Menu Manager Guide
What is the Menu Manager?
The Menu Manager from Tyro Connect is a central tool for managing your online menu. It has been developed to reduce the day-to-day hassle of looking after your online menus.
With Menu Manager, you simply maintain a single version of your menu and we take care of sharing it with all of your food ordering partners automatically.

Modifiers - create options for your customers
To create options for your menu for the customer to choose, you need to have ‘Modifiers’. These are managed in the ‘Modifier Groups’ tab.
Modifier groups
See the video here for a step-by-step guide on how to create modifiers
- Click ‘+ Add’ AFTER you create your new modifier to save the item. Otherwise your modifier will not save.
- Click ‘Save modifier group’ at the bottom to save all changes.
- ‘Select at least’ - this is the minimum amount a customer can select. Or you can leave this as ‘No limit’.
- ‘Select at most’ - this is the maximum amount a customer can select. Ensure the amount is not more than the available options.

Adding a modifier group into the menu -
- From the main ‘Menu’ page click ‘Edit section’.
- A pop up will appear – scroll down to ‘Apply modifiers to items in this section’ to add/delete modifiers for that section.
- Applying a modifier to an item – click ‘Edit’ under the item you want to add the modifier to.

The modifiers you selected in step 2 above will show on the right.
Click ‘Select all’ to apply all modifiers to the menu item for the customer to choose from. Or select the individual modifiers you want the customer to see.
Re-ordering content
Now that you've finished your menu, it's time to polish it up. A very common task will be to re-order the content in your menu.
Through a simple 'drag and drop' interface you are able to re-order everything in your menu to suit your needs.
