Some New Features in the Menu Section
The menu section of LetsEat has been overhauled in the recent weeks, and is now quite a bit different than before, especially for LetsEat Pro members.
Menu Groups
Prior to the update yesterday, menus were restricted to one long page. In other words, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Drinks all had to share the same page. With the addition of Menu Groups, that has all changed.
Menu Groups are a category above the Menus that allows your restaurant to create individual pages for each category within your overall menu. For instance, a Menu Group called Lunch might have menu sections within it titled Sandwiches, Salads, Soups, etc.
Every restaurant now has all previous menus assigned to a default Menu Group, and LetsEat Pro users can now add as many Menu Groups as necessary. For your convenience, you can reassign your old menus to new Menu Groups by toggling the dropdown in the Menus ยป Edit page.
Scheduling
LetsEat Pro users now have the option to assign a start and end date to dishes. This could be useful for holiday meals, or other seasonal menu items.
Photos and Facebook
LetsEat Pro users can now attach photos to every menu item. Just as with the recent Events page update, menu items now have a Facebook Like button option, as well as their own page (you can get to it by clicking on their title when you’re looking at your website). Unfortunately, due to the current limitations of the Facebook API, the Facebook Like button option is not available for restaurants that don’t use their own domain name.
There are still a few unpublished features being added to this section of the site, so keep an eye out for some more additions very soon.
