This article will go over how to create a permission based menu.   A permission based menu will only allow specific customers to access a certain menu.  This is a great feature to have Whole Sale Menus or specifically designed menus for certain types of customers.  This setting will allow specific clients to place orders online through your CaterZen account for specific menus but will keep the menu hidden from clients that do not have permission to access the menu.


Remember to give the customer access to the menu you will need to give them permission under the CRM tab.   Please see the article on how to give a customer permission to view a menu.
