Adding a new item to the menu in Aurmenu allows for organizing content, setting prices, and configuring add-ons and combo options according to the required settings. This guide explains the steps for entering items and customizing their details accurately.


✅ Step 1: Accessing the "Add Item" Option

3️⃣ Click "Add New Item" to start entering item details.


✅ Step 2: Entering Basic Item Information

When adding a new item, you will need to fill in some essential details, including:

1- Item Name & Description

  • Enter the item’s name (e.g., "Cappuccino").

  • You can translate the name and description automatically or manually into the customer’s selected language.

2- Uploading an Image Using AI

You can either manually upload an image or generate one using AI, which selects a suitable image based on the item description.



3- Pricing (Original & Discounted Price) and Calories

  • Enter the base price of the item.

  • For discounts, set both the original and discounted prices so the original price appears strikethrough.

  • Add the calorie count for the item to help customers make informed dietary choices.

4- Additional Settings

  • Tax Inclusion: Choose whether the price includes tax or is tax-exempt.

  • Temporarily Disable Item: You can disable the item when needed.

  • "Sold Out" Tag: Use this tag to indicate that the item is currently unavailable.

5- Assigning Category & Display Order

  • Select the category where the item will be listed (e.g., "Hot Drinks" or "Desserts").

  • Set the display order of the item within the menu to ensure it appears in the correct sequence.

6- Special Tags for the Item

Add helpful tags to guide customers in choosing suitable items, such as:
Diabetic-Friendly
Chef’s Special
Vegetarian Option

7- Allergy Warnings

  • Specify ingredients that may cause allergies, such as nuts, gluten, or dairy, to protect customers.

8- Recommended Items

  • You can suggest related items that will appear when the customer views this item.

  • Example: If the item is "Cappuccino," you may recommend "Chocolate Croissant" as a pairing.

9- Preparation Time

  • Set the minimum and maximum time needed for the item to be ready.

✅ Step 3: Customizing Prices with Multiple Options

If your item is available in different sizes or variations, you can set up custom pricing as follows:

Adding Price Options:

  • Create different sizes or portions for the item with separate prices.

  • Example:

    • Small Cappuccino – 15 SAR

    • Large Cappuccino – 20 SAR

  • When price options are added, the base price will not appear, instead, customers will see the available choices.

✅ Step 4: Adding Extras to the Item

You can allow customers to customize their orders by adding extra ingredients or modifications.

✔ Adding Extra Ingredients

  • Example: For coffee, you can offer extra flavors like vanilla, caramel, or hazelnut.

  • Set a minimum and maximum number of add-ons customers can select.

✔ Setting Additional Charges for Add-ons

  • Assign a specific price for each add-on.

  • Customize the available options for customers.

For detailed configuration, refer to the article "How to Link Add-ons to Items."


✅ Step 5: Creating a Combo Item (Multiple Items in One)

If you offer set meals, you can use the Combo Meal Feature, allowing you to group multiple items into a single option at a fixed price.

✔ Example of a Combo Meal

"Burger Meal" – includes a burger+ fries +soft drink for one price.

✔ Set Quantities & Ingredients for Each Combo Component

  • Define the items in the combo and their portions for a seamless customer experience.


✅ Step 6: Saving & Managing the Item

✔ After entering all details, click "Create" to save the item in your menu.
✔ If you want to add more items consecutively, select "Save & Add More."
✔ You can edit the item later from the menu settings if needed.
