Creating menu category

This article describes how to create and manage menu categories. Menu Categories allow you to organize your menus based on type, days available etc.

The menu categories can be internal only (diner does not see them) or for TableCheck online booking page so that the diner can also see them.

 

Setting Up

1. In TableCheck Settings, select Menu under Menus in the left panel.

 

 

2. Click the New Menu Category button at the top right corner.

 

 

a. Internal Menu Category

Internal Menu Categories are for internal sorting and organizational purposes only. They do not appear anywhere for public view, and therefore cannot be seen by diners.

 

1. Toggle Internal under menu category.

 

2. Fill in remaining fields accordingly.

Name The name of the category you would like displayed.
Type An appropriate category type. Eg: Weekend Special, Special Occasion, Vegan, etc. 
Show on Dashboard Disabling this setting will hide all menu items within this category from appearing on your TableCheck Manager Dashboard view.
Hidden (Weblink only)

Enabling this setting will hide all menu items from your TableCheck online booking page, and can only be accessible to diners through a special separate link.

 

3. You are now able to view your internal menu categories as shown below:

On TableCheck Settings

 

On TableCheck Manager

You can view the menu categories on TableCheck Manager when you select orders for a reservation.

 

 

 

b. TableCheck menu category

If you want a menu category to be also displayed on the TableCheck online booking page, simply select TableCheck in step 1. above and fill in the remaining fields accordingly.

 

Now the menu categories in addition to being displayed in TableCheck Manager & Settings, are also displayed to the diners on the TableCheck online page as shown below:
