Toast Menu Support Process | OS Menu Team

  1. Click to open your Toast Menu Support menu upload
  2. Navigate to the Toast Menu Dashboard
  3. Log in using menu-access@chownow.com email + 1Password credentials
  4. Navigate to the correct location (if you cannot find the location, place menu on "Waiting" and advise the task requestor we do not have proper access for this location yet)
    1. Screen_Shot_2023-07-06_at_9.24.37_AM.png
  5. Determine whether or not this RP is migrated Toast source of truth platform by checking this tracker if this info hasn't been provided by the task requester.
  6. if RP has migrated over or is pending migration, complete this menu keeping the following SUPPORTED features in mind:
    1. Sub-groups (sub-categories): No need to flatten or remove, these will be flattened upon syncing to CN dashboard
    2. Overlapping Menus: We shouldn't combine menus and multiple can be scheduled at the same time.
    3. Nested Mods: Do not flatten nested mods, these should publish seamlessly
    4. Menu Photos: Add menu photos to the menu items in Toast dashboard instead of CN dashboard - these should publish seamlessly
    5. Availability (scheduling hours): Set scheduling hours in Toast, not CN dashboard
    6. Delivery hours: Set delivery hours in Toast, not CN dashboard (if you do not have access to the "Delivery" hour section in Toast, let the requestor know in your Chatter notes)
  7. Those that are not migrated yet, will still have ALL UNSUPPORTED features:
    1. Nested modifiers
    2. Size-based pricing
    3. Duplicate modifier/item names
    4. Sub-Groups (sub-categories)
    5. Overlapping Menus
    6. Time-based Pricing
    7. Sequence Pricing
    8. Negative base price for modifier options
    9. Menu photos
    10. Emojis
  8. Determine whether or not we're creating a whole new menu/items/mods (CN specific menu) OR editing exisiting menus in the Toast dashboard if this hasn't been provided by the task requester.
  9. Once you've made the determination above, click the "Menus" tab on the left hand panel > click "Edit Menus"Screen Shot 2023-07-06 at 9.25.23 AM.png9. Click on the menu(s) the client would like to sync with CN & review it for unsupported features (leverage CN Dashboard & the toast-menu-notifications channel for help here):
