How to increase revenue using menus in Mews POS

You can use menus in the Mews POS web dashboard to control what your team sells, when they sell it, and at which outlet. This helps you promote high-value items, reduce ordering mistakes, and increase total spend per guest. You can use this feature when you set up or update service in a restaurant, bar, or room service outlet. Menus help you sell smarter, upsell faster, and improve guest experience across your property.

 

In this article you can learn about how to increase your revenue using menus in the following steps:

Step 1: Assign menus to appropriate outlet

Step 2: Add sections to your menus

Step 3: Override product details on a menu

Step 4: Add bundled items and increase order value

Step 5: Reorder menu sections and products

Step 6: Enable or disable menus

 

Step 1: Assign menus to appropriate outlet

Assign each menu to specific outlets such as the restaurant, bar, or room service. This lets you:

• Price products differently depending on location
• Build specific menus to serve high-margin items, and increase upsells
• Create focused menus for quick-service teams
• Control what items you offer to guests in each space

When you create a menu in the Mews POS web dashboard, you can select which outlets the menu applies to.

Note: Only enabled menus assigned to an outlet appear in the Mews POS app.

Step 2: Add sections to your menus

Add sections to your menus such as Starters, Mains, Desserts. This helps staff:

• Guide guests through the menu flow
• Suggest add-ons naturally during service
• Offer high margin items in one place

Step 3: Override product details on a menu

Override product display details on a menu to adapt them for specific menus. For example, change “Cheeseburger” to “Weekend Grill Special” and update the description and price on your terrace menu.

This helps you:

• Rename dishes to match seasonal offers
• Write custom descriptions to highlight ingredients
• Update prices for different outlets or times

Note: Overrides only affect the menu. They do not change the original product settings.

Step 4: Add bundled items and increase order value

Add multiple products to a section to create bundles. For example:

• Sell fixed-price menus or two-for-one offers
• Recommend combinations like drinks and desserts

For example, create a “From the grill” section that offers high margin items like steak.

Note: You can add the same product to more than one section, depending on your strategy.

Step 5: Reorder menu sections and products

Order placement becomes faster and more accurate when menus follow a logical flow. Reorder sections and products to match how your team works.

• Turn tables faster during peak hours
• Reduce refunds from incorrect orders
• Increase guest satisfaction with fewer errors

Step 6: Enable or disable menus

Enable a menu when it is ready to use and disable it when it no longer applies to current service. This helps you:

• Prevent staff from selecting outdated or test menus
• Keep seasonal or event-specific menus hidden until needed
• Ensure wait staff only see the correct menu options during service
