Addition to the menu? Let's make this right!
Navigate to Change Menu Items > Items > Create New Item
Step by Step
The first step to creating your item is by entering in the Title and selecting its Menu Section only, then hitting SAVE (top right of the screen). This will then reload the item with all the customisable options such as pricing, option groups, additions and minuses.
Once you have hit save. You will notice that the layout of the item creator has changed. Here is a breakdown of what you can adjust in each tab.
Basic Info
Title : The item name that appears on your Order Manager and docket
Display Title : The name that is displayed to the customer when browsing the store
Description : A chance to up-sell and explain to the customer what the item is. This box will auto adjust to single spacing. Please see our guide on using HTML coding to improve the visual appeal of your menu.
Base Price : The price of the item. This can be changed for different menus easier in the Menu Editor
Visibility : You can set this to be hidden if needed. This is also easier to do in the Menu Editor
Sequence : The order in which your items display on your menu (left to right). 0 = first (we recommend using sequencing of 5 or 10 to allow for easier management in the future)
Ingredients
Additions : Select from list of created ingredients and active them if they are relevant to the item.
Subtractions : Let customers know they can only remove certain ingredients and have an understanding of their options with the item. This will prevent them from making unachievable requests before they reach the checkout and use the Special Instructions.
Options : Apply your created Options here and set them Minimum and Maximum quantities. When needed, this will prevent the customer from adding that item to the basket before they've made those options. E.g. Cooking Degree on a Steak or Choosing at least 2 sides for their meal.
