How to create different menus: one for dining, one for take-away and another for home delivery?

If your restaurant has different menus based on the type of delivery, you can configure them all on Octotable in a few steps.

Let's create the take away menu.

1. Create the categories of the Takeaway menu

Access the Digital Menu > Categories and dishes and create the TAKE AWAY STARTERS category which will be different from the ROOM STARTERS.

Enter on the left a name visible only to you and your staff and on the right if you want you can put a different one for your site (if you leave the field empty you will see the name entered on the left).

Immediately below from the drop-down menu select only TAKE-AWAY among the available booking methods, as you can see here 👇.


Do the same for all the other categories, main courses, side dishes, desserts etc.

You will get a list like this 👇.

 

Click on the orange button to change the order of the categories and see everything clearer.
The orange icon tells you the type of booking for that category.

2. Create dishes for the new Takeaway category

Now click on the blue button next to each "takeaway" category and create the dishes (you can internally rename them with the takeaway name to distinguish them from the others and choose a public name that does not show this wording)

3. Create the Takeaway menu

Access the Digital Menu > My menus section and click on [+Add]

Rename your menu, in this example we can put "Takeaway Menu", and complete the information you find on the page.

Then from the Categories/Dishes section we select only the categories renamed TAKE AWAY as you see in the image 👇

Do not forget that this menu has its own QR code which will be different from that of the dining room menu. You can always find it on the menu page from Digital Menu> green pencil next to the menu
 
🌟 Great job! 🌟

Now the customer who books on your site and chooses Takeaway will only see the courses you have selected!
