šŸ½ļø Understanding the Default and "Other" Tab in Menutech's Write Screen

When creating or editing a menu in Menutech, you have the option to input information for each menu item under the Default tab or the Other tab. Understanding the difference between these tabs ensures that you manage your menu items efficiently and maintain consistency across your account.


Here is how to access both tabs:

  • Log into your Menutech Account and access your menu.

  • Go to the Write Screen

  • Choose the item you wish to edit

  • On the right of the screen, The ''Default'' and ''Other tabs'' will appear, You can edit the item's information there.


šŸ“„ Default Tab šŸ“„


The Default tab is designed to store and update the details of a menu item across your entire Menutech account.

Hereā€™s what happens when you input information in the Default tab:

  • Centralized Information: The details you enter (e.g., description, price, price variants, images) are saved to your account-wide database.
  • Automatic Updates: Whenever you add this menu item to any menu in the future, the system will automatically use the information stored in the Default tab.
  • Consistency: Ensures that the same item will have the same information every time it is used, promoting consistency across all your menus.


šŸ“‹ Other Tab šŸ“‹


The Other tab is intended for menu-specific details. Hereā€™s what happens when you use the Other tab:

  • Local Changes: The details you enter here are only applied to the current menu item you are working on. (even if The item is added again to the menu, it will not use the previously entered information)
  • No Account-Wide Update: Information in the Other tab does not update or affect the account-wide database.
  • Customization: Allows you to make temporary or one-off changes to a menu item without altering the default information saved in your account.

āš™ļø When to Use Each Tab āš™ļø


  • Default Tab: Use this when you want to ensure that the details of a menu item remain consistent across all menus. Ideal for standard menu items that appear frequently with no changes to them.
  • Other Tab: Use this when you need to make specific changes to a menu item for a particular menu. This is useful for seasonal specials, temporary modifications, or event-specific menus.


ā–¶ Example Scenario ā—€


Imagine you have a menu item called "Caesar Salad":

  • In the Default Tab, you enter the standard ingredients, price, and allergen information. This ensures that every time "Caesar Salad" is added to any menu, it has the same standardized details.

  • For a special event, you want to offer a "Caesar Salad" with a different dressing. You can enter the unique details for this version in the Other Tab. This change will only apply to the menu for the special event and will not affect the standardized information stored in the Default tab.
