This article proves an overview of how to manage (edit, revise) third party menus and hours for restaurants using Chowly's Printer Solution.
Dejeuner: Your Menu Management Tool A. DEJEUNER OVERVIEWFor Chowly customers using our Printer solution, Dejeuner (day-shuh-NAY) is where all relevant third party menu and hours settings are housed. Chowly's software uses this one source of information (items, prices, hours, modifiers, etc.) and puts it onto all of the third party platforms that your restaurant is connected to.
During your initial onboarding process, one of Chowly's Implementation Reps worked with you to create your third party menu on Dejeuner (made one from scratch, used something you had created before using Chowly, etc.). Today, you can update your menu in a number of different ways by logging in and making changes. The rest of this article outlines how to make changes to your third party menus. B. LOGIN TO DEJEUNER
(1) Go to toos.menu/login and click the "Sign in with Chowly" button.
(2) If you have not logged in before, you will be asked to enter credentials. If you have logged in before, you will be taken to your Dejeuner Homepage. C. VIEW YOUR CURRENT THIRD PARTY MENUS
Click the "View Menu" button to see how your third party menus will appear for customers when ordering on a computer's web browser.
Click the "View QR Code" button to generate a QR code. Scan the QR code (with your phone's camera) to see how your third party menus will appear for customers when ordering on a cell phone. D. PUBLISH MENUS & HOURS TO THIRD PARTIES
After making any adjustments to your menu or hours (add/remove a modifier, 86 an item, change opening time on weekends, etc.), it is important to click both the "Save" and the "Publish" buttons.
The "Save" button will ensure that all changes made on Dejeuner are set and updated. The "Publish" button then sends the most updated version of Dejeuner to connected third party platforms.
