In the Menu section on the left panel will bring up your menu builder. How it works is you can create a Category, then within that category you can create Products and Options.

Once you've added a Category, you can then add the rest of your menu categories and sort them by using the Sort Categories option. Simply drag and move the category into the order you want, select save to apply the change.

Adding products within a Category

Select the category you wish to add new products within and click the Blue "Add product" button in the top right. Enter the product title and click "Create".

After adding all of the relevant products for this particular category, you're now ready to add the product Options.

Select the Options section on the left menu below the Products section. Then select the 'Add Option' from the top right hand area.

Example: For a coffee menu, the Category might be Coffee, with the product options being Size, Milk, and Espresso shots.

So for your first option, this will be the first configuration you want to offer for this category and product range.

Once you've created the Product Option, you need to add the different options relevant to this option set.

Example: For Milk, the options could be None, Standard, Trim or Almond.

Each option set can have an additional price applied to the baseline product price.

Example: For a Flat white coffee, if the customer selects Almond milk, the option price of $1 will be added to the base price.

Type of Option

Each option can be configured based on how you want the option displayed to a customer. A 'scroll wheel' represents a drop down box, 'increase/decrease' buttons display plus and minus buttons, the 'switch button' is a OFF or ON type function, and the 'multi-selection' allows the customer to select multiple options at once.

Example: For a burger product, the options will be setup as a 'Multi-selection' so that the customer can select multiple options to add to the product.

Applying Product options to each Product

Each product needs to have the relevant options applied to it. Select the product, then the Options button in the centre top. All you need to do now is 'check' each box that is relevant and click Save at the bottom of the screen before moving onto the Presentation.

After the initial menu setup, click save and review how the menu looks on the customer side using the Kiosk or online ordering site.

Adding an image or icon to each product

Each product needs to have an icon or image loaded to it. Select Presentation then choose either an icon or image and upload respectively. Click Save before moving on.

Top tip: To see how this looks, after clicking save, navigate to your Kiosk or online ordering, refresh the browser or session and see how the image is displayed.

After adding all of your menu categories and products, you'll have a menu layout similar to the below.
