Menus in Lightspeed Restaurant Back Office determine the items that are available to order at the POS.
Menus characterize your business and are essential for customers and POS users. An organized menu structure simplifies user interactions on the POS, resulting in more efficient service.
Assign menus to devices to easily toggle between configurations on the POS giving users the ability to access certain menus at certain times of the day or in certain areas of the establishment. Import menus to add multiple menus with items at once and export menus to save and use the data outside the Back Office.
If you have multiple business locations, quickly share menus with your other business locations.
Menu components
Menus consist of the following components:
- Main screens: Menu categories that sort buttons into groups.
- Buttons: Items, sub-screens (screens within the main screen), discounts, production instructions, transfer operations, account profiles, or web extensions that can be selected on the POS within the main screen.
For example, a menu could be called Dinner Menu, with 6 main screens of Appetizer, Main course, Dessert, Soft drinks, Beer, and Wine. The Wine main screen could contain White Wine and Red Wine sub-screens with all wine items added as buttons.
