Configuring Areas: Menus Tab in NX Restaurant Portal

The Menus tab in Area configuration allows operators to control which menu sets are visible and active within a specific area of the restaurant. By assigning optional time-based availability, this setup ensures the right menus appear at the right times and in the right places.

This is a powerful way to tailor the POS experience for dine-in, bar, to-go, and other service workflows.

What Are Menu Sets?

A menu set is a collection of related menus grouped together for operational use. For example:

• A Lunch menu set might include:
  • Sandwiches
  • Sides
  • Lunch Specials
• A Pizza menu set might include:
  • Pizzas
  • Salads
  • Combos

Menu sets make it easier to organize and manage how menus are assigned and displayed in the POS.

Configuring Menu Sets in an Area

To assign menu sets to an area:

• Go to Configuration → Areas
• Select an existing area or create a new one
• Click the Menus tab
• You’ll see a list of configured Menu Set / Time Range pairs.

Menu Set

Select a menu set from the dropdown. This determines the group of menus made available in the area.

Time Range

Assign a time range that defines when the menu set will be active in this area. Time ranges may include:

Always Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Happy Hour, Late Night, etc.

✅ You can create custom time ranges in the Configuration > Time Ranges section.

Adding or Removing Menu Sets

Click the purple + button to add a new menu set entry. Use the X icon to remove a menu set from the area. Drag-and-drop the handle icon to reorder sets if needed (where applicable).

✅ You can assign multiple menu sets with overlapping or distinct time ranges to create a seamless transition throughout the day.
