"Menu" function is a type of menu that changes based on the time of day or the day of the week. This approach allows restaurants to offer different dishes and dining experiences that cater to various customer preferences and habits throughout the day.
The OrderPin POS System supports the dynamic configuration of menus based on specific times of the day, ensuring that changes are seamlessly reflected across various platforms. This includes the POS Menu, QR Menu, Mini Program Menu, and Kiosk Menu.
How to add "Menu" ?

- Log in the Back Office with your OrderPin POS System credentials.
- On the sidebar of the Back Office, select Products > Product Management > Menu.

What is "Multiple Setting"?
- This implies that at any given time, there may be multiple menu settings, necessitating prioritization to determine which menus are displayed.
- When adding a new menu, it is mandatory to select all menus that are to be displayed in the POS system. This ensures that the POS system accurately reflects the full range of available menus for customer orders.
For example, if a restaurant has a breakfast menu that needs to be displayed alongside other menus for customer orders, it is essential to configure the POS system accordingly. The POS system should allow the breakfast menu to be selected along with other menus, enabling customers to order from a comprehensive list of options. If only the breakfast menu is selected, the POS system will exclusively display the breakfast menu, and the other menus will not appear.
Sample:
(i) Roti - 00:00-23:59
(ii) Menu - 12:00-23:59
(i) Arabic - 16:00-23:59
If the "Menu" is configured behind the "Roti", the POS system will prioritize "Roti" over "Menu", resulting in the "Menu" not being displayed in the POS.
To resolve this, the POS system needs to sort and prioritize the "Menu" above the "Roti" to ensure that "Roti" is included in the "Menu" display.
For example，two menu both have the same dishes, but sales by different price:
The "Working food" menu's price will cover the default menu's, and will show $4.00 to the customers.
