Menu Items

Through this integration, POS menu items are created in, updated in, and removed from GloriaFood.

To make a menu item appear in GloriaFood, the following must be assigned to a menu item definition in the POS software:

  • A menu tag configured to appear in GloriaFood

    • The tag is used to select the items to be available in GloriaFood.

  • A SLU assigned to the GloriaFood SLU Group

    • Within GloriaFood, the value located in the configured SLU slot (1 through 8) is used to categorize the item in GloriaFood.

  • An image assigned to the GloriaFood Image slot

    • Within GloriaFood, the URL entered for the configured Image slot (1 through 10) is used as the image shown on the GloriaFood website.

    • The image dimensions can be 335 x 225 or larger.

    • The image format is JPEG.

    • The maximum file size for an image is 1 MB.

The following rules apply to managing menu items:

  • GloriaFood creates a menu item for each price record assigned to a tagged Menu Item Definition.

  • For menu items with prices exclusively used by GloriaFood (not available on the POS), create a Menu Item Definition with the GloriaFood price and tag it appropriately for GloriaFood to import it. The following table shows an example of a Vanilla Orange Shake that is sold on the POS client for $5.00 and online for $7.00.

  • Each Menu Item Price must have a defined value greater than or equal to 0 (zero). Items without a price will not be imported.

  • When importing a menu from Simphony, the following limits apply in GloriaFood:

    • Menu categories: up to 300

    • Menu items per category: up to 1,500

    • Choices and addons groups: up to 1,000

    • Choices and addons per group: up to 500

  • GloriaFood menu item naming:

    • If a price record is active on All Levels, the GloriaFood menu item name is Menu Item Definition – Name 1.

    • If a price record is active on a specific Level, the GloriaFood menu item name is Menu Item Definition – Name 1 (Price Record Menu Level Name).

    • If a menu item has names defined in multiple languages, the imported name will be the one matching the language configured in the first slot of Property Parameters.

The following table shows examples of POS menu item names, definitions, and prices and how they correspond to GloriaFood names and prices.
