Add Area Day Part Menu to Area Setup

Add Area Day Part Menus to the Online Ordering Area in NorthStar:

Step 1: Log in to ECM

Step 2: Go to Sites > Sites and Groups

Step 3: Edit Site by clicking the pencil icon

Step 4: Click Areas Tab, then click the pencil icon next to the Area that you use for Online Ordering - this will bring up the Edit Area screen

Step 5: Click the Area Day Part Menus Tab, then click the Add Day Part Menu button

Step 6: Select the appropriate Day Part and the Menu that will be used for Online Ordering

Step 7: Click Save

Step 8: Repeat steps 5-7 for each Menu that is used for Online Ordering




Important:

  • For a chain to import menus from NorthStar, we'll first need to have development assign a location as a "Master Restaurant". This location will be responsible for importing the entire chain's menu from NorthStar into a global Lunchbox menu.
