FAQ about the module

Does the guest need to be logged in to view or order from the menu?

No, the menu is visible even without a login. For ordering, an assignment can be made.

Note: If it has been specified in the main menu that the module is only visible to logged-in guests, it can only be viewed by registered users.

Can You differentiate menus by days or target groups?

Yes, via categories such as "lunch menu", "children's menu", etc., and by date.

Can content be translated automatically?

Yes, after entering in German, you can trigger the translation into IT and EN with a click.

How are allergens & classifications managed?

Under Settings > Classifications/Allergens > New Entry, including symbol and description.

Can menus also be exported?

Yes, if menu export is included in the contract, a PDF with individual design can be downloaded.

What happens to old menus?

They can be edited, copied or deleted at any time.

Can multiple menus be deleted at the same time?

Yes, multiple menus can be selected and deleted at once using the multi-selection feature. By confirming via the Delete button, the selected menus are permanently removed from the backend.

Can I create a menu that is not published?

No, that is not possible. Menus are automatically published on the date they are assigned in the system. If you want to prevent a menu from ever being visible to guests, choose a date in the past. This way, it will remain hidden from view.
