Menu Builder: Menu Locations & Destinations

Contents

Introduction

Within each menu, a matrix of locations and menu destinations is added to specify where the menu can be made available, and for which platform(s).

Each location and destination combination initially inherits default settings defined against both the Menu Destination for fulfilment and pricing, as well as Core Settings defined within the menu itself for menu availability. These settings can be overridden against individual location and destination combinations as required, as covered later in this article. 

For clarity: 

• The Location is your location within Centegra Plus, e.g. the restaurant, dark kitchen etc. 
• The Destination is the remote sales platform where the menu is sent, e.g. Just Eat, Uber Eats. 

When logged into standard site, you only have visibility of menus associated with that site, and location and destination combinations can be managed only for locations within the site that you're logged into. 

When logged into the Head Office site, full visibility of all menus across all sites is available, and location and destination combinations can be managed for all locations across all sites. 

Assigning Locations & Destinations To The Menu

To assign a new location and destination combination to the menu: 

• Head to Menu Management > Menu Builder.
• Against the relevant menu, select [EDIT].
• Select the Locations And Destinations tab within the menu. 

All location and destination combinations where this menu is already available are listed, displaying the following: 

• Site: The site that the location is assigned to. 
• Location: The location where this menu is available. 
• Destination: The platform where this menu can be published to, for the location shown. 

To add a new location and destination to the menu:

• Select [ADD NEW LOCATIONS & DESTINATIONS].

Within the Create New Locations & Destinations window: 

• Site: Select the site that the location(s) are assign to. 
• Location(s): Select the location(s) that the menu should be available for.  
• Destination(s): Select the platform that menus can be published to for the selected location(s).

Then select [CREATE].  

Each applicable location and destination combination will then be listed within the Sites & Destinations tab of the menu, and overrides can be applied if applicable as covered in the next section.   

Overriding Location & Destination Settings Within The Menu

Override Menu Time Availability

When a location and destination combination is added to a menu, the Menu Default Settings determine the default availability times for the menu. 

This can be overridden for individual location and destination combinations if required:

• Editing the Start Time and/or End Time as required. 
• Removing the Start Time and End Time if the menu is not available on that day. 

Select [SAVE] to save any changes.

Override Times For Multiple Locations Outside Of The Menu

Visibility and management of menu times across multiple menus for all locations and destinations is available within the Menu Timings section. 

Override Fulfilment Type Availability

If required, override the fulfilment availability by selecting the relevant option against the fulfilment type field and then select [SAVE]. 

Override Menu Pricing

When a location and destination combination is added to a menu, the Menu Destination determines the default price levels used for this menu against each fulfilment type (i.e. Pick Up, Delivery...). 

These can be overridden for individual location and destination combinations if required. 

To override the price level assignment: 

• Head to Menu Management > Menu Builder.
• Against the relevant menu, select [EDIT].
• Select the Locations And Destinations tab within the menu.

Locate the relevant location and destination combination row and select [FULFILMENT & PRICING].

The location and destination combination is now removed from the menu. 

Note that if the menu has previously been published to a menu destination for the location and destination combination and is still live on the menu platform, removing the location and destination combination from the menu does not impact on the live menu platform.
