"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.

Sort Menus
Different sorts will affect how the Schedule is displayed.
The higher the order, the higher the priority of the menu. When there are multiple menus in the same channel, the high-priority menu is effective.
For example, product A has different prices in two different menus;
when menu1 is on top, from 00:00 to 02:00, product A will display the price of menu1;
when menu2 is on top, from 00:00 to 02:00, product A will display the price of menu2.

Navigate to Back Office > Products > Product Management > Menu, click on "Sort".
Pull and drag the menu, and set it as the priority you want. Click "Save".
Then it will change the menu display and its priority.
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.
