# Menus: Creating a Menu
New Menu allows you to create a new menu for the location. Clicking on the **+ New Menu** button will present a **New Menu** pop-up which will ask for the following information:
- **Status**: Allows you to identify if a menu is enabled (visible to guests) or disabled (not visible to guests)
- **Menu Name**: Allows you to name the menu which is displayed for guests on their devices
- **Description:** Allows you to provide a description of the menu which will be shown to guests viewing the ordering menu on their devices
- **Scheduling**: Allows you to define a schedule in which a menu is either visible during or not visible during (for more information on creating schedules, please refer to the [**Schedules**](https://help-center.readytopay.com/ready-dashboard#schedules) documentation). This configuration is optional.
Once the Status and Menu Name is defined (plus Scheduling if applying applicable schedules), the new menu can be created by clicking the **Create Menu** button or clicking **Cancel** to back out of creating a new menu. When a new menu is created, you will be brought to the menu details view for the newly created menu. Please refer to the [**Menus: Viewing and Editing Menu Details**](https://help-center.readytopay.com/menus-viewing-and-editing-menu-details?hsLang=en)article for further information on configuring the details of your menu.
