Click Create

Step 2: Add the location to the tier

In the Tier pop-up window, under Assign Location, use the search bar to designate the location(s) to attach to the tier.

Step 3: Choose which items to include on the menu

Select the Show On Menu option for each item you want to include

Note: If the option is currently set to "no," you will see all the available items that can be added to the menu. When set to "yes", these items are what you want to include on the menu.

Step 4: Update the pricing for the items on the menu. There are two ways to do this:

Option 1: Click the pencil icon next to each item and enter the price, then click off of it to save the changes
Option 2(recommended method): Click the Download button while on the Price Tier tab. Use the excel to update the prices in the file, save the file, and then upload it back to the system
- The price cells must be set to Text(highlight cells and use the drop-down in the Number panel). Also, ensure that additional sheets within the Excel have been removed.

You will receive an email confirming the updated prices and they will be reflected on the Price Tier page.

Copy Price Tier

Use the Copy Tier button to duplicate an already established Price Tier. This reduces some of the legwork necessary for setting up the tier while still allowing a location menu flexibility.

Edit/Update Item Prices

As mentioned in Step 4, using the Price Tier Excel or pencil icon, users can easily mass edit items or singular item edits on their menu.

Simply download the Price Tier with the items you need to change, and make your adjustments in the price column. Save the Excel then upload it on the Price Tier page.

By following these steps, you can effectively manage the pricing of the products on your menu. It is important to regularly review and update the prices to account for any changes in the cost of ingredients or other factors that may affect the price of the items being sold.
