Video Walkthrough
We've created a brief video to walk you through the process of enabling and configuring calories.
How Do I Enable Calorie Counts?
From the top navigation menu, select Settings, then Menu/Checkout Settings
Check the Enable Calorie Display checkbox
If desired, customize the calorie label, adds prefix for modifiers, or footer text for the succinct statement of calorie information
Click the Save Settings button to save your settings
How Do I Enter Calorie Counts?
Once calorie counts have been enabled, you will need to enter calorie information.
From the top navigation menu, select Menu
On the left-hand column, click the button labeled Calorie Counts
For each item and modifier, enter the appropriate calorie value; you do not need to enter the "cal" suffix, this will be added automatically
For items with a single size and calorie value, you can simply enter the value, like "300"
For items with multiple sizes, you can enter slash-separated values or ranges, such as "150/300" or "150-300"
We recommend entering 0 for items or modifiers with no calories, so that it's clear that the values are not empty
There are several ways that we've made the form fast to use:
You can press shift twice as a hotkey to go to the first empty field
The Tab key can be used to quickly go between form fields
The green arrow icons can be used to fill similar field values
How Do I Add Nutritional Information?
