Set up and manage a Custom Menu

Learn how to create and manage a Custom Menu on the Eats365 POS or on the Merchant Portal.

Custom Menu allows you to group a set of categories into one custom menu. For example, if you want to have a different menu for lunch hour, you can create a Custom Menu that only includes the categories that you want to sell for that period. With Custom Menu, you can easily switch from one type of menu to another. 

In this article, you’ll learn how to create a Custom Menu, as well as, manage existing Custom Menus.
