In this article, we will show you how to create a new Menu.
A well-structured menu is essential for efficient order management and a smooth POS experience. This guide walks you through creating and setting up a new menu in New Backoffice from initial creation to organizing pages, sections, and products.
Step-by-step instructions
Accessing Menu Management
Start from the Home screen and select Menu Management.
Once inside, scroll through the options and click on Menus. Here, you can view, edit, or delete existing menus, as well as create new ones for different use cases such as breakfast, dinner, or special events.
Creating a New Menu
To begin, click “Create new menu” next to the search bar.
You’ll be prompted to enter a name for your menu, for example, “Main Menu”.
Next, define where this menu should be available. You can assign it to specific areas or counters within your location. If the menu should be accessible everywhere, simply select the top-level option.
Click ‘Create’ to save your new menu.
Setting Up Menu Pages
Once your menu is created, the next step is structuring it using pages. Pages help organize how items appear on your POS screen.
Click Add page, then enter a name such as “Drinks”. Confirm by clicking Add.
You can repeat this process to create additional pages, for example, “Food”.
Adding Sections
Within each page, you’ll need to create sections. Sections group related products together.
Click Add section and enter a name, such as “Hot Drinks”. Then click Add to create it.
You can create multiple sections, for example, “Soft Drinks”. For better visibility on the POS, you can also assign a color to each section.
If needed, sections can be rearranged easily using drag-and-drop.
Adding Products to Sections
Once your structure is in place, you can start adding products:
- Click on a section (e.g., Wine).
- Browse the list of available products by category (e.g., Alcohol).
- Select a subcategory (e.g., Wine).
- Drag and drop the desired product (e.g., Red Wine) into the section.
Repeat this process to populate your menu with all relevant products.
Finalizing Your Menu
After adding your pages, sections, and products, make sure to click Save to apply all changes.
Why It Matters
A properly structured menu improves speed, accuracy, and usability at the POS. By organizing products into logical pages and sections, you make it easier for staff to navigate and for customers to get what they want faster.
With these steps, you can build a flexible and intuitive menu tailored to your business needs.
