Edit a menu item

Edit a menu item any time to update its name, price, description, options, availability, and more. You can do it in the Owner Dashboard or the Owner App.

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


In the Owner Dashboard

All of an item's settings are on its page in Menu.

⚠️ If your restaurant uses Clover Menu Sync or Otter POS, make most edits in your POS. See the last section of this article for what you can still change here.

  1. Click Menu in the left-hand navigation.

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

  3. Click the item you want to edit.

  4. Make your changes to any of these fields:

    • Display name: the name guests see on the menu.

    • Description: a description of the item (highly recommended).

    • Amount: the price of the item.

    • Points to Redeem: the number of reward points a guest needs to redeem this item for free.

    • Options: select any dietary options that apply, like Alcohol, Gluten Free, or Vegetarian.

    • Allergens: select any that apply to the item.

    • Calorie Count: the minimum and maximum calorie values.

    • Option Groups: add options that let guests customize the item, like "Toppings" or "Spice Level".

    • Apply sales tax for this item: turn it on or off to control whether sales tax applies.

    • Use a different name internally: set a different name for the Dashboard, tablet, or printed tickets, useful if kitchen staff speak a different language.

    • Promotion: mark the item as a Popular Item (shown in the Popular Items section) or an Upsell Item (shown when prompting guests to add items).

    • Available: whether the item is currently available for online ordering.

  5. Click Save Item.


In the Owner App

The app has the same item fields as the dashboard.

Find the item

  1. Tap More, then tap Menu.

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

  3. Tap the category that includes the item you want to edit.

  4. Tap the item you want to edit.

Make your changes

  1. Make your changes to the same fields listed in the dashboard section.

  2. Tap Save in the top-right corner.


If your menu syncs from Clover or Otter

With Clover Menu Sync and Otter POS integrations, make most edits in your POS, not in the Owner Dashboard. In the dashboard, fields that come from your POS work differently:

  • Amount is read-only and shows as a static value.

  • The Available toggle is replaced by a read-only Available row plus a Hide from guest menu toggle.

  • Display name, Description, and Photo can only be edited as overrides layered on the POS value.

  • Otter also locks Allergens and the dietary Options except Alcohol, and hides Calorie Count.
