      • Section Description
      • Item Title

  • Accent Text Colour
    • This colour controls the title of items contained in an item gallery
  • Image Styling

READY-1369. Item Galleries

Item Galleries brings a whole new way of showcasing your items on your mobile ordering menu.  With item galleries we list items in larger cards to bring more attention to items and offers a new horizontal scrolling behaviour.  All galleries can have up to 5 items/item groups associated to it, and all items/item groups within the gallery must have images assigned to them in order for the item to be visible to guests.

For information regarding configuring item galleries, please refer to the Menu Builder user documentation.

With item galleries, we offer galleries at three different levels of the ordering menu:

  1. Location-Level
    1. Location-level galleries are placed alongside your menus
    2. Location-level galleries can be re-arranged amongst your menus
    3. You can have any number of location-level galleries
  2. Menu-Level
    1. Menu-level galleries are placed within a specific menu
    2. Menu-level galleries are placed at the top of your Menu, above the sections
    3. Menus support one gallery per menu
  3. Section-Level
    1. Section-level galleries are placed within a specific section
    2. Section-level galleries are placed at the top of the section, above the section items
    3. Sections support on gallery per section

In the example below, all three levels of item galleries are displayed.  The New + Popular gallery is a location-level item gallery, the Hot Sellers item gallery is a menu-level item gallery, and within the Beer + Wine section, a section-level item gallery showcasing Bottle Beer is present.

READY-1379. Table-Level Order Type Configuration

For restaurants that configure order types to direct tickets to different printers, we are introducing the capability to set the order type per-table to give the flexibility of setting the order type per table (currently order types are set at the location level) to ensure orders created direct the the appropriate printers.

Order Types are available for locations using the following Point-of-Sale systems:

  • Par Brink
  • Micros
  • POSitouch

In the Location Settings page, a new POS Order Type field is now available.  Tables will use the order type assigned to the location by default.  To change the order type for a specific table, a drop-down will be available to list your POS Order Types to select from.

READY-1759. Collapsing Header & Navigation

We've made some adjustments to our header and navigation area.  When guests being to scroll down through a mobile ordering menu, we will collapse a few header and navigation components to give guests the maximum amount of screen real estate to browse the menu.  When scrolling down, the following components will be collapsed:

  • Location banner image
  • Order/Pay tab row (for locations using a combination of Order to Table and Pay at Table)

When guests start to scroll back up, the Order/Pay tab will reveal itself, and the location banner image will re-appear once scrolled back to the top of the page.

READY-1791. Prevent use of duplicate modifiers for forced modifiers

This update prevents users from adding a duplicate modifier as a forced modifier for an item.

READY-1842-1844. Read Only Menus

For locations looking to make their mobile ordering menu read-only (guests cannot order from the menu), an entire location's mobile ordering menu can now be marked as read-only.  Guests viewing a mobile ordering menu for a location with read-only menus enabled will still be able to see and interact with the mobile ordering menu, however will not see any options for adding items to the order cart.

Locations can enable read-only menus by going into the Menu Builder in Dashboard and accessing the new Advanced Settings menu and toggling the Make menus read only setting.

READY-1867. Remove Modifiers Section from Modifier Details Screen
