When it is time to update your menu with the new dishes or pricing, there are a few steps required for these changes to appear for guests to see. In this guide, we will walk you through these steps and how to publish these changes for your guests to view.


TABLE OF CONTENTS


Step 1: Configuring items in POS

  • Add all items in EMC for the required Revenue Centre(RVC), ensuring the following have been configured:
    • The item should have 'MO' in the 'Third Name' field. (remove any spaces)
    • The item is in the definition level tab
    • The item is set as definition #1
    • The item has a price setup in record #1 at revenue centre level
    • The price is 'active on all levels'
    • The item main level and sub-levels are not set to 00
    • the item main level should have #1 selected
    • The item has a menu item class
  • Include any modifiers for the Dish items, and ensure they are set as 'forced Modifiers'.



Step 2: Request a Sync


This step is not required for Non-Integrated Outlets


A sync is required with your POS for the item changes to appear in GXP:

  1. Navigate to Content Management >FnB Menu in the sidebar of the platform
  2. Select the Menu you wish to update
  3. Select the POS Setup tab
  4. Scroll down to the bottom and click Sync Now
  5. Review the sync status by navigating to the POS Sync Status tab
If you find that you are not authorised to view this page, you will need to request a sync through your designated Corporate support team.


Do not change the settings on this page, as this can remove all items from the menu.


Step 3: Adding new items

        1. Navigate to Content Management > Food & Beverage in the platform's sidebar

        2. Select the Outlet

        3. Then select the Section

        4. Select the Category you wish to add your new items to, e.g. Mains (see below as an example): 

 

        5. Click 'Add Existing Item', and a pop-up box will appear. This is where you can assign the items to the Category

        6. Search for the items you wish to add using the search box highlighted in red below, then click on the item you wish to assign to the category so it transfers into the right-hand column

        7. Click Save to add items to the Category



Tip: Check if the item is set to visible - Making an Item Visible.


Step 4: Hiding/Removing Items

  1. Navigate to Content Management > Food & Beverage 
  2. Select Outlet > Section > Category
  3. Select the Item
  4. Make the item not visible by switching the toggle 'Is Visible' to the left, turning the icon red
  5. Save Changes


Step 5: Price changes

Does not apply to Non-Integrated Outlets - See Updating Prices for Non-Integrated Outlets.


Prices are inherited from the item in POS and will appear as read-only, so they cannot be changed in IRIS. 

To change the price of an item, ensure the price is correct in POS and perform a sync from POS into IRIS (following Step 2 above).

After the sync, the price will automatically update (in draft view) and reflect the price provided by the POS.


Step 6: Publish changes

Making Content Management changes to IRIS are not automatically visible on the Guests-facing web page. To make the changes visible, a Live Version must be created: 
        1. Navigate to Content Management > Versions

        2. Select 'Draft Version' > review the Draft version of the menu    

        3. Finally, create a Live Version: click + Add New Version > tick Make Live > press Create - Versioning a Property
