This slide is designed to be highly flexible with the number of menu items you include.  If you have excessive content, it will overflow off the bottom of the slide and may not be visible.  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 a general 'Text' fields. If you are having issues with seeing 'patchy' data. Ensure that all fields are set to 'Text' or 'General'.
  • Is there a maximum number of menu items?  What will show in screen is dependent on how many items you have overall on any given day. The slide is designed to not show an error , but if you have too many items that contain lengthy Titles, Summaries and a lot of Dietary labels, you may find that some will not show, or will be cut off 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 will auto-refresh every 1 minute to remove items that are not available in the current time. 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 the menu design by changing the style of your menu sub categories.

  2. Hot Level - This space is also perfect for showcasing your 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!
