To add a new menu item:

  1. Select Catering from the side nav bar.
  2. Click on Menus.
  3. Select Template Structure and then Menu Items.
  4. Click the +Add New Menu Item button in the top right of the screen
  5. The Add Menu Item page then displays, with blank fields for the Menu Item Details:


There are two ways to enter the Menu Item Detail into SoupedUp:


Option one (recommended) - Select type 'Ingredient', then Select an Ingredient from the drop down menu.  The Allergens, Cost and Nutrients will populate automatically from the Ingredient database in SoupedUp.  


Option two - Select type 'Free text' to enter all the details, including Allergens/Dietary Restrictions, Mandatory Nutrients, Price Per Serve and Serve Size.  This is not the recommended method, as it does not utilise all the abilities of the SoupedUp system.


Whether you choose Option one or Option two above, the following details are also required fields for the new menu item:
*Name
*Textures
*Ingredients
*Meal Category

It is also optional to add a Description and an image.


To upload an image, click in the centre of the stock image ('Set Image' will appear when your cursor is in the right spot), then follow the prompts to select an image from your local computer.  Once you have made your selection, crop your image or simply click Save and Close: 



Don't forget to click Save after your image has been uploaded:
