Menus

Key Concepts

• Menu Structure: The hierarchical arrangement of categories and items within a specific menu.
• Publishing: The action of making your menu changes visible to customers. Unpublished changes are only visible in the dashboard.
• Menu Item Overrides: Specific settings (like price or availability) for an item that apply only within a particular menu, overriding its global item settings.
