Follow the steps below
- Go to Your Menu > Menu Items.
- Click into the category you want to add an item in - e.g. it will be called Main Menu if you only have one category.
- Click Create new Menu Item at the bottom of the section where you'd like to add the item.
- Name: put the name of your menu item. For example, Nonna's Iconic Spaghetti Bolognese.
- Description: write a description of your menu item. Just copy what you have on your original menu.
- Display Price: put the price of the item e.g. if it was $10 type 10.
- Price in Cents: put an extra two zeros (00) to the price e.g. if it was $10 put 1000. This is very important because this is what the customer will be charged. Even if you just have a visual menu still add the price in cents.
- Type: There are three types: Menu Item - which includes a photo, Menu Item without a photo, and Info: items that usually cant be ordered such as dietary tags, 10% public holiday surcharge.
- Category: you can select from a multitude of options ranging from "Main" to "Alcoholic drink".
- POS ID: if you have a POS integration put this in, otherwise leave it blank.
- Available for purchase: Leave this toggle on unless you want to make the item unavailable for purchase.
- Visible on menu: Leave this toggle on unless you want the item to be hidden from your menu.
- Is Popular: Toggle this on if you want the item to have the "Popular" tag.
- Nested Item: Leave this toggle off unless you want to nest the item. Nesting is used for items offered as upgrades. For example, if you want to offer a bottle of wine as a size upgrade to your glass of wine, you will nest the bottle of wine item. See also: How to add multiple sizes/upgrades
- Click Dietary Information.
- Dietary tags appear on your menu items, as you may have them on your physical menu.If the dietary tags that you want aren't already created you can type it in under dietary tags and then click create. For example, you may use GF: Gluten-Free, GFO: Gluten Free-Option, V: Vegetarian, VO: Vegetarian Option, VG: Vegan, VGO: Vegan Option. You can use whatever abbreviations you like. Keep them short though so they don't clash with the price of the item as they are very close.You can create an info menu item to let customers know what the dietary tags mean.
- Filter Tags will filter menu items for your guest to make it easier to see what options are available to them. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten intolerance and 'without garlic and onion' are some of the options we have available to choose from. Menu items that are intended for vegan or gluten intolerant guests should be tagged appropriately.
- Click Create.
- Click back into the menu item you have just created and click on View item modifiers & upsells at the top to create modifiers and upsells. To learn how, go to Creating and managing upsells and Creating and managing modifiers.
