Menu Settings

Feature Overview

Menu Settings contains general menu-wide configuration options that apply across your entire menu rather than to individual items. This includes default tax behavior, display preferences, and other system-level settings that govern how your menu functions on the POS and in guest-facing ordering interfaces.


Prerequisites / Requirements

  • Your account must have Menu view or edit permissions.
  • A Revenue Center must be active and selected.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. In the left-hand navigation sidebar, click Kitchen Hub.
  2. Under the Other group, click Menu Settings.
  3. Review the available settings on the page. Options may include:
    • Default tax behavior — whether new items are created as taxable or non-taxable by default
    • Display preferences — how items and sections are presented across the POS and ordering interfaces
    • Other restaurant-wide menu configuration options
  4. Update any settings as needed by toggling switches or updating field values.
  5. Click Save to apply all changes.

Common Troubleshooting / FAQs

Q: I updated a Menu Setting but the behavior on the POS has not changed. Some settings require the POS app to be restarted before they take effect. Ask staff to close and reopen the POS application. If the behavior still has not updated, confirm the change was saved by returning to Menu Settings.

Q: I am unsure what a specific setting in Menu Settings does. Each setting is labeled to indicate its function. If a label is not sufficiently descriptive, contact Katalyst support with the name of the setting for clarification before changing it.
