Switch a menu on or off

Keep several menus at one location, choose which are in use, and rename, copy or delete a menu.

Who can do this: Admins and Location Managers by default (the “Edit menus and items” permission); a Supervisor or an Employee can be given it.

Web and iPhoneChecked

On this page

A location can keep several menus: a main menu, a Sunday menu, a Christmas menu. Each is either on or off, and any number can be on at once. A new menu, and a copy of one, starts off.

What “on” changes

  • The dishes offered when someone records waste are the dishes of the menus that are on.
  • Ask Yes Chef answers questions about dishes and allergens from the menus that are on.
  • A menu that is off keeps everything in it. You can still edit it and print it.

The page also shows two boxes, In orders and Off · not in orders, with the note Order-taking on the phone · not on yet. Taking orders in the app is not available yet, so those boxes only show which menus are on.

On the web

Go to Menu, then Menu

  1. Press the menu’s name at the top of the page. Each menu has a dot, green when it is on, and the number of items in it.
  2. Flip the Active switch. It says Menu switched on or Menu switched off.

In the same bar, for the menu that is picked:

  • Rename: type over the name and press Enter. It says Menu renamed.
  • Copy: press Duplicate. A copy with every category and item is made, named after the original with “copy” on the end, and switched off.
  • Delete: press Delete and confirm.

On the phone

  1. On the Hub, under More, press Menus.
  2. Each menu has a chip that says Active or Off. Press the chip to change it.

Tap a menu to open it; Duplicate and Delete are at the top. Renaming a menu is done on the web.

If it doesn’t work

“A location must keep at least one menu”
You tried to delete the only menu. Make the new one first, then delete the old one.
There is no Active switch
You can read the menu but not change it. That takes the “Edit menus and items” permission at this location.
There is no Menus row on the phone
The row is on the Hub, which managers and supervisors have, and only where Menu is switched on for the location. Use the web instead.
