📄️ Menu Overview
The Menu module is the core of CulinarySuite. In addition to menu planning tools, the Menu module provides important data for forecasting, inventory management and purchasing.
📄️ Menu Summary
There are multiple ways for which to create menus in CulinarySuite. You can choose from a Concept Menu, Repeat Cycle Menu or Monthly Menu. If you are creating similar menus or you want to upload menu templates, you can utilize our Suggested Menu option to add a preset menu for your locations. This user manual will walk you through how to create, configure, and personalize your menus.
📄️ Add Menu Items Using Advanced Search
Use Advanced Search to find specific ingredients when you need to use, avoid specific allergens, etc.
📄️ Create a Food Bar
Food bars are made to order entrees. For example, a made-to-order sandwich can be made with any assortment of ingredients that are available, however the output is a sandwich entrée. Essentially these are entrees that can be built from a selection of individual ingredients. You will be able to utilize any of the products or recipes that are associated to the food bar (if they are available to your account).
📄️ Create a Concept Menu
A concept menu is a station based format that will display by week. In this format, each row represents a station and each column represents a day. Each page will display a week’s worth of information. If your location was setup to create a concept menu in the location menu setup screen then you can follow the steps below to create one:
