How to Set up Your Core Menu, Limited Time Menu, and Seasonal Menu

Guide to setting up your core, limited time and seasonal menus.

To enable Shefs to showcase a variety of different dishes, we have introduced the concept of a Core Menu, Limited Time Menu and Seasonal Menu

  • Your Core Menu will be composed of dishes you would like to sell year round.

  • Your Limited Time Menu will be dishes you would like to feature for up to 4 weeks. It cannot be dishes that were on your core menu, but you can add them to your core menu after if they do well.

  • Your Seasonal Menu will be any seasonal dishes that are appropriate for the current preset season. Dishes can be reassigned from your core menu during the season or newly submitted seasonal dishes. They can also be added back to your core menu after, but they cannot be added to a different season.

Setting Up Your Core Menu

  • You can follow the steps in this video or follow the instructions below.

  • Start with going to your Menu Page and it will give you a brief overview of your core and variable items.

  • Select your WSS Menu tab up top.

  • Click on "Get Started" on the page, then get started in the popup.

  • Then review the dishes on your core menu and remove any on the earliest possible date if you'd like them to be part of the limited time menu.

  • "Confirm Core Menu"

Once your Core Menu is confirmed, you will be able to select "Get Started" for the Limited Time Specials and Seasonal

Setting Up Your Limited Time Menu and Seasonal Menu

Limited Time Menu

  • If your Limited Time Specials are already fully built (not a draft), you can select "Add from menu".

    • Choose the available dishes from the list you would like to add and select "Next"

    • Set the availability of this limited time dish for up to 4 weeks from start to end, then "Save"

    • Once your Limited Time Special is up, you can remove it from the Limited Time Menu and add it to your Core Menu if you wish to continue to sell it.

Seasonal Menu

  • If your New Seasonal Items are already fully built (not a draft), you can select "Add from menu" and confirm you are adding to the correct season.

    • Choose the available dishes from the list you would like to add and select "Next"

  • If your Seasonal Items are already core menu items.

    • Remove the dish from your core menu

    • Add the dish to your seasonal menu once it's removed from core.

  • If you would like to propose a new dish to be added, then select "Propose New Dish" and follow the flow.

  • Once the Season is over, you can reassign the dish back to your Core Menu and start adding dishes for the following season.
