What can be collected, and what cannot

Your takeaway menu is not a second menu. It is your one menu with a tick on each dish saying whether it travels. Untick the soufflé, keep it on the menu, and it simply cannot be ordered for collection.

ONE MENU, ONE TICK PER DISH. The tick is called "can be ordered for pickup" and it is on by default. A dish with the tick off still appears on your menu, marked for guests as in store rather than for collection. Nothing is hidden and nothing is duplicated.

THIS IS WHY IT MATTERS. The old way was two menus that were free to disagree. You raise a price on one, forget the other, and a guest orders at last year's price. With one menu that cannot happen, because there is only one price to raise.

ONE PRICE, WHETHER COLLECTED OR EATEN IN. There is no separate takeaway price. If you want a difference for members that is the member price, which is one percentage off the whole order and is a different control.

SOLD OUT IS NOT DELETED. Mark a dish unavailable and it greys out rather than vanishing, so a regular looking for it can see it exists and is gone today. Deleting it teaches them you stopped doing it.

COOKING TODAY LOOKS AFTER ITSELF. Mark a dish as today's and it is gone tomorrow morning with nothing for anybody to remember. That is the only honest way to run a daily special in a system, because the alternative is last Tuesday's special still on your page in June.

TIMES ARE PER VENUE, NOT PER DISH. Your prep band and your hours cover the whole kitchen. There is no per-dish timing, deliberately: a kitchen does not work that way and a menu pretending it does would be lying to the guest about when their order is ready.

Πώς φαίνεται Your grills travel fine, your seafood pasta does not. You untick the pasta. It stays on your menu, where it belongs, marked in store. Nobody orders it for collection, nobody turns up expecting it, and nobody has to explain anything at the counter.
Καλό να ξέρεις Go through the whole menu once and untick honestly. Every dish you leave ticked that should not be is a bad handover waiting to happen, and the guest blames the food, not the tick.
