Complete Guide to Menu Management in PurpleHere POS
Managing your restaurant menu efficiently is the foundation of a successful operation. PurpleHere POS provides a comprehensive menu management system that makes it easy to organize, update, and optimize your offerings.
Categories and Organization
Group your menu items into categories like Appetizers, Main Dishes, Beverages, and Desserts. Each category can have its own emoji icon for quick visual identification. You can reorder categories and items to match your physical menu layout.
Menu Item Details
Each menu item includes a name, description, price, and product code. You can add images, mark items as sold out, or set them as inactive without deleting them. The duplicate feature lets you quickly create variations of existing items.
Option Groups and Modifiers
Create option groups like "Size" (Small, Medium, Large) or "Add-ons" (Extra Cheese, Bacon) and attach them to menu items. Options can be required or optional, and support single or multiple selections with individual pricing.
Set Menus and Combos
Build set menus by combining existing items with specific quantities. This is perfect for lunch combos, family meals, or promotional bundles. Set menu pricing can be different from individual item totals, offering value to customers.
Recipe Linking
Link menu items to recipes to track ingredient costs automatically. This gives you real-time cost analysis so you know your profit margin on every dish.
