- From the main navigation menu, select Menu management > Menu.

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.
- Log in to your Back Office with your Lightspeed Restaurant credentials.
- From the main navigation menu, select Menu management > Menu.
- Click the name of the menu to delete.
- Change to the Device status tab to view the configurations your menu is linked to.
- Click Unlink configuration and select a configuration to unlink it from the menu.
- In the Unlink configuration window, select a replacing menu from the drop-down menu.
- Click Confirm.
- Click Delete under the menu’s name.
- Click Delete to confirm the removal of the menu.
