Purpose

This article walks through the Menu Hub feature, which allows for the creation, management, and standardization of menus across different Organizations and Locations in ADM.
 

Limitations

Menu Hub is restricted within ADM limitations for what a single Organization can have. Some final adjustments, such as order limits and defining whether something is cashier service or self-service are still going to be required in ADM.
 

Process

Menu Hub can be logged into with the same credentials used to log into ADM. The different sections of the Menu Hub can be accessed through the icons on the left side of the screen, and are described below.

Manage Menus

Templates

On the left side of the screen, click the Manage Menus dropdown > Templates to reach the menu templates section.

As the name suggests, this is the where to go to create or edit templates. These are not menus that can be sent down to locations, but are a place to start building menu standardization that locations can start from.

Create a Menu Template

To create a menu template:

1. Click the Create Template button in the upper right.
    
2. A popup will appear. Simply type in a name for the template, and click the Create button.
   
3. Once created, it will automatically go to the configuration page for that menu template. Here the template can be split up into both sections and items.
    

4.  Click the + Create Section button to create a section. This will bring up a prompt to name the new section. Once the desired name is in place, click Add to confirm changes.

   
5. Once created, the section will highlight, showing that it is in that section, and an Add Item button will appear.
   
6. Click Add Item. A popup will appear, with checkboxes next to all of the items that can be added. Simply check the desired items to add to that section, then click Ok to add them to that section.
   
7. Once the menu template is set up as desired, click the Save button in the bottom right to save changes.
   

Actions for Existing Menu Templates

Once a menu template has been created, a number of options exist under Actions:

• Click the plus icon to create a menu from that template directly. This allows for the reuse of template, and to build as many menus as desired from it.
   
• Click the copy icon to duplicate a template in the event that some significant changes are desired, but want to use the original template as a starting point. 
   

Menus

On the left side of the screen, click the Manage Menus dropdown > Menus to reach the Menus section.

In the Menu section, click on an existing menu to reach the edit page for that menu. From the edit page, there are a variety of options.
 

To add a section to the menu:

1. Click the + Add Section button near the lower left.
   
2. A popup will appear with applicable section(s) that are not already created. To then add the section(s), check the box next to the desired section(s), then click OK to confirm.
   

To add items to a section:

1. Click the section to add items to on the lefthand column.
   
2. Click the Add Item button towards the upper right.
   
3. A pop up will appear with the applicable items to add. To then add items to that section, check the box next to the desired item(s), then click Ok to confirm.
   

To sync a menu to a template:

1. Click the Sync To Template button.
   
2. A popup will appear, explaining that synchronizing with the template will permanently lose the changes in the menu > Click Sync to confirm.
   

Global Items

Click Global Items on the lefthand side of the screen to reach the Global Items section.

Global Items is the repository of all items across all menus that should ever be needed. Nothing can be included in a menu that is not already created as a Global Item.

Global Items can be created in two ways - manually through the create item dialogue, or by importing from Organizations that are already configured in ADM.
 

To create a Global Item from Menu Hub:

1. Click the Create button in the upper right.
    
2. A popup will appear: 
   1. Input the desired Item Name, Price, and Scancode > Click Create.
      

To Import Items in Menu Hub:

1. Click Import Items in the upper right.
    
2. A popup will appear:
   1. Select the desired Org to import items from > Click Next.
      
   2. Select the desired products to import > Click Next.
      
   3. Confirm the import.
       

Global Modifiers

Modifiers

On the left side of the screen, click the Global Modifiers dropdown > Modifiers to reach the Modifiers section.

Click on a modifier to reach the Customize Item modifier page for it.

Description, Instructions, and Rules

At the top of the page, there is the option to configure out the rules, instructions, as well as a description on the modifier alongside the modifier name.

There is also the option to enable the number of rules. Currently these are the same rules that exist in ADM today, which are whether the modifiers are required selections, and the maximum number of selections the user can make on that specific list.
 

Modifier Types

Click the Modifier Type dropdown to set the modifiers to either Text Based (Values)  or Item Based:

• Item Based: pulls from Global Items.
• Text Based (Values): free text that can be inputted and categorized as desired.
   

Add a Modifier

To add a modifier:

1. Click the + Add Modifier button.
    
2. A popup will appear. Enter in the desired Name, Price, and Calories > Click Save when finished.
   

Mark Modifier as Default

Modifiers can be chosen to be be marked as default using the toggle bars under the Default column.

Associate Modifier with Tabs

Towards the bottom of the page is the Tabs field to select which Tabs to associate the modifier to. 
Tabs are what links modifiers and items together, and are present in the Modifier Tabs section of Menu Hub, as explained below.
 

Modifier Tabs

On the left side of the screen, click the Global Modifiers dropdown > Modifier Tabs to reach the Modifier Tabs section.

Here, there is the option to create and rename modifier tabs. To rename a modifier tab, simply click the desired modifier tab, and a popup will appear with the option to rename it > Click Save when finished.

Modifier tabs can be set for items under the Global Items section of the Menu Hub.

Mapping 

Click Mapping on the lefthand side of the screen to reach the Mapping section.

In the Mapping section, there is the access to add Organizations or Locations. For most applicable Organizations and Locations, they should be pre-added.
 

To add a location:

1. Click the + Add Location button in the upper right.
    
2. A popup will appear with the applicable location(s) to add. Check the box(es) next to the desired location(s) to add, then click Done ✓ to confirm.
   (Recommendation is to add to one location at a time, to ensure it's set up correctly the first time.)
   

Location Mapping Options

Click the applicable location to select it; this will bring up mapping options for that location.

Sync to ADM

Simply click the Sync to ADM button to send it to ADM. 

Please note that if a menu is synced as inactive, it'll have to be manually set up in ADM to be configured as desired. Menus will show whether or not they are in Inactive in the Menu Settings option.
 

Copy Mapping

Copy mapping gives the exact same menu setup to two different locations.
 

To copy mapping:

1. Click the Copy Mapping button.
    
2. A popup will appear. To copy the mapping that's already pre-configured for this location to a second location, simply check the box of the desired location to copy mapping to, and click Next  > when finished. 
   

Menu Settings

Click the Menu Settings button to reach the Menu Settings page. Here, menus will show whether or not they are inactive, and there is the option to preschedule menus. 
 

To preschedule a menu: 

1. Click the desired menu to select it.
    
2. Click the pencil icon next to any of the menu times. 
    
3. A popup will appear to select the days and times; select the desired days and times for the menu, and click Done ✓ when finished.
   

Settings

Print Groups

On the left side of the screen, click the Settings dropdown > Print Groups to reach the Print Groups section.

Print Groups cover the different ways that items can print at the different locations. 

The recommendation is to create all the print groups needed at the various types of locations, ensuring that these can then be shared down to the various locations as needed, and ensure automatic mapping within ADM.
 

Tax Categories

On the left side of the screen, click the Settings dropdown > Tax Categories to reach the Tax Categories section.

Like with print groups, the recommendation is to create all the tax categories needed at the various types of locations, ensuring that these can then be shared down to the various locations as needed, and ensure automatic mapping within ADM.
