I need help figuring out the best way to handle a weird and specific issue that's come up for my restaurant. We have a membership, that grants access to a "secret" menu item for a certain group of customers. Currently, we have that item set up but not publishing to online ordering, and send a direct link to our secret group each month. Here are the issues that have arisen:
1. The item type is showing as a "shipment," even though I have all item shipping turned off.
2. It can be ordered at any time of day, even when the restaurant is closed.
3. It does not have a pickup time associated with it.
4. Customers who order using the direct item link can't add any other items to their order.
What is the best solution to this? I was kind of thinking that we need an entirely separate menu, that's just for our "Secret" members, which would include the hidden menu item, and is available only via a link. This would make their order process look much more normal. But is this the best way to do this? And how can I create a second menu that's only visible to "secret" members?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
