There are two ways to create menu items and modifiers in me&u 2.0, depending on how your venue’s POS integration is set up.

1) POS Sync (Bulk Operations / Imported from POS)

Most POS integrations are fully or partially synced with me&u.
This means:

• Your POS database is brought into manage in intemediary page called: Bulk Operations

• Menu items can be imported directly from Bulk Operations

• Linked modifiers in the POS may also sync automatically (integration dependent)

• A scheduled sync keeps item data updated from the POS

Note: Items must exist in your POS back office before they can be imported into me&u.

2) Manual Menu Build 

You can manually create menu items and modifiers directly in Manage.
This is commonly used when:

• You want full control over menu structure and upsells

• Your integration does not sync modifiers

• You are an H&L integrated venue with Price Sync (items may be imported or manually created, but modifiers must be built manually in Manage)

   

Option A: Manually create a Menu Item

Step 1: Navigate to Menu Items

1. Go to Your Menu > Menu Items

2. Click into the category where you want to add the item
   (e.g. “Main Menu” if you only have one category)

3. Click Create new Menu Item at the bottom of the section

Step 2: Fill in the item details

Name
Enter the name of your menu item (e.g. Nonna’s Iconic Spaghetti Bolognese).

Description
Add a short description. You can copy this from your physical or POS menu.

Display Price
Enter the item price as a whole number (e.g. $10 = 10).

Price in Cents (Important)
Add two extra zeros to match the actual charge amount.
Example:

• $10 → 1000

• $12.50 → 1250
  This is the price customers will be charged.

Type
Choose one of the following:

• Menu Item (with photo)

• Menu Item without photo

• Info (non-orderable items such as dietary tags or surcharges)

Category
Select the appropriate category (e.g. Main, Drinks, Alcoholic Drink).

POS ID

• Enter this only if you have a POS integration

• Leave blank if not integrated

Available for Purchase
Leave ON unless the item should not be orderable.

Visible on Menu
Leave ON to show the item on the live menu.
Turn OFF if you want to hide it from guests.

Nested Item

Step 3: Add Dietary & Filter Tags

1. Click Dietary Information

2. Add dietary tags if applicable (e.g. GF, VG, V, GFO)

   • You can create new tags if they don’t already exist

   These help guests easily filter menu options.
