D - Show Menu On and Hide Menu On is a great way to show menus for a specific date range. For example you have a Holiday menu that you want to start promoting the first of November. Your menu can show on your software during the date range that you choose.
E - Allow Orders for this menu start on this date and Disallow Orders for this menu after this date will allow you to choose a date range of when that menu item and the menu items that appear under that menu can be placed for orders. For example you may start promoting the Holiday menu on November 1st but the menu items can not be ordered till November 21st. You can choose a date range of when the menu items can be placed for an order.
F - Currently Shown At: This will allow you to choose the location you want the menu to appear in. If this box is not checked of then the menu will NOT appear for employees or customers.
G - Is Shown To Customers: You have 3 options here: Shown to Customers mean customers and employees can see this menu. Hidden from Customers means that only employees can see this menu. Permission Based Menu means that only customers that you have selected in the CRM can view this menu. Employees will be able to view this menu as well.
H - Disallow Delivery orders for this menu if checked off will not allow deliveries for this menu.
I - Hide Display Name if you do not want the display name hidden (letter A) then you can check this box off.
Remember to click Save after making creating your menu.
