Purpose

This article will cover the various menu types per device, how to set up your menus/buttons, and further customize your menu display. Menus are used to place product/menu buttons on the kiosk screen, and there are different menu services depending on the device being used.

If you have OrderAhead enabled, you will have additional features you can use to customize your setup and the consumer's flow. Please see ADM - OrderAhead - Menu Setup for more information.

11. After saving a menu, click the Menu tab on the ADM Home page, then select the desired service to see the menus you have created.
    

Creating a Static Menu

Static Menus designate a menu as static so that it can be active all the time, while the day part menus are then the only part to be managed. The Static Menus are treated similarly to menu services in that they are created by location and can be copied across one or more locations in which they can be edited. 

1. Log into ADM.
   
   
2. Click the Menu tab, then select Static Menus.
   
   
3. You can edit an existing Static Menu, copy an existing Static Menu, or create a new Static Menu.
   
   1. Clicking the Menu Name will allow you to edit the existing Static Menu for a location.
      
      
   2. Clicking the Copy button will open a prompt for you to select the location(s) to copy the static menu to and add the copied static menus to the Static Menu List screen (same menu name and same products but able to be edited as needed). 
      
      When adding a product, a check is run against the menu items included in the static menu to be copied and the product list(s) of each location selected. If there is one or more products from the Static Menu found to NOT be extended to the target location, the 3rd prompt shown below will display.
      • If Cancel is tapped, you will return to the Static Menu List screen with no static menus copied. If Yes is tapped, the static menu will copy to each of the locations selected but exclude any products from the static menu for any locations that may not be offering (have product extended) in their product list. See ADM - Add, Edit, or Extend a Product for instructions on extending a product to a location.
        
   3. Clicking the Create New button will allow you to create a new Static Menu for a location. If you are creating a new Static Menu, give the menu a name and add the desired products. The menu name does not have to be unique.
      
4. Be sure to save any changes made.
   
   
5. Once the Static Menu has been created, it must be added to the menu for the appropriate service for a location. See Adding Static Menu Buttons.

Add Products to Menu

Add an Item Button

The Add Item button is for creating a button that links to ONE individual item.

1. Click the Add Item button.
   
   
2. The product database for the location will now display. Click on the item that you want to turn into a button. You may only choose one at a time. 
   
   
   
3. Click Add.
   
   
4. If desired, give the button a name. This name will be visible to the customers on the kiosk screen. If you do not add a name here, it will default to the product name.
   
   
   
5. Click Add.
   
   
6. Your item will now be part of the menu.
   
   
7. Continue to add more Item buttons as needed.
   
   
8. Click Save to keep the item(s) as part of the menu.
   
   NOTE: You will have the option to delete an item from the menu only after you save the menu.
   
   
9. Go to the Location Summary page and click Update Prices and Full sync for the menu to be applied to the kiosk immediately.

Add a Menu Button

A menu button allows you to have multiple items nested under ONE button - such as "Fruit" with "Banana", "Apple", "Orange", etc. nested.

1. Click the Add Menu button.
   
   
2. Give the button a name and add an image if needed. (Images are for ReadyTouch/Dining only.)
   Example: If you are selling different types of fruit, you can title the button "Fruit" and add all your fruit products to this button. A consumer will tap on the Fruit button and see all of the choices.
   
3. Click Add.
   
   
4. The Menu button that you just created will display.
   
   
5. Click Add Products.
   
   
6. The product database for the location you had chosen will display.
   
   
7. Click on all the products that you want to link to this one button. Selected products will be highlighted in blue.
   
   NOTE: There is a limit of 12 products you can add to one Menu button on the V5 MicroMarket, NanoMarket, PicoCooler, PicoCooler Breeze, PicoMarket, and PicoMarket+ but there is no limit to how many products you can add for a ReadyTouch/Dining kiosk.
8. Click Add when you have chosen all of your products.
   
9. Click Save.
   
   
10. Go to the Location Summary page and click Update Prices and Full sync for the menu to be applied to the kiosk immediately.

Add Static Menu Buttons to Menu

Once the Static Menu has been created, it can then be added to a location's service menu. These buttons will show as standard buttons on the consumer end.

1. Click the Menu tab, then select the desired service.
   
   
2. Select the menu where you would like to add static buttons.
   
   
3. Click + Add static menu. 
   
4. This will open a prompt that includes all static menus associated to the location you are creating the menu under. ONLY this location’s static menus will appear in grid. Select one or more static menus from the grid and click Add to add the static menu(s) to your menu service.
   
5. Static Menus are added to menu service and will display the name of the static menu UNEDITABLE and number of products. If you expand all for the Static Menu button, then you will see a read-only
   view of the products associated to the static menu (un-editable from the service menu).
   
6. Save any changes made and run a full sync from Location Summary.

Sorting Buttons in the Menu

1. Click the Menu tab, then select the desired service.
   
   
2. Click the menu that has the product(s) you want to sort.
   
   
3. Click on the menu/item button and drag it up or down depending on where you want it to be displayed in the device's menu. You can also do this for individual products nested within a menu.
4. 
   

Editing Products in the Menu

1. Click the Menu tab, then select the desired service.
   
   
2. Click the menu that has the product(s) you want to edit.
   
   
3. Move the cursor near the price of the item. You will see two options appear when hovering:
   • Delete: Click the trash can icon to remove the product.
   • Edit: The Product Summary screen will display.
     
     NOTE: This will take you away from the Menu. To change pricing at the location level, you will need to scroll to the bottom of the Product Summary page and adjust the Price field for the location.
     
     
4. Save any changes made.
   
   
5. Go to the Location Summary page and click Update Prices. This will fully sync the changes and they will take effect at the kiosk level immediately.

Previewing Your Menu

If you want to see what your menu will look like on the kiosk screen, click Preview at the bottom of the page within the desired menu. This option becomes available after you save the menu.

Menu Types by Device

365Dining, MM6, and ReadyTouch

For 365Dining devices, such as the ReadyTouch and MM6 kiosks, operators can choose to display menu buttons as text or images. The menu button text name or image will display in the menu button bar on the kiosk, as well as on the screen as the heading for that particular section of the menu.

Each menu item must have an image associated with it for image buttons to be visible on the menu. In other words, if one menu item does not have an image, none of the menu items will show image buttons. This prevents buttons from appearing with no image. Until all images have been uploaded, buttons will only display as text.

This feature only applies to main menu items, and does not apply to sub-menus.

Self Service

This would be used in a 365Dining environment. Used to display menu/product buttons on a ReadyTouch device when it is in Self Service mode. This is also the service that controls the menus/products displayed on the 365Pay app/mymarketaccount.net for OrderAhead. All items within a Self Service menu for a location will default to showing on the OrderAhead menu for consumers unless you exclude the item from OrderAhead or hide the entire menu for OrderAhead.

• In an environment where this is used, the consumer would place their order on either the ReadyTouch device on-site or, if using OrderAhead, on the 365Pay app/mymarketaccount.net. Please see ADM - OrderAhead - Menu Setup for more information. 

Cashier Service

This would be used in a 365Dining environment to display menus and sub-menus on a ReadyTouch device when it is in Cashier Service mode.

• In an environment where this is used, the orders and payments would be taken by a cashier on-site, rather than the consumer placing their own order.

Order Service / ReadyOrder

Used to display menu/product buttons on a ReadyTouch device when it is in Order Service mode. Order Service is NOT the same as OrderAhead. Order Service cannot be used with the OrderAhead functionality. This service does NOT control any of the mobile app's display or the consumer's website display.

• In an environment where this is used, the consumer would place their order on the ReadyTouch device on-site. The ReadyTouch would NOT prompt for payment at the time of the order being placed. At the order station, a QR code receipt would print out for the customer. The consumer would take that QR code and pay for the meal at a separate cashier station ran by an employee of the location. The idea of this is to have the consumer place their order on-site, roam the market while they wait for the food to be prepared and grab any add-ons like chips or beverages, then to pay for it all together at the cashier station.
