribution information before importing.
4. Use the crop or image-framing controls when the overview/detail view needs a different visible area.
5. Review the preview, leave the item, and reopen it to check the saved image.

Resources describes the library. Bulk Operations explains automatic image assignment, reassignment, and removal across several items.

Translate menu content

Before starting, enable guest languages and choose their default under Configurations.

1. Open a page or item dialog and find its guest-language fields.
2. Enter the translated titles/texts, or choose Translate with AI to fill missing translations.
3. Save the page with its green check mark, or leave the item to save its changes.
4. In the menu editor, choose Preview language and inspect the result.

For several items, use Translate with AI from the item list or the active menu tab and review the result summary.

Before force retranslation

Force retranslation can replace existing translations. Keep a recovery version first, and review manually edited text before choosing this option.

The translated-name setting affects which item name guests see. When a translation is missing, the display uses the configured default-language text and then the original text as fallbacks. Preview each offered language before service.

Generate pages with AI

1. Save a recovery version and open Edit menu.
2. Choose Generate Pages with AI.
3. Choose whether to keep existing categories or let AI categorize the items.
4. If using AI categories, optionally enter the food and beverage page names you want.
5. Confirm the choice and follow the progress dialog.
6. Review generated pages, item placement, prices, images, and translations before guests use the menu.

Remove page contents or replace pages

Check the scope first

These actions change the guest menu. Save a version before proceeding and read the confirmation for the selected configuration.

Action	What it changes
Remove all items	Empties items from the menu pages while retaining the pages. It does not delete the master item list.
Clear All	Removes the menu pages.
Import legacy pages	Imports page content from the supported legacy configuration file; inspect the import result before continuing.

Use configuration recovery if you need to return to the previous menu. For master item imports, use the separate upload or cash-register fetch procedure.

If the guest menu differs from your edits

Check the configuration assigned to the location, the selected Food/Beverages tab, item availability, and preview language. Reopen the edited item or page to confirm its contents were saved. Give your administrator the configuration name, item/page, language, and error message if the issue persists.
