    Menu Visibility – Online vs POS

    Online Order uses your products, but you choose which guests can order online. A product can remain in the register while hidden online.

    Hide a product online:

    1. In admin, open Meny → Produkter → Alla artiklar.
    2. Open the product and select the Online & gäst tab.
    3. Turn off Tillgänglig online.
    4. Select Spara and check the guest menu.

    Choose how the product can be ordered: When the product is available online, choose under Kan beställas via (can be ordered via) which modes show it: Bordsbeställning (QR) (table ordering), Avhämtning (takeaway) and Hemleverans (home delivery). A pub offering all three can, for example, show beer only for table ordering. Guests choosing takeaway or delivery then don't see the beer and can't order it, not even through the AI assistant.

    • At least one mode must be selected. To hide the product completely, turn off Tillgänglig online.
    • A mode the restaurant hasn't enabled in Online Order is marked inte påslaget i Online Order (not enabled). You can still select it in advance.
    • A new product in a product group with alcohol VAT gets Bordsbeställning (QR) as its default. If you tick takeaway or delivery, a warning appears: alcohol generally may not be sold for takeaway or delivery under a serving licence. Low-alcohol beer (folköl) is the exception, so the choice can still be saved.
    • A menu group where no product can be ordered in the chosen mode is not shown to the guest.

    Change several products at once:

    1. Select the products under Meny → Produkter → Alla artiklar. Filtering on a menu group first helps, for example Öl (beer).
    2. Select Redigera (edit).
    3. Tick Online-lägen (online modes), choose the modes and select Tillämpa (apply). Chain products are skipped.

    Open-price products cannot be enabled online because guests must not enter the product price.

    Hide an entire menu group:

    1. Open Meny → Menygrupper.
    2. Edit the group.
    3. Turn off Synlig i online-beställning and save.

    This hides the group and its subgroups online, even if individual products have Tillgänglig online enabled. The group stays in the register. You do not need duplicate menus.

    How the settings differ:

    SettingEffect
    Tillgänglig online / Synlig i online-beställningControls online visibility for a product or menu group.
    Kan beställas viaWhich online modes the product can be ordered in: table ordering, takeaway, home delivery.
    Aktiv on a menu groupOff hides the group and subgroups in the POS, Express and online.
    Archived productLeaves the active menu. Previous sales remain in the history.
    Temporarily sold outMay remain visible as sold out and cannot be ordered normally. This is different from archiving.

    Check after changes: Open or reload the guest menu and check both the product and its group. An already open guest view can show older menu information for a while. Ask guests to check their cart again if a product changes during ordering.

    Time-based pricing is available under Meny → Priser & rabatter. Use the pricing settings for scheduled prices instead of creating manual product duplicates.

    This feature is part of Vendion Online Order.
