5. Menus

Within Cibos, Menus are built from Items (Batch Recipes) and Headings. Menus also support Packages, discrete units of a specific Batch Recipe that are offered at a set price. You can select from multiple completely independent Menus (created in the Menu Management area under Collaboration) using the drop-down box in the top-left corner.

5.1. Items

Menu Items are pulled directly from the Batch Recipes created on the Recipes page. Use the Search function to narrow down a long list of Items.

NOTE: To create a new Item, it must first be built from Raw Materials into a Batch Recipe. Items cannot be created on the Menu page.

Edit Menu Items

1. Hover over the Item of interest and click the Pencil (edit) icon.

2. In the Edit Item window, edit the following information:

   • Name – Must change the name on Batch Recipe itself to change the Item Name

   • Description – The Description is displayed in the Menu, so ensure it accurately describes the Item

   • SKU – Choose a stock keeping unit (SKU) for the Item

   • UPC/GTIN – if you have a UPC/GTIN number for your Item, enter it here

     

3. Click Add Image to add an image of the Menu Item.

4. At the bottom, add the Item to a new Menu by clicking the Plus Icon. Add or Edit pricing information to suit your needs.

   

5. Click Save when you’ve finished making changes.

5.2. Headings

Headings are used to create separation in a Menu, allowing different types of Items or logical groupings to be created.

Create a New Heading

1. Click the Plus icon next to the Headings title.

   

2. On the Add Heading form, choose a Name and a Description for the Heading. Add an Image if desired. Then click Save.

   

Add a Divider

1. Hover over one of the Headings and click the Plus icon to add a new Divider.

   

2. On the Add Divider form, enter the Divider Name and click Save

   

3. This divider can be replaced with another Item if you are having issues dragging and dropping Items without an error. Create the divider and then drag and drop the Item onto the divider.

5.3. Packages
