Create a new menu item

Add an item to your menu so guests can see and order it on your website. You can create one in the Owner Dashboard or the Owner App.

✅ Short on time? Ask Owner Agent to add a menu item for you. Open Ask Owner in your Owner Dashboard or Owner App.


In the Owner Dashboard

Create the item on the Items tab, then add it to a category.

⚠️ Integrated restaurants: On Clover Menu Sync locations, the Create button only appears on the Menus tab, so items, categories, and options must be created in Clover. On Otter locations without open item injection, there is no Create button on any menu tab, so new items must be created in the POS. Square locations and locations without a POS integration are not affected.

Open a new item

  1. Click Menu in the left-hand navigation.

  2. Click the Items tab at the top of the page.

  3. Click Create Item at the top of the page.

Add the item details

  1. Enter the Display Name and Amount (price).

  2. Adjust any additional settings (optional).

  3. Click Save.

⚠️ For the item to appear on your website, add it to a category, and make sure that category is on an active menu.


In the Owner App

In the app, start from the category where you want the item to go.

Open the category

  1. Tap More, then tap Menu.

  2. Tap the dropdown arrow and choose the menu you want to work with.

  3. Tap the category you want to add the item to.

  4. Scroll down and tap +Add Item.

Create the item

  1. Tap +Create new item.

  2. Enter the Item name and Amount (price).

  3. Adjust any additional settings (optional).

  4. Tap the check mark (✓) in the top-right corner to save.

ℹ️ Note: When you create an item in the app, it's automatically added to the category you selected. You'll still need that category on an active menu for it to appear on your website.
