The Menu Basics

How to log in to Manage

Here’s how to log into your me&u Manage platform so you can create and update your menu, manage your orders and more.

1. Open a Safari or Chrome web browser on a computer, phone or tablet.
   Note: Manage me&u will not work on Internet Explorer as Internet Explorer is from the olden days
2. Go to: manage.meandu.app
3. Enter your Email Address
4. Type in your password provided by me&u, or click Forgot Password? to reset it.
5. Click Sign In.
   

Your new Menu look:

Click the "Your Menu" tab

You will be presented with multiple subcategories:

• Menu Items (Also known in me&u 1.0 as Products under the old catalogue)
• Modifiers (the same as me&u 1.0 Modifiers)
• Upsells (you can now upsell at the item-level to appear on each product rather than at the cart 😲)
• Price Override Specials (Also known as price lists)
• Daily Specials (An easier way to create specials!)
  

Menu Items:

Within this section, you will first land on a view of your menu's categories, along with their ordering types. From this page, you can edit each category's details, the menu position, update their opening hours block (the times they are available/visible) & more.

For more information about creating & managing Items, please see here

Menu Sections:

Menu sections are what we used to call Categories on me&u 1.0. This new structure means you will have the below set-up

1. Menu Categories
   Example: Breakfast Menu
2. Menu Section (almost a ‘sub’ category within a big category)
   Example: Pancakes & Waffles

3. Menu Items (The individual menu item within this section)

   Example: Blueberry Pancakes

For more information about creating & managing Sections, please see here

Menu Items: You can manually create new menu items by clicking + Create New Menu Item within the relevant section, or import them from your POS via the Bulk Operations page if your POS integration is synced. For step-by-step instructions, see How to add new menu items in the new me&u 2.0 system.

Modifiers:

Use modifiers to present options for your customers to remove, add or change a menu item. For example, you may need to create a milk modifier on your coffee category, allowing customers to choose whether they want low-fat / soy etc.

For more information about creating & managing Modifiers, please see here

Upsells:

This is where you can create/edit upsell groups that are linked to menu items. Upsells prompt customers to add more menu items to their orders. Such as the “Thirsty?” upsell group shown here on all food items.

Note: Upsells are up-selling products or items that already exist within your menu

For more information about creating & managing Upsells, please see here

Price Override Specials:

You will use this category when you want to change the price of a product at a specific time. For example, a happy hour.  If you don’t want an item to appear on the menu all the time and only want it to display on certain days, use Daily specials. Get more info on these two tabs, here.

Note: Note: On me&u 1.0, you would have been familiar with using a ‘pricelist’ and adding it to a service time. Now it's all in 1 place!

Daily Specials:

Daily Specials are used usually when you don't want an item to appear on the menu all the time and instead want it to display on certain days.
