On the Daily menu Number 1 in the image tab you can easily create a daily or weekly menu. The created menu can be copied to other days / weeks, exported to a PDF file and printed, or published directly on your Facebook page. The daily menu can also optionally be displayed on the main screen of Dotypos directly in the cash register. This enables the staff to post it to an order very quickly.

The daily or weekly menu can be displayed on the main screen of Dotypos on the so‑called Recommendation screen. Besides the menu for a specific day, it also displays the best‑selling products.

In the header you can switch to the QR codes page, which is used to display the daily menu of your business on customers’ mobile devices – the so‑called contactless menu. The menu is displayed to customers after they scan the QR code label with their mobile phone.

How to create a daily or weekly menu?

Step 1

Go to the Daily menu Number 1 in the image tab and in the header Number 2 in the image choose whether you are creating a weekly or daily menu. A weekly menu includes the same offer for each day of the week. A daily menu is an offer for a specific selected day / days. If you add products to the weekly menu, they will also be displayed in the daily menu as an offer for the whole week without being limited to a specific day. You can therefore create a menu for each day plus a separate menu that is valid for the entire week and does not change. Select the specific week or day for which you are creating the menu using the calendar Number 3 in the image in the top right corner.

Step 2

For each menu you can use the VIEW Number 4 in the image button in the top right corner to add additional information, such as numbering, courses, description, allergens, or the outlet logo. The fields for description and allergens can be found in the properties of each product. If you have not yet created courses and you enable their display, all products will be shown in the menu as the Main course. We therefore recommend first activating and configuring the courses for products and only then using them here in the menu.

Numbering is displayed only if there is more than one product. For a single product it will not be displayed. Items in the daily and weekly menus are numbered separately. If you use courses and you have them active in the daily / weekly menu as well, the list of dishes will primarily be displayed on the cash register by course as follows:

1.(course) Soups

a.Soup in the weekly menu

b.Soup in the daily menu

2.(course) Main dishes

a.Main dish in the weekly menu

b.Main dish in the daily menu

3.(course) Desserts

a.Dessert in the weekly menu

b.Dessert in the daily menu

Step 3

In section Number 5 in the image you create the actual menu. With the ADD Number 6 in the image button you open a dialog to add existing products or create a new one. Based on the entered characters or numbers, matching products are searched and offered. If you create a new product, it will be added to the menu and also saved to the cash register. By clicking a product in the menu Number 5 in the image you open its properties. Within a day you can change the order of products by grabbing and dragging the icon next to the product Number 7 in the image . Use the bin icon to delete a product from the menu.

Step 4

In section Number 8 in the image (see image above) you can see a continuously generated preview of the menu. When you finish the menu, use the buttons Number 9 in the image in the header to save it to a PDF file in A4 or A5 format and print it, or share the menu on Facebook. For further work with the menu you can copy the text from the PDF file and paste it, for example, into your own document.

You can duplicate the created menu to another day or week, depending on whether it is a daily or weekly menu, using the COPY button in the header Number 10 in the image .
