Alphabetize Menu

Butcherandbar — Tue, 26 Mar 2024 18:37:40 GMT

Since the new update I'm not able to locate the "alphabetize" menu button. Has it been removed, or am I missing something? Until the recent major update, I had the option of using the origin al method of editing menus. Now I have no; choice but to use the updated version. It seems the updated version lost the option to alphabetize.

Thanks.

Can you tell me where this option was originally located? I want to check if it has been removed.

last time I checked, the button is still there if you are talking about “menu group”. All you need to do is click on the “advanced property” to access the legacy menu editing UI.

I'm talking about where you edit the items on the menu. My bottled beer list, for example. There used to be an alphabetized button at the bottom of the same page where I could add and delete items. It's not there anymore.

It was at the bottom of any menu where I added, removed, or modified menu items. For example, my bottle/can beer list. It's not there anymore.

You are referring to these buttons right?

You will need to click on "Advanced Settings" to access the legacy UI.

OK. But why donI have to go back to legacy when they are forcing me to use the new version?

You can get right to the old one by choosing edit menus instead of menu builder. It's been this way for a while though, are you seeing something different than this?

I guess the issue is the new UI still gets loaded up after clicking a menu even if you click the "edit menus". It can be a bit annoying because it takes an extra step to access the options you need if you are already accustomed to the legacy UI.

I have not had this issue yet, if I go to edit menus I stay in the old menu editor, possible we are on different versions of the website though.

I have always used "Edit Menus" and still do. But after the latest update, it takes me to the new version instead of the Legacy version. I've tried clicking everywhere menu-related and can't find the Legacy versions. That said, I'm fine with the new version--I just want my "alphabetize" button back.

That's exactly it. I actually like the new UI as it makes some steps a lot easier (e.g., to remove items or change pricing, you don't have to go in to edit mode first). But they took away my "alphabetize" button!!

Do you know if there is a place to submit change requests? I'm guessing this is probably an easy fix that maybe no one at Toast has realized needs fixing.

You can probably send your feedback to this email, search-navigation@toasttab.com. That's the team responsible for the new UI that l I sent my question to. Sometimes they get back to you really quick. I just noticed Toast pushed a new update on the UI yesterday. Hopefully, they will add the "alphabetize" button back in the next update.
