💲 Where can I add prices?

1

Write your menu and click on the list icon next to each menu item. 

2

Scroll down and enter the price of your dishes, sections, beverages and wines

The prices you enter in the Dish tab are automatically saved by the software and retrieved at the next use. If the prices of your dishes change frequently and you do not want the software to save the information automatically, enter the price information in the Other tab.

💲💲 How can I add price variants?

You can add price variants (e.g. for different serving sizes) from the Write screen by clicking on "add price variants" and entering the desired price and the name of the variant.

💾 Will the prices I enter be applied to all my menus?

The prices you write in the ' Dish' tab (or the 'Beverage' and 'Wine' tabs) will be automatically saved and retrieved by the software each time you use the same item (dish, drink, wine) in other menus. To make sure that the software does not automatically save prices and price variants, enter them in the "Other" tab in the right-hand sidebar.

💶 How do I change the price format?

With Menutech you can choose various formats for displaying prices on your menu:

  • Standard (€10.50)
  • Formal (€10.50)
  • Short (€10.5)
  • Minimal (10.5)
1
Go to the Style screen
2
Click on Dishes, Beverages, Wines > Prices, checkboxes
3
Choose your favorite format and apply it to your menu prices
To show the currency symbol after prices, activate the option " Currecy symbol after digit".

💷 How do I change the currency of my menu?

To change the currency of a menu, go to the Write screen and click on "Menu settings" in the right-hand sidebar. Once you have selected the desired currency, it will only be applied to the menu you are working on.

Alternatively, change the currency of your Menutech account from Settings > Account > Currency for your menus.

👁️ How can I hide prices?

To hide the prices of sections and menu lines (dishes, beverages, wines) simply deactivate the options " Show section prices" and/or "Show product prices" inside the Style screen > Dishes, Beverages, Wines.

📌 How do I change the position of price variants?

You can decide whether to show your price variants in the same row or in the same column. To do this, go to the Style screen, click on "Dishes, beverages, wines" and then on "Prices, checkboxes". There you can deactivate (or activate) the option "Each price variant on its own line".

☑️ How can I replace prices with checkboxes?

You can add checkboxes to your choice menus (e.g. room service menus). Here's how to do it: go to the Style screen, click on Dishes, Beverages, Wines > Prices, boxes and activate the button "Show checkboxes". You can also change the colour of your boxes by clicking on Text and colours.
