In the Toast administration back-end, the Visible To configuration options control where a menu entity is visible and, by extension, available for ordering. For example, these configuration options control whether an entity can be ordered on a Toast POS device, on a Toast Kiosk, through a restaurant's Toast online ordering website, or through a restaurant's integration with another, third-party online ordering system. The following illustration shows the Visible To configuration options, which appear on a menu entity's details page:
The table below describes the behavior of these different settings
and how they are represented in the visibility array that
appears in the menus API for each menu entity:
| Configuration option | Menus API visibility array enum | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
In-store orders: POS |
|
The menu entity is visible on a Toast POS device. |
|
In-store orders: Kiosk |
|
The menu entity is visible on a Toast Kiosk. |
|
Online orders: Toast |
|
The menu entity is visible on a restaurant's Toast online ordering site. |
|
Online orders: Ordering partners |
|
The restaurant wants the menu entity to be visible on online ordering sites that integrate with the Toast platform using the orders API. |
Partner integrations should inspect a menu entity's
visibility array for the existence of the
ORDERING_PARTNERS enum and only display menu entities where
that enum exists.
