Menu Management Overview
The Menura Menu Management workspace gives you full control over your digital menus , from creation and organization to publishing, importing, translating, and previewing. Access it from Dashboard > Menus.
Key Concepts
| Concept | Description |
| Menu | The top-level container. Has a title, description, status (draft or live), and an associated template for visual branding. Each branch can have one menu. |
| Category | Groups menu items (e.g. "Starters", "Mains", "Desserts"). Supports drag-and-drop reordering, toggling visibility, and assignment to collections. |
| Collection | Groups categories together for different occasions or meal periods (e.g. "Breakfast", "Lunch", "Dinner"). Only one collection is active at a time on the public menu. |
| Menu Item | An individual sellable item. Includes title, description, price, image, availability, dietary info, tags, option groups, nutritional info, and display order. |
| Option Group | Modifiers for menu items , radio (single-select) or multi-select with optional price deltas. |
| Template | Visual theme that controls the look and feel of the public-facing menu. |
| Chain | Links a branch's menu to another branch's menu so content edits propagate across locations, with per-branch price overrides. |
Menu Statuses
- Draft: The menu is being edited and is not visible on the public menu URL (
/m/[slug]). Only the preview (/preview/[slug]) can render it. - Live: The menu is published and visible to customers at the public URL.
Accessing the Menu Editor
- Go to Dashboard > Menus (
/dashboard/menus). - The page will automatically redirect to the editor for the currently active branch's menu:
/dashboard/menus/manage/[id]. - If the branch has no menu yet, you will be prompted to create one.
Menu Editor Tabs
The menu editor (/dashboard/menus/manage/[id]) is organized into four workspace tabs:
| Tab | Description |
| Menu Items | Add, edit, reorder, and manage all menu items. Filter by category, availability, or search. Supports list, grid, and card views. |
| Import | Bulk-import items from CSV or Excel files with auto-detection of source provider (Square, Toast, Clover, Lightspeed, generic), column mapping, preview, and rollback. |
| Chain | Link this branch's menu to another branch's menu for shared content with price overrides. |
| Preview | Live iframe-based preview of the menu with desktop, tablet, and mobile viewport presets. |
