Creating and editing menus

A layout will normally consist of multiple menus. Menus are used to display similar items. In most schools, these are typically “Breakfast”, “Morning break”, and “Lunch”, meaning that all items sold at breakfast are on a single menu and so on, but they could also be used to display products by type such as “Hot food”, “Cold food”, “Snacks”, and “Drinks”.

*Some schools may even use a menu for different locations in the school. For example, if the school has a tuck shop, they may create a menu that only includes those items that are sold in that location.

The menus section can be accessed by navigating to the ‘Menus’ tab on the left hand side of the layout designer screen.
