Menu Timings: Managing Menu Times

Introduction

The Menu Timings section is where you can see when menus are available for each destination at each location within your company, and apply overrides to adjust those times where required.

Menu Timings are just one aspect of defining the times that a menu are available. For full information on how Menu Times are established when publishing menus, see: What Times Are Used When A Menu Is Published?

Viewing Menu Timings

To view the times that menus are available, in the main menu head to Menu Management > Menu Timings.

You can filter the Menu Timings based on :

• Menus: Select specific menus to see timings for. 
• Group By: Select whether to group menu times in the table by Site, Location or Destination. 

Select [Search] and you'll see a table of menu timings per Location, Menu & Destination instance.

Each day of the week is colour-coded to reflect the availability and override status, where: 

• White (Default): The menu is available and the time is based on the menu default time. 
• Green: The menu is available and a Menu Timing override has been applied to set the times. 
• Orange/Red: The menu is not available, as per the menu default time status. 
• Orange/Black: The menu is not available and a Menu Timing override determines this.

Applying Menu Timing Overrides

There are various options when it comes to overriding menu times: 

• Overriding Individual Days
• Overriding The Entire Week
• Copying Times

Overriding Individual Days

Against individual days within the table you can:

• Change the Start and/or End time that the menu is available on that day. 
• Change the availability status by selecting the three dots against that day.

To remove any overrides, select the three dots and select Revert To Menu Defaults.  

Overriding The Entire Week

Against an entire week within the table, you can select the three dots on that row to: 

• Change the availability status for every day of the week. 
• Remove any overrides for every day of the week using Revert To Menu Defaults.

Copying Times

Against an entire week within the table, you can copy the times and availability status in one row and apply this against other rows. 

To do this: 

• Against the row that you want to copy from, select the three dots on the row then select Copy To.
• Against the rows that you want to copy to, select the checkbox on the row. 
• Once all rows are selected, against the original row select the three dots then select Confirm Copy.
