What is Base Menu?
The Base Menu is the default set of menu items and serves as the starting point for creating and managing your menus. It helps streamline menu management by acting as a single source of truth when configuring items, prices, descriptions, option groups, and menu item groups. With the Base Menu, there is less duplication, helping you and your team avoid creating separate entries for the same items across different menus (e.g., lunch and dinner).
How to does it work?
Go to Settings > Base Menus > Add base menu to create Base menu and name your menu accordingly. You can create as many base menu as you wish. Add the menu item the Menu Items tab. Fill in each field, then click Save. If you wish to link options from Option Groups, make sure to create the options in the Option Groups tab beforehand.
Next, go to the Menus tab > create a Menu > Category, and then select the relevant menu items from the dropdown list. If you want to add a new menu item that isn’t listed, you’ll need to create it first in the Menu Items table.
‼️ Important note: Any changes made to a menu item in the base menu will be reflected across all outlets using that same menu item.
How to use it?
To use the Base Menu you’ve created, go to Settings > Outlets, toggle Enable Base Menu to the ON position, and select the Base Menu for your outlet.
Once a Base Menu is selected, the existing menu in your outlet will be override by the selected Base Menu. This means all menu items from the chosen Base Menu will appear in your outlet. Any changes made to the fields in those menu items will override the default values.
