Menu Boards
Menu Boards are structured menu content — categories, items, prices, descriptions — that render onto screens through a menu-board widget. Use them for restaurant menus, café boards, drinks lists, or any pricing display where the data is more important than the design.
How to get there: Sidebar → Menu Boards, or /menu-boards.
Page layout
Section titled “Page layout”Folder tree on the left, table on the right. The header has one action: + New Menu Board.
Columns
Section titled “Columns”| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Clickable — opens the menu board’s editor at /menu-boards/[id]. |
| Description | Free-form description, or — (md+). |
| Code | Optional integration code shown in monospace, or — (lg+). |
| Modified | Date last changed, e.g. Apr 12, 2026 (lg+). |
The toolbar provides search by name.
Creating a menu board
Section titled “Creating a menu board”Click + to open New Menu Board. Fields:
- Name (required) — shown in the list and editor.
- Description (optional) — to help identify what the board is for.
- Code (optional) — a unique code used for integrations or internal tracking, e.g. an item-ID prefix.
A help mode toggle in the dialog header toggles inline help text on each field on or off.
Save creates an empty menu board. The categories, items, and prices are added in the editor on the detail page.
The editor (detail page)
Section titled “The editor (detail page)”Clicking the Name (or Open Editor from the row context menu) takes you to the menu board editor. There you build the structure:
- Categories — top-level groupings such as
Starters,Mains,Desserts. - Items — individual menu lines with name, description, allergens, image, and one or more prices.
- Prices — each item can have multiple price points (e.g.
Small / Large,Regular / VIP).
The editor is documented separately from this page.
Folder tree
Section titled “Folder tree”Use the tree to filter the table to one folder. Right-click a folder for Manage Permissions, Create Folder, or Delete Folder. The menu board page does not currently expose a folder field in the create/edit dialog or a row action to move a menu board between folders.
When a folder is deleted that you currently have selected, the filter resets to “all folders”.
Row actions
Section titled “Row actions”Right-click a row for:
| Action | Notes |
|---|---|
| Open Editor | Same as clicking the Name. |
| Edit Details | Opens the create/edit dialog (Name, Description, Code only). |
| Delete | Confirmation dialog; permanent. |
There is no bulk action bar on this page — operations are one menu board at a time.
Putting menu boards on screens
Section titled “Putting menu boards on screens”A menu board is data, not a layout. To display it:
- Build a Layout at your screen’s resolution.
- Add a Menu Board widget to a region.
- Pick this menu board and choose a template (number of columns, category emphasis, image placement).
- Schedule the layout to a display in the usual way.
When you update the menu board, the next player check-in picks up the changes — no need to republish the layout.
Permissions
Section titled “Permissions”- The page appears only when your role includes menu board access.
- Create, edit, and delete buttons appear based on your menu board permissions.
- Folder right-click actions honor folder permissions.
