Feature Overview

Menu Items is used to create and manage restaurant-style items for the selected store.

Unlike regular catalog items in Item Management, QSR menu items can include a description, menu category, base price, image, active status, and linked modifier groups. Modifier groups allow customers to customize the item during ordering.

Examples of QSR menu items:

  • Cheeseburger
  • Veggie Sandwich
  • Iced Coffee
  • Chicken Rice Bowl
  • Breakfast Combo

Linking Modifier Groups

The Link Modifier Groups section is used to attach customer choice groups to a menu item.

To link a modifier group:

  1. Open the menu item add/edit page.
  2. Go to Link Modifier Groups.
  3. Use Add Modifier Group to select an existing modifier group.
  4. Configure group-level min and max values when more than one option is available.
  5. Configure option-level price, min value, max value, and default selection where needed.
  6. Save the menu item.

Group-Level Settings

Group-level settings control how many options can be selected from a modifier group.

Field Meaning
Group Min Value Minimum number of options required from this group.
Group Max Value Maximum number of options allowed from this group.

Example:

  • For Choose Size, min 1 and max 1 means the customer must choose exactly one size.
  • For Add Toppings, min 0 and max 5 means toppings are optional but no more than five can be selected.

Option-Level Settings

Each option inside a modifier group can have its own settings.

Field Meaning
Price Price adjustment for the option.
Min Value Minimum quantity/selection value for the option.
Max Value Maximum quantity/selection value for the option.
Default Marks the option as selected by default.

Only one option in the same simple group should be marked as the default when the group behaves like a single-choice selection.

Sync Menu Items

Click Sync Menu Items from the Menu Items list to synchronize QSR menu item data for the selected store.

During sync:

  • A loader appears while the sync is running.
  • A success message appears when sync completes.
  • An error message appears if sync fails.

Use sync after creating or updating QSR menu items and modifier assignments.

Import and Export

The current QSR Menu Items page does not provide a visible import or export button.

Use Add for new items and the edit action for updates.

Troubleshooting

Issue What to Check
No menu items are shown Confirm the selected store, clear search/category/status filters, and check QSR permission.
Item cannot be saved Confirm Item Name is filled in and Price is a valid number.
Category is missing Confirm categories are configured for the selected store.
Modifier group does not appear Confirm the modifier group exists for the selected store and is active.
Sync fails Review the error message, confirm the store has a QSR or Both integration, and retry after correcting menu data.
Customer options look wrong Review linked modifier group min/max values, option prices, and default settings.

Best Practices

  • Create modifier groups before creating menu items that need customization.
  • Use simple, customer-friendly item names.
  • Add clear descriptions for items that may need explanation.
  • Keep images updated so partner menus look professional.
  • Use base price for the item and option price for add-ons or upgrades.
  • Review min/max values before syncing to prevent invalid ordering choices.
  • Sync menu items after major menu updates.
