Creating a Menu

You must set up a QwickServe menu. A typical menu contains a categorized list of items that you offer to your customers.

1. Create a menu.
2. Add categories and subcategories to the menu.
3. Specify the menu schedule.
4. Activate the menu.

This section covers only basic tasks sufficient for menu creation. For more details, see Petrosoft Cloud Help > QwickServe > QwickServe Cloud > QwickServe Menus.
