Menu view only for website

[55riversbarge]

How can I show the menu items on my website without allowing the client to place an order. We are a food truck.  I would like to keep the menu in sync with the POS. Just not enable the ability to do orders online. I was not a fan of the message about stating no online orders are available. It would be nice if that button was not available. So if they wanted to learn more about the item they can, they would not see the order button greyed out.

Hi @55riversbarge, thanks for sharing this! At the moment, there isn't a way to have a view-online menu for the website without turning off the Order Online button or marking the item as Out of Stock. I can definitely see how this would be an useful feature to have so I'll be sure to share your suggestion with the appropriate team as well.

In the meantime, there is a manual workaround that may help. I start with adding a blank page and named it Menu.

Once I have the page, I add a new PDF section to it.

Here, I uploaded a PDF file of my menu. For this example, I actually save my webpage as a PDF and just upload it.

Then I go to my header and click into Navigation to edit the links. Here, I can add in a new navigation link for the Menu page I just created, and also be able to delete the Order Online page (this will just delete the page from the header and not the whole page itself. The page will still be in the backend.)

Once that's done, make sure to hit Publish so the change will reflect on the live website. With this page, customers will be able to view the menu without being able to purchase. I hope this will help!
