Editing, duplicating, and deleting menus

Edit, duplicate, or delete a menu after it has been created in the Back Office. This is helpful if a menu changes due to customer demand, a menu is used as a template to create a similar menu, or a menu has to be deleted because it is only offered seasonally.

  3. Click the name of the menu to edit.
  4. Apply the desired changes to the menu, its main screens, or buttons. See the Editing menus settings table below for details on how to make specific changes.

Deleting menus

Delete menus that are no longer offered for sale, such as seasonal menus. Once the menu has been deleted, it cannot be restored.

It is only possible to delete a menu if no configuration (device profile) is using the menu. A menu can have multiple configurations but a configuration can only use one menu.
Unlink the configuration using the menus page from the Back Office. If you unlink the configuration from your menu, you will need to select a replacement menu for the configuration. 

  1. Log in to your Back Office with your Lightspeed Restaurant credentials.
  2. From the main navigation menu, select Menu management > Menu.
  3. Click the name of the menu to delete. 
  4. Change to the Device status tab to view the configurations your menu is linked to.
  5. Click Unlink configuration and select a configuration to unlink it from the menu.Restaurant-BO-Menu-Device-Overview.png

  7. Click Confirm.
  8. Click Delete under the menu’s name.
