Feature Request: Rearrange Menus in Square for Restaurants

[Dizrythmia]

Hi,

Is there a way to change the order that the menus appear in Square for Restaurants.

TIA

Hey there, @Dizrythmia, welcome to the Seller Community - nice to see some new faces popping up around the place. 🤗

There are multiple ways you can edit your menu with Square for Restaurants. If you're wanting to edit the way the menu appears on your point of sale screen, you'll want to make changes to your grid layout. There are also options to further customise your menu by editing tiles, display groups and overall layout.

If the above Support Articles don't help to answer your question, please include some additional information in your reply about what you're looking to change and I'll be sure to get back to you.

Hi Laurie,

Thanks for your help, however neither of these help in this case, I want to change the order in the menus appear in the list on the display.

How can I post a photo here?

Thanks,

Brian.

No worries, @Dizrythmia, a screenshot would be super handy if you're able to send one through!

To attach an image, hit the little camera icon (next to the smiley face). I'll take a closer look once I receive your reply, thank you!

I'm with you now, @Dizrythmia, the image was great, thank you!

So, what you're asking is whether you can rearrange the order of your display groups. The answer is yes!

These steps are all completed from your online Square Dashboard, rather than from the app itself. To do this, follow the below steps:

1. From your online Square Dashboard, navigate to Items & Orders, or Item Library > Menus. 

2. On this page, select the ellipses (three dots) in the top-right corner of the page, then select Rearrange Display Groups. 

3. Click and draft display groups to your preferred order, and then hit Save.

You may need to open and close the app on your device after making these changes. Let me know how you go with these steps!

Thanks Laurie,

Thanks for that however that will only change the relevant "display groups" based on what display group you have clicked on, I need one step higher that to change the "menu" order.

Thanks Adrian,

Brian.

Ah, I see, apologies, @Dizrythmia - it's been a while since I've logged into my test account on Square for Restaurants!

In running this by our Restaurants specialist, they have confirmed that there is no way to rearrange the menu order once they have been created. The only way to change the order in which multiple menus are currently displayed is to delete and recreate them.

From what I can see on my own account, it looks like the most recently created menu will populate at the top of the list by default.

Sorry, I wasn't able to offer a better workaround for you on this occasion. The ability to rearrange menu orders would be considered a feature request at this time. I'll go ahead and retitle this thread and move it to the relevant Feature Request board so we can continue to track the feedback we receive for this request with our Product Team.
