Configure Menu Tag Groups and Tags

A menu is a collection of menu items. Use a menu tag to associate a Simphony Essentials menu item with an online ordering menu. Each online ordering provider must have a unique menu tag in Simphony Essentials. Only the menu items with these tags are visible in the online ordering application.

Simphony retains all tag activity (including add, edit, and delete) for use in auditing.
