This Food Ordering feature will let customers access your full menu and order food in your App.


The Food Ordering Tab will add 3 new Tabs:


1. Menu

2. Cart

3. Account



You will find the Food Ordering feature in the Manage Tabs section under the "Monetisation" category.

1. Menu Tab

The Menu tab is used to show your food menu, with full categories and food items.


Using a CSV file

The most time-efficient way to create your menu is to import a CSV file.


Click “Example CSV” to download an example file that you can edit.


Once complete, click Upload CSV to upload it from your desktop.

Manually adding your Menu

To manually add your menu items, you will first need to create your Categories and Subcategories.



Use the small green “+” button next to the Category dropdown. Enter the Category name and click “OK” to add.


 Do the same for the Subcategories if you want to include them.


Add each menu item by choosing the category, and subcategory if necessary and adding a name, price, description and choosing an image from your Image Library or uploading one from your desktop.


Single Options


Single Options will display on a dropdown menu and the user can only select one.


Examples:


- Adding sauce to an item

- Choosing the preferred base type of a pizza


There is no way of making these options compulsory. 


To make options compulsory, add a Multi Option (explained below)


To add a single option, click the “+ Add option” button. Enter an Option Group Name, such as “sauce” or “base”.


Enter the first choice into the “option name” text box.


If there is an additional cost for this option, enter it into the associated box, if not, leave this section blank.


To add this choice, click the small green “+” button. Add the rest of the options the same way.


To delete an option, choose it from the list and click the small red “-” button.



Multi Options

Multi Options can be made compulsory and you are able to give your user the option to add more than one choice. 


You can also set a minimum and maximum for choice, all with individual prices if necessary.


Select the “+ Add multi-select option (checkboxes)” button.


Enter the name for this multi-select and click “OK” to add it.


Add choices within this option by clicking Edit.



If you would like there to be a fixed price for multiple options, select the “Fixed” checkbox and enter your desired price.


If you want to charge extra per choice, leave the “Per choice” box selected. 


This will allow you to add a price per item.


You then need to enter your Selection Limits, such as minimum and maximum number of selections. 


This means the user must have selected at least the minimum and cannot select more than the maximum. 


Leave the section blank for unlimited selection.


Add your choices individually, enter the price per choice then click “+Add Choice”.


Once you’ve added all of your choices, click “Save Changes” to add these options to your menu item.


After editing any item, make sure you click “+ Save Item” before editing your menu any further and some changes may not save.


Repeat this process add the rest of your menu.
