How To Add Products To A Menu
Here we will show you how to add products to your menu.
Once you have created your menu, you can then start adding products to it. This is all done in the "Sections" tab.
Integrated EPOS system
If you are using a integrated EPOS system, and have the sync button ticked on your menu, you don't need to add any products. Your section headings and products will pull through to this section automatically and will be based on the items that are marked as available to us through the API (please note on some systems you need to make sure your sections and modifiers are also marked as available - your EPOS provider will be able to help you with this)
If you have an integrated system but you want to amend your menu, take off some items or have a limited merch menu for example.
You can EITHER
follow the steps for the manual creation of sections (make sure the sync button is deselected) OR sync all the items first and then deselect the sync button, before removing the items you don't want on your crowdEngage menus.
Manual Menu Creation
If you don't have an integrated EPOS system you would add your sections and products one by one. Make sure you have created all your products first then hit the "create menu section" button.
Add all the details of the section, whether it's beers, spirits, merch etc.
Once your section is created you can start adding products into it
Hit add item then search for the item in the drop down list. Once you've found it hit "create menu item" and it will be added into this section. Do this for all the items you want to include in this menu
You can drag your sections around to order them in the way that you would like.
Once you have created your menu you can Duplicate it from the main page, meaning you don't need to add your items manually every time if you have similar menus.
