Overview – Menu Management
Categories and articles
Menu management in Vendion is organized in three levels: menu groups → items → modifier groups. Access it via Menu in admin.
Main tabs:
| Tab | Content |
|---|---|
| Produkter (products) | All items, modifier groups, ingredients and stock as subtabs |
| Menygrupper (menu groups) | The Meny (menu) and Favoriter (favorites) subtabs. Organize main menus, submenus and products under Meny; set the order of the POS Favorites tab under Favoriter |
| Rätter (courses) | Serving courses when available |
| Priser & rabatter (prices & discounts) | Scheduled pricing and discounts |
| Snabbfraser (quick phrases) | Repeated kitchen messages and tab comments |
The hierarchy:
- Main groups (Huvudmeny) – e.g. Food, Drinks, Dessert
- Subgroups (Undermeny) – e.g. Starters, Mains, Salads (under Food)
- Items – e.g. Caesar Salad, Pasta Carbonara
- Modifier groups – e.g. "Choose sauce" with options Béarnaise, Pepper sauce
Menu groups have two levels: main group and subgroup. A main group has either subgroups or items of its own – if it has subgroups, the items live in them. Every item is saved in a menu group, and the group determines where the item appears in the POS and in online ordering. See Create and Manage Menu Groups.
How the menu appears in the POS:
- Main groups are shown as buttons beside the menu (on a phone, in a row at the top), with subgroups in a row above the items
- Items are shown as cards in the grid
- Modifiers and variants appear as a dialog when clicking an item
Tip: Start by creating your menu groups, then items, and finally modifier groups. This makes it easier to link everything together.
This feature is part of Vendion POS.
