Menu Structure

Overview

The Menu Structure page allows you to define the exact layout and content of a specific menu. Here, you can add categories and items, arrange their order, and configure menu-specific overrides for items.

How-To Guide

Accessing Menu Structure

1. Navigate to the 'Catalog' section in the sidebar and select 'Menus'.
2. Find the menu you want to manage.
3. Click the "Manage Structure / Add Items" icon (tree-like icon) next to the menu name.

Adding Categories to a Menu

1. On the Menu Structure page, click "Add Category Section".
2. You can either:
   • Select Existing: Choose an existing category from your catalog.
   • Create New: Create a brand new category and add it to this menu.
3. Click "Add to Menu".

Adding Items to a Menu

1. Within a specific category section, or at the top level if no sections are present, you can:
   • Add New Item: Click "Add New Item" to create a new item and add it directly to this menu.
   • Add Existing Items: Click "Add Existing Items" to select items from your catalog that are not yet in this menu.
2. Follow the prompts to select or create the item.

Rearranging Categories and Items

1. On the Menu Structure page, click the "Rearrange" button.
2. Drag and drop categories to change their order.
3. Drag and drop items within categories or between categories to reorder them.
4. Click "Done Arranging" to save the new order.

Configuring Menu Item Overrides

1. When adding or editing an item within a specific menu's structure, you can access the "Menu Overrides" tab.
2. Here, you can set a Menu Item Price Override that applies only to this menu, or toggle "Item is Available in this Menu" to control its visibility for this specific menu.
3. You can also configure Menu-Specific Variant & Modifier Configurations that override the item's default settings.

Publishing Menu Changes

1. After making any changes to the menu structure (adding/removing categories or items, reordering, setting overrides), the menu will show "Unpublished changes".
2. Click the "Publish Changes" or "Publish Now" button to make these changes live and visible to your customers.

Key Concepts

• Menu Section: A category that acts as a grouping for items within a menu.
• Unpublished Changes: Modifications made to the menu structure that are not yet live.
• Live Menu: The version of the menu currently visible to customers.
