Menu manager overview

The menu manager displays your menu entities (for example, menu items, modifiers, or price levels) on a single page in Toast Web, where you can quickly view and edit them in bulk. The menu manager has a table that displays the type of menu entity you have chosen to view. You can only view one type of menu entity at a time.

Above the table, a set of searching and filtering options lets you refine the list you are viewing, making your menu entities easier to find and edit.

The menu manager can be used by either single-location restaurants or multi-location restaurants. Multi-location restaurants have some additional menu manager features, such as the location filter. By specifying multiple locations in the location filter, you can view and edit menu entities for multiple locations at the same time.

The illustration below shows the menu manager for a single-location restaurant.

You can use the menu manager with the scheduled publishing feature to make menu updates that are published at a future date and time. To schedule future menu updates, you make the updates on the Menu manager page and then store them in change sets. You assign a publishing date and time to each change set that specifies when the updates are made available to your restaurant's employees and guests. This chapter assumes you are familiar with change sets. For more information, see Understanding scheduled publishing and change sets.

Note

The illustrations in this section show the multi-location version of the menu manager page, unless otherwise noted.
