Overview

Clearing the Menu Cache refreshes menu data so recent changes appear correctly throughout the system. When making updates to menus, categories, items, pricing, or options, you may also see periodic notifications prompting you to clear your menu cache. These notifications appear as a yellow message box in Menu Manager. You can safely clear the menu cache directly from this message when prompted.

In many cases, changes will appear automatically without clearing the cache. Clearing the menu cache is safe and does not affect existing orders. 

When You Should Clear the Menu Cache

You may need to clear the menu cache if:

• Menu changes are not appearing as expected

• Pricing updates do not show immediately

• New menu items, categories, or options are missing

• You recently made multiple menu-related changes

In many cases, changes will appear automatically without clearing the cache.

How to Clear the Menu Cache

• Go to Admin

• Select Menu Settings

• Click Clear Menu Cache

The cache will refresh immediately.

Important Notes

• Clearing the menu cache does not delete or reset any data

• Existing orders are not affected

• Clearing the cache does not impact reporting

• You do not need to clear the cache after every change

Best Practices

• Clear the menu cache only if changes are not appearing

• If prompted by the system, it is safe to proceed

• Use this as a troubleshooting step before contacting Support

Troubleshooting

If changes still do not appear after clearing the cache:

• Refresh your browser

• Confirm the correct menu or location is selected

• Confirm the item or setting was saved
