Build your menu and kitchen stations

Sections, items, options and default builds — and which station makes each item.

About 5 minutes to read

Sections and items

  1. In the owner dashboard, open Menu.
  2. Add sections (Drinks, Food, Breakfast…) and the items in each, with a price and a tax treatment.
  3. Mark your best sellers for Fast Lane or Favorites so they sit first on the register, always in the same place.
  4. Your edits are a draft until you press Save menu. Until then the registers keep the old menu; Discard changes throws the draft away.

Options and default builds

Give an item option groups — sizes, milks, extras — with how many a guest must or may choose, each with its own price change. A default build (“start with”) means the item arrives already made the way you usually make it, and staff change only what the guest asks to be different.

Kitchen stations

  1. Go to Menu → Kitchen stations (owners) and press + Add station for each place food is made — Grill, Fry, Espresso Bar.
  2. Back in Menu, set each item’s Kitchen station. Items with none go to your default station.
  3. Press Save stations / Save menu. Registers pick the change up on their next menu refresh.

Changing an item’s station never moves food already being cooked: each ticket keeps the station it was sent to. A station still in use cannot be retired until its items are moved.

Taking an item off for the day (86)

Run out of something? 86 it on the register (Inventory → item availability). The register will not ring it until you put it back on.
