The Show section of the menu manager lets you customize how you view your menu data. You can either view your entire menu or view menu entities of a specific type, for example, menu items, modifiers, or price levels.
Select Full menu from the Show section to view your entire menu on a single page.

|
Changes you make in the Full menu view are automatically saved. |
When you first open it, the Full menu view displays a list of your menus. Use the expand icon next to a menu's name to view the menu groups contained in the menu. Continue to use the expand icons for the menu groups to view subgroups.

Note |
|
Full menu view is not yet supported for multi-location restaurants. Also, you cannot use the scheduled publishing feature with Full menu view updates. Updates made in the Full menu view must be published manually. |
To view a list of all menu entities of a specific type, select the type from the Show section. For example, to view a list of all your menu items, select Items from the Show section. All of your items are shown on a single page, where you can quickly search for, filter, and edit them.
You can view menu items, modifiers, or price levels using the entity type buttons in the Show section.
This section applies to multi-location restaurants only.

|
Because the Full menu view does not support multi-location restaurants, this section also only applies to the Items, Modifiers, and Price levels views. |
When a restaurant uses the multi-location management module, its menu entities can be versioned and those versions can be assigned to specific restaurant locations, or groups of locations. For example, a restaurant could have two versions of an Egg Sandwich menu item, one for a Boston location and another for a New York City location. Versioned entities share the majority of, but not all of, their data. For example, the Boston version of the Egg Sandwich has sausage, bacon, and cheese modifiers while the New York City version only has bacon and cheese modifiers.
The menu manager can display both versioned and unversioned menu entities but they behave slightly differently:
-
If a menu entity is not versioned, you see a single row in the menu manager view for it.
-
If a menu entity is versioned, you see a row in the menu manager view for each version that is associated with a location you are currently viewing. For example, Menu Item A has three versions, one each for the Boston, Miami, and New York City locations. If you are viewing the Boston and Miami locations on the Menu manager page, you see two rows in the view for the Boston and Miami versions. The New York City version is not visible.
