How Do I Update My Menu?

Let's set up your menu for success on the Roaming Hunger platform. Your menu is one of the first things that visitors to your profile see, and it's your main selling point for all vending events.

Building Your Menu, Step By Step

Roaming Hunger menus work like building blocks. By setting up these blocks as a foundation, you can build custom catering packages, which will enable you to apply for catering events. Here's where to get started:

1. Customize Menu Categories

Before creating new menu items, edit your categories to match your menu (Burgers, Ice Cream Flavors, etc.)

2. Add Menu Items

Add menu items to your categories by selecting "Create New Item."

Once your Create New Item window opens, fill in as many spaces as you can.

Tips for Each Field

1. Name: What are you selling? Is it a “Burger” or a “100% Angus Beef Burger?” Is it a “Taco” or an “Asada Street Taco?”
2. Description: Show off your quality ingredients. You might even mention signature or secret sauces. Don’t worry, we won’t give away your secrets.
3. Price: This will not display on your profile or proposals, but it may be used in a later system update.
4. Category: Assign this item to one of the categories you just created.
5. Show on Profile: Toggle this if you want an item to display publicly or remain private.
6. Modifiers: See below.

Modifiers let people know how they can customize their order (e.g. toppings, sauce, etc.).

1. Name: What type of option is this? Toppings? Pick Your Protein? Vegetarian Option?
2. Required Options: Do they have to add anything to complete their order? (e.g. What type of patty? What filling?)
3. Max Options: If only X options can be added to an order, specify here.
4. Additional Option Price: What would it cost to add one more than the max?
5. Options:  List all options, one by one, with any added cost.

If you have multiple modifiers, like a custom burger with custom toppings and custom sauces, select Add Modifier to grow your list. Don't forget to Save when you're done!

PLUS: When you save the menu item, its modifiers will be stored for later use. You'll be able to 

3. Making Changes

Do many of your menu items have the same modifiers? (e.g. protein choice, toppings, milk type) Save time by cloning a menu item:

Reorder Menu Items
