Archiving a Menu
If you would like to remove a menu from Menu Manager you may archive that menu. All archived menus will be saved in a separate page so that you can keep your Menu Manager looking clean and organized. If you wish to use an archived menu in the future, you may unarchive that menu at any time.

You may view archived menus by clicking on the View menus drop down at the top of the module and selecting View archived menus.
You may click on the green Unarchive Menu button on any of the menus in this page to return them to use in your venue.
Menu Name and Tax Inclusion
The Menu Name is how this Menu displays throughout Bypass. This name should represent the type of items you want to contain in it.
Tax Exclusive Menu - Prices on this type of menu do not include tax. Customers will pay tax as an addition to the menu price and taxes will be applied on the tender screen.
Tax Inclusive Menu: Prices on this type of menu will assume your taxes are included in the menu price, meaning, there will be no additional charge to customers for taxes outside of the listed menu price. Please see example above.
Tax Inclusive (continued) - Manager system will automatically adjust your menu price to properly reduce your menu price (to adjust for your tax rate), calculate taxes, and sum those to equal your listed menu price.
