Managing Menus

Every menu in storekit belongs to one store. This page explains where menus are listed, how to replace the menu a store uses, and how archiving works.

​

Menus are per store

A menu is created for a single store and stays attached to it. You cannot point a second store at a menu built for another store, and a store cannot select a menu from a list of existing menus.

​

Where menus are listed

Go to Menus in the left-hand navigation. Each card shows:

• The menu name, with an Archived or Inactive label where it applies
• The store the menu belongs to, on the line directly underneath the menu name
• How many items and categories it has, when it was last synced (POS menus) and when it was created
• Edit to open the menu builder

Use Search menus… at the top of the page to filter by menu name. You can also see a store’s menus on the Stores page: each store card lists its menus, with an Edit link next to each one.

​

Show archived menus

Archived menus are hidden from the Menus list. If the account has any, a Show archived menus link appears at the bottom of the list — click it to include them. Archived menus stay greyed out and carry an Archived label. If you see no such link, there are no archived menus to show.

​

Replacing the menu on a store

The page that asks how you want to build your menu (Now, let’s setup your menu, with the Automatic Upload, Enter Manually and Spreadsheet Import options) is only reachable while the store has no menu. On the Stores page, the Create a menu link appears on a store card only when that store has no menus. This is why you cannot get back to the import options once a menu exists — even if that menu is the empty one created by Enter Manually. To start again:

​

Menu-level settings

Some settings belong to the menu rather than to a product or a store. Open them from Menus → Edit → Settings, which slides in the Menu Settings panel:

• Name — the menu name shown in the dashboard
• Unavailable Product Options — whether unavailable items are Disable (Visible but greyed out, the default) or Hide (Completely removed) on your ordering page. See Availability & Snoozing
• Image — an optional image for the menu
• Archive / Un-archive Menu — see below

Click Save changes to apply the name, unavailable product option and image.

​

Archiving and un-archiving a menu

1. Go to Menus and click Edit on the menu
2. Click Settings
3. At the bottom of the panel, click the Archive Menu button
4. Confirm the prompt

Archiving removes the menu from the active list — it does not delete it. To bring it back, show archived menus, open the menu, click Settings and click the Un-archive Menu button.

​

Check the store before you build

After creating a menu, confirm the store name shown under the menu name on the Menus list is the store you meant. Adding a lot of items to a menu attached to the wrong store means rebuilding them.

​

Bulk-Editing a Menu in Grid View

Grid View shows a whole menu as a spreadsheet, one row per product, so you can change the same field on many products without opening each product panel. It is the fastest way to update Tax Rate % across a menu — for example when VAT rates change or when the wrong rate was applied on import. To open it, go to Menus → Edit on the menu, click the More actions button at the top of the menu builder and choose Grid View. Click a cell to edit it in place. Each change is saved to the product as soon as you leave the cell — you will see Product updated successfully confirm each save, and there is no separate save step. Product columns: Expand a product row to edit its modifier groups (Name, Description, Min Selection, Max Selection, PLU, POS ID, Print as Items) and, under each group, its options (Name, Price, POS ID, Course, PLU, Available, Popular, Track Inventory, Inventory, Ingredients, Image). The CSV import has no tax-rate column, so re-importing a spreadsheet is not a way to change tax rates in bulk — use Grid View, or edit each product’s Tax Rate in its product settings.
