Menus

The Tapin2 portal now offers a way for venues to fully build out their menus before utilizing them in an event. This new feature will allow venue operators to plan their menus well in advance and allow more time to test and be ready for their big events. Menus can also be assigned to specific Apps (Services) and Event Types, which allows for greater flexibility in how items are made available for ordering throughout the venue.

How to access menus

To access menus, click on Locations & Menus > Menus. 

The Menus Page

*Current sites will notice that their existing menus, formerly associated with their locations, will already show up on the menus page. 

Adding a new menu

To add a new menu, click on the green Add a Menu + button. 

Give the menu a title, then click save.

Editing existing menus

To edit the name of an existing menu, click on the pencil icon on the right side.

Assigning menus to locations

Menus need to be assigned to a location to be active. On the menus page, you can check which location a menu is assigned to by clicking on the numbers in the locations column.
