A price per menu
For example, charge £5 for a pint normally and £3 on the happy hour menu. Menu edits preserve that price without changing the base price.
Menu Management
In detail.
How to build a catalogue, turn it into menus and keep every device up to date.
One catalogue, every menu
Build a product once, then place it on as many menus as you need.
One product, many menus
Create a product once for your all-day, bar or brunch menus. Edit its name or photo once. Menu-specific prices stay separate from its base price.
Position per menu
Put a product in a different section or position on each menu. Its position belongs to the menu, not the catalogue record.
Duplicate a menu
Copy a menu with its products, sections and menu prices. The copy keeps its location restrictions and shares the same products. Add its photo separately.
Sections and sub-sections
Group items into sections, with one level of sub-sections beneath. Drag them into the order you want, and that order applies to every menu at once.
Arrange and edit your menus
Drag products and sections into place, then save the menu together.
Drag anything into place
Drag sections and items into order. Move items between sections, including sections that are empty or collapsed.
Edit in the row
Edit names, prices and VAT rates in their rows. Save all the menu changes together.
Warnings for unsaved changes
Save becomes available when you make a change. The header flags unsaved work, with a warning before you leave the page or close the tab.
Conflicting menu edits
Tillable warns you if a colleague changed the menu while you had it open. Their changes are protected, and you can retry your save.
Preview on real hardware
See the saved menu laid out as it will appear on a card machine, an iPad and a till, before anyone serves from it.
Options and modifiers
Build a set of choices once and attach it to everything that needs it.
Priced and pre-selected
Set each group to allow one or several choices. Add prices to individual options and choose a default selection.
Reusable option groups
Share one option group across several products. Edit its choices in one place, and choose which menus offer it on the till.
Through to the kitchen
Selected choices appear beneath the item on kitchen screens and printed tickets. Customers also see them in the online order.
Add options by keyboard
Press Enter in an option row to open the next blank row with the cursor ready. Keep typing to add the rest of the choices.
Attach in bulk
Tick a set of products and attach an option group to all of them at once, rather than opening each product in turn.
Import and update products in bulk
Import your catalogue and update groups of products together.
Import from a spreadsheet
Download the template, fill in one row per product and upload up to 1,000 rows. You see exactly what will be created before anything is committed.
Undo a whole import
Each import keeps its source file and can be undone in one action. Imports reuse matching sections and option groups without overwriting existing products.
Change many at once
Select products to add or remove from a menu. Apply a VAT rate or attach an option group to the whole selection.
Find anything
Search by product name or SKU. Filter by type, price, VAT rate, section or number of options.
Save and add another
Save and add another opens a fresh product form. Create menus, sections, VAT rates or option groups from the same screen.
Review suggested product images
Select up to 40 products to get suggestions for openly licensed photos and brand logos. Approve each image before adding it.
Your menus, across your devices
Save in the back office and your devices pick up changes when their menus refresh.
No device setup
Your tills and card machines can access the account’s menus without pairing or loading each menu separately. Site restrictions still apply.
Picked up on refresh
Devices pick up saved changes on menu refresh. Staff can refresh from the menu screen; opening the app or re-pairing the device also refreshes it.
Keeps selling offline
Each device holds its own copy of the menu, so your staff carry on taking orders if the internet drops. A failed refresh keeps the last good menu rather than emptying the screen.
Switch on the device
Staff move a till or card machine between menus themselves, and the device remembers the choice.
Different menus per site
If you trade from more than one site, a menu can be switched off for the sites it does not belong to.
Hide from a channel
Take a product off one ordering channel without removing it from the others.
Make menu changes with your assistant
Describe a menu change, review each line, then approve it.
Line-by-line approval
See every new product, old price, new price, menu and VAT change on one card. Nothing changes until you press Approve.
Plain English requests
Type "add a Sunday roast for £25" or "put every burger up 50p". The assistant reads your live menu and works out the change.
Check unclear requests
If a request could mean two things, the assistant asks instead of guessing. Answer in the same chat, then check the revised change.
Repricing safeguard
Reprice more than 10 products, cut a price by over half or set one to £0.00 and Approve stays locked until you type APPLY.
Review before approval
Review the assistant’s proposed changes before approving them. Check the products, prices and other details, then untick any changes you do not want.
Next refresh
Approved changes reach each till on its next menu refresh. Approval alone does not change the menu during service.

Separate the product from its place on a menu.
The catalogue holds the product. Each menu decides where it appears and whether to use a different price.
Shared details
A product keeps its name, description, photo and VAT setting across the menus that use it.
Menu prices
Set an ordinary menu price from the product editor. Products sold by drink size have their menu prices in the builder.
A separate shop price
The online shop uses the product’s base price or its online shop price. It does not use a menu price override.
Keep choices with the order.
Attach an option group to one product or several. The chosen options appear with the item on kitchen screens and printed tickets.
Selection rules
Choose single or multiple selections and set a default option. Give each choice a name your staff and customers understand.
Prices and preferences
Use an extra charge for a paid addition. Leave the charge at zero for a choice that keeps the same price.
Menu scope
A shared group can appear on every menu its products use, or only on selected menus on the till.
Give each service its own setup.
Location settings, product channels and menu hours answer different questions. Set each one for the way you sell.
Where the menu belongs
Menu settings choose which sites receive a menu. Copying a menu keeps these location restrictions.
Where the product sells
Product switches cover the till, QR ordering, click and collect, and shop. Online ordering settings choose which menus customers see.
When the menu shows
Set days, times and optional dates for a menu. Tills and card machines need the current app to follow them; QR and collection do not.
Save in the back office. Refresh on the device.
Saving a menu and updating the till are separate steps. A failed refresh leaves the last working menu on the device.
Finish the edit
Save the menu together. If a colleague saved first, review the warning before retrying your changes.
Refresh the menu
Staff can refresh from the menu screen. Opening the app or pairing the device again also refreshes its menus.
Keep the saved copy
Devices retain their last working menu if the connection drops. New changes need a successful refresh to reach them.
From the menu to the order.
Use your products at the till and in QR ordering. Send the ordered items and their choices to the kitchen stations that prepare them.
Questions and answers.
Can one product have different prices on different menus?
Yes. Set a price for each menu, or leave it blank to use the product’s base price. Menu prices remain separate when you edit the product or rearrange a menu. Its section and position can differ too.
When do saved changes reach the till?
On the next menu refresh. Staff can refresh from the menu screen; opening the app or pairing the device again also refreshes it. If a refresh fails, the device keeps its last working menu.
What does duplicating a menu keep?
The copy keeps the sections, product placements, menu prices and location restrictions. It shares the existing products, including their details and option groups. The menu photo is not copied, so add that separately.
Are location settings and channel switches the same thing?
No. Menu settings choose the sites that receive a menu. Product switches choose whether an item appears on the till, QR ordering, click and collect, or shop. Online ordering settings also choose which menus customers see.
Can I check an import and undo it afterwards?
Yes. Preview the menus, products and choices before confirming a spreadsheet import. Existing products are skipped rather than overwritten. Import history lets you undo the products, sections and option groups that import created.
Does the menu assistant make changes by itself?
No. Describe the change, then review its proposal. Check the products and prices, untick changes you do not want and approve when it is right. Approved changes are recorded in History and reach tills on their next menu refresh.
