Assigning Products to a Menu

All Products must be assigned to a Menu to be usable by a POS.

Unassigned Products displays newly added Products that have not yet been assigned to a Menu. Click on the new product's check box and select the Add to Menu(s) button. Select the correct menu from the drop down and hit Save. Your product will now appear in the menu section you selected. The Menu Assignment(s) button will show you a list of menus the Product is assigned to, and can also be used to add an individual product to multiple menus, or edit which menus that product is assigned to.

If you have a menu selected, clicking on the '+' button will allow you to add an existing product to the selected menu.

Once the information has been added or updated, you will need to click the black "Save" button. After saving the changes, Publish the information by using the blue “Publish” button at the top of the screen. Choose “Menus” and then click the black “Publish” button.
