How to set up your menu with Menu Maker
Your menu is a powerful tool for your business. A clear and detailed menu will make it more appealing to your diners. Remember that this is the way you will show all the dishes that your restaurant offers.
How is a menu structured?
Schedule
Different menus can be set up for different times of the day. For example, the breakfast menu from 7am to 11am or the lunch menu from 11am to 4pm. Each menu will have certain hours or days assigned. A menu has the following categories per day:
- Breakfast
- Food
- Lunch
- Dinner
Categories
Categories are groups of items used to organize your menu.
Some examples:
- Appetizers
- Desserts
- Fan favorites
You can organize your Lunch menu, for instance, with appetizers, entrees, and desserts.
Create the categories you think are necessary.
Items
Items are usually individual foods that form categories. Smaller items like condiments or toppings can be used to customize larger items. For example, a cheeseburger can be customized with tomatoes and ketchup.
Modifier groups
You can group smaller item sets into modifier groups and then link them to larger items. For example, you can create a modifier group for toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, and mustard, then link it to a cheeseburger and chicken sandwich.
Some examples:
- Size (Small/Medium/Large)
- Toppings
- Dressings
- Accompaniments
