How to add a menu type

A step-by-step guide to adding a menu type through the Grafterr Admin Panel


A menu is a structured list of food or beverage items grouped into categories along with their prices and related information. Menus help businesses organize what they sell and control when specific menus are available - for example, Breakfast Menu, Lunch Menu, Drinks Menu, or Seasonal Specials.

Adding a menu type:

In order to add a menu type through the Grafterr Admin Panel, follow the steps below:

  1. Start by logging in to your Grafterr Admin Panel through the Grafterr website using your credentials. Once logged in, navigate to the left-hand menu, scroll down to the “Menu Management” module, and click on “Menu Configuration.”

  2. Once you open the menu configuration section, you will be able to view all existing menus, categories, items, prices, actions, and deals configured in the system.

  3. To create a new menu type, click on “+ Add Menu” located at the top right corner of the screen. For a quick setup, simply enter the menu name and click on “Add.”

  4. If you want to configure additional settings, click on “Advanced” beside the add option. This will open the advanced menu setup page. Within the advanced settings, you can configure the following details:

    • Menu name

    • Display order number

    • Product code (if applicable)

    • Kitchen assignment

  5. Assigning a menu to a kitchen ensures that whenever items from that menu are ordered, the order is automatically routed to the correct kitchen for preparation. This helps improve kitchen workflow and order management. To assign a kitchen, select the required kitchen name and click on “Add.”

  6. You can also upload an image for the menu to improve visual presentation across ordering platforms. Additionally, you have the option to set a start date and end date for the menu. This is useful for limited-time menus, seasonal offerings, or promotional menus. If you do not want any date restrictions, you can leave these fields empty.

  7. Once all the required details are configured, click on “Add Menu.” The newly created menu type will now be visible in the menu configuration section and ready for further category and item setup.
