Menu management

• Four ways in

  Start from the menu already on the wall.

  Photograph the menu you run now, drop in your recipe documents, start from 90 days of POS sales, or begin with a blank page. OPPI reads what it is given, and you confirm each item before it counts.

• While you edit

  Change the price, watch the GP move.

  Every item shows its GP against target while you edit, and what still needs you: not costed, no recipe, allergens changed. You see what a change does to the margin before you commit to it.

• Branch and go live

  The next menu, built while this one cooks.

  Branch the live menu and work on the next one while the kitchen cooks from the current one. Before it goes live, OPPI lists what will leave, the recipes not locked and any item with no recipe. Activate it and it replaces the menu it came from.

1. 01

   Start it

   From a photo of a menu, your recipe documents, 90 days of POS sales or a blank page.

2. 02

   Edit with the GP

   Every item carries its GP against target and flags what still needs you.

3. 03

   Branch the live one

   Change a live menu on a branch. Recipes are shared, so a costing fix lands on every menu.

4. 04

   Check and activate

   See what leaves and what is not locked, then activate. The timeline keeps the edition.

Questions.

If I change a recipe, does it change on every menu?

Yes, recipes are shared across menus, so a costing fix lands everywhere. To change a dish for one menu only, fork the recipe for that menu.

Can a menu go live by itself on a set date?

No. You can plan the date the next change is due and the timeline shows it, but nothing goes live until someone activates it.

Does it warn me before items come off the menu?

Yes. Before a menu goes live, OPPI lists the items leaving it, the recipes that are not locked and any item with no recipe.
