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.

 

35 STEPS

1. To create a new menu or edit an existing menu, please select Menu Management under Home.

2. Once you are in the Menu Management, navigate down the list and click on Menus

3. Of course, when you are in the Menus you can create several menus for different occasions. You should add all the products that your customers can order to a suitable menu.

Note: Existing menus can be easily edited or deleted here.

4. Now find Create new menu next to the search bar and click on it to create a menu

5. In the Create new menu you will need to enter the name of the new menu.
In this example we use: "Main Menu"

6. Under the name in menu settings, please select in which area of the location should the new menu be used, in order to assign it to areas and counters.

7. If it is available everywhere, please select the top level.

8. Now you can simply click on Create in order to save it.

9. In this section you will need to set up the menu.

10. First, set up ‘Pages’ (Pages are used to organise your menu on your POS Screen. Each menu page can be further divided into sections). Then click on "Add page"

11. In the Add new Page section enter the name of the page.
In this example we will use: Drinks

12. Type: Drinks

Info:
Two very common sites are "Drinks" & "Food"

13. Once you type the name, simply click on Add.

14. The next step is to create at least one section, depending on the size of the product range and the way you would want to have your DISH POS System grouped.

15. Before we do that, let’s create another page in this example.
Click on the "+" icon in order to add another page.

16. In this example, we will name the second page: “Food”. Once you type the name, click Add to Add a new page.

17. Now let’s create the first section.
Simply click Add section under the Sections.

18. Sections contain products and are part of a page. You can now configure a color for every section for quick recognition on the DISH POS.

19. In this example our first section is named: "Hot Drinks"
Simply type the name.

20. Now all you have to do is click on Add to create the first section.

21. In order to create another section and change the color of it. Under Sections click on "Add section" to proceed.

22. In this example we will name it: Soft Drinks. After naming it, click on "Color" to select a color for this section.

23. Now you can choose the color of your choice.

24. Once you type the name and select the color, please proceed and click Add.

25. If you wish to add further sections, simply follow the same procedure as explained in the previous slides.

26. Now you should be able to see the individual sections being filled with your desired product.

27. In this example, products are being added to the "Wine" section. To do this, click on the section.

28. You can move the sections to a different location using drag and drop.

28b. Drop

29. In the Available products, navigate down the list and select the desired category. In this example we select "Alcohol".

30. Under the selected category find the desired subcategory. In this example we selected "Wine".

31. With your mouse, simply click and drag the desired product. In this example we selected "Red wine", then drop it in the subcategory to add products.

31b. Drop

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:

  1. Click on a section (e.g., Wine).
  2. Browse the list of available products by category (e.g., Alcohol).
  3. Select a subcategory (e.g., Wine).
  4. 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.
