    This slide is designed to be very flexible with the amount of menu items you have.  When you have too much content, it will 'flow' off the bottom of the slide and not be seen.  If this happens, you should reduce summary content to fit more items in. Examples:
    1. Shorten wording wherever appropriate, IE: from Black Pepper to Pepper
    2. You can also change the setting style of Sub Menu from Horizontal to Vertical
    3. Try moving Summary text within  Additional Info to a Dietary Labels . These features will also give a different look to your menu.

    Tips

    • All fields should be set as 'Text' fields. If you notice missing or inconsistent data, ensure that all fields are formatted as 'Text' or 'General'.
    • Is there a maximum number of menus items?  What will show in screen is dependent on how many items you have overall on any given day. The slide is designed to prevent errors. However, if you include too many menu items with lengthy Titles, Summaries, and multiple Dietary Labels, some content may not display or might be cut off at the bottom of the screen.
    • Use a Slide/spreadsheet per location/brand within your organisation. You will need to create a new Slide and spreadsheet for each variation of menu items or pricing.
    • The slide automatically refreshes every minute to remove items that are no longer available. However, this behaviour is only more useful for spreadsheet items than for web portal items. This is because:
      • When using a Spreadsheet - items will be loaded to the slide, and the slide will use the Day and Timeslot columns to control items' visibility.
      • When using the Vibe Web Portal - the server will control items' visibility via date, time and repeat fields, so only some items will be loaded on the slide at a time. When the player syncs (every 5 minutes) and gets a new update from the server, the player will reload the slide with new items.

    Design

    1. Sub Category Style - Enhance your menu design by changing the style of the sub categories.

    2. Hot Level - This space is also perfect for showcasing the best sellers, must-try items, or seasonal favorites. Upload eye-catching icons that capture the essence of your top dishes, enticing customers to explore and indulge.

    3. Graphic - Personalize your menu with graphics that resonate with your brand identity and compliment your offerings for the day!
