NOTE: You can only add upsells to the menu that corresponds to the currently selected restaurant group. If you don't, the Checkout button will appear white and not allow you to checkout.

Step 5: In order for sales to be properly configured, you must ensure that you only select menu items that are not a secondary menu option for the brand. The process, from this point, can be continued by using the Creating Upsells article.

FAQ:

  • Can I see reports by brand?
    Reporting by Brand is not currently available and would require additional support from your Customer Success Manager (CSM) to get a report created!

  • Can I reorder restaurant groups?
    This is not available on the dashboard at the moment and requires engineering support!

  • Can upsells be set at the Marketplace level?
    No. Upsells can be cross-brand, but they cannot be set at the Marketplace level. Upsells have to be set on each individual brand level.

Glossary

  • Holiday Hours: A schedule of the restaurant that is set ahead of time for holiday purposes. The effectiveness of this is also until the Set Date only. This overrides the regular hour set in the Operating Hours.
