Menu Item Matrix
The Menu Item Matrix provides a comprehensive overview of all menu items, allowing for efficient updates and edits.
The matrix breaks down the following details for each menu item:
Name: The name of the menu item as seen by customers.
Price: The item’s current price.
Category: The category assigned to the item (e.g., Appetizers, Pizzas, Beverages).
Availability: Indicates whether the item is currently available for ordering.
Print Routing: This specifies the designated printer or station for preparing the item (e.g., kitchen, pizza, bar, etc.).
Stock dropdown: Indicates whether the item is in stock or temporarily unavailable. You can mark an item as out of stock for 12 hours, 24 hours, or indefinitely—ideal for seasonal items or those with an uncertain return date. If the item has multiple types, you can adjust the availability for specific types while keeping others available for ordering.
Search and Filter Tools
The interface includes search and filtering options to locate items based on Name, Category, Availability, etc.
+ Create Item
The + Create Item button on the top left corner of the Menu page opens the New Item page. Here, you can add detailed information for a new menu item. Here’s what you can manage on the New Item page:
Item Details: Add the item name (e.g., “Cheese Pizza”), description, and photo. Choose a category from the existing categories created on the Categories page. You can also specify a kitchen name, which is used to identify the item in the prep stations (Slice Register Users Only). Including an image can enhance sales; ensure it follows the format, size, and copyright guidelines.
Options: Use the Feature this item check box to highlight up to five items on your Slice app profile to showcase popular or featured dishes. You can also specify availability options to determine if the item is available online, on the Slice Register, or both (for Slice Register users only).
Register Printing: Select the prep station where you would like this menu item printed: customer receipt, kitchen, pizza, etc. You can select zero printers for items like bottled soda that customers choose for themselves. (Slice Register Users Only)
Type and Price: Enter at least one type and price for the item (e.g., “Small - $5.00”). Even if there’s only one option, you must define a type for the item.
Customizations: You can attach existing customization categories to new items.
Customizations (expanded): If the item has multiple types, customizations can be type-based. The “Choose Toppings” customization category also allows for a half-topping option.
