Copying a Menu Category

Updated

Using the copy function in the NX Restaurant Portal you can copy an existing Menu Category to create a new one.

 

Using Copy to Create a New Menu Category

The NX Restaurant portal provides a simple method of creating a new menu category by copying an existing category. Copying in NX Restaurant retains the original menu category’s configurations including title, parent categories, order sources, button color, and more. Since the category details are retained, you can quickly create similar categories without the need for repetitive data entry.

Make sure to modify any differing details when duplicating a menu category. 

To create a new Menu Category from a copy

  1. From the Menu Categories list, choose the category you wish to copy and click the copy icon ().

  2. The copied Menu Category is automatically added to the category list containing the ‘(copy)’ identifier. Click the copied Menu Category.



  3. Update the copied Menu Category field by changing or filling in one or more of the following:
  1. Name: Delete and type a new title for the copied Menu Category.

  2. Parent Categories: If the category differs from the original, choose a parent category from the drop-down menu.

    The parent category must be added to the NX Restaurant portal before assigning to the new menu category. 

Note: Menu category customizations and configurations are not required to complete the guide. 
  1. Default Price Point: If the Default Price is required or differs from the original, use the drop-down menu to select a Default Price Point. For more information, refer to Configuring Price Points.

  2. Display Price: If the price display differs from the original, click the slider to display or hide the default price point.

  3. Order Sources: If the Menu Category should appear in differing platforms from the original, use the drop-down menu to select the platforms in which the copied Menu Category appears.

  4. Default Button Color: If the default button color differs from the original, type the color’s hex code or click the color box to select a color for the copied Menu Category button.

  5. Image: If the Menu Category image differs from the original, click the Image + box to select a custom image to associate with the copied Menu Category.

  6. Description: In the textbox, type a description of the new Menu Category. 

 

  1. Click the Menu Items tab.
