Maska Menu
The menu your guests open from a QR code on their phone: photos, announcements, and a sold out switch that follows POS.
The Maska Menu is a page guests open on their own phone, usually by scanning a QR code on the table. It shows your dishes with photos, prices, diet marks and allergens. There is nothing to install and no sign-in.
Open Maska Menu in Maska HQ to run it. It works at an outlet that has the Maska Menu module switched on, with or without POS at that outlet.
What changes by itself
Price and Sold out come from POS. When POS changes a dish price, or staff mark a dish sold out, an open Maska Menu follows within about 10 seconds. You do not publish for this.
Add-ons on the dish panel
When a guest opens a dish, its add-ons are listed under the dish, in a group marked “ask your server”. Each add-on shows the same mark as a dish: veg, non-veg, egg or vegan. A guest who avoids egg can see it before asking. An add-on that costs nothing shows Free.
What you publish
- Brand menu. Words, photos, allergens, sections and collections. Press Publish and every outlet that has the module gets the same menu.
- Announcements. Each outlet writes and publishes its own, for example “This is a cashless outlet”. An outlet manager can do this without touching the brand menu.
A dish that goes live in POS after the last publish shows as New from POS. Guests do not see it until the next brand publish.
Dish names, descriptions and section names can have their own words for guests. Open a dish and type on the guest card, or press Edit words on Dishes to fill many dishes in one table. Each box saves to the draft, and guests see it after Publish. Leave a box empty to use the POS words. Bills, kitchen tickets and stock keep the POS name, and a guest’s saved list shows it in small text so a server can find the dish. Changing a description clears its allergen tick.
Other changes made in POS also count as changes to publish: add-ons, dish names and sections. When you press Publish, the confirm window lists them under Changed in POS, for example a section that was renamed, so you can see why there is something to publish even if you changed nothing in HQ.
Who can do what
A Brand manager runs the whole menu. An Outlet manager runs one outlet: announcements, sold out, QR codes and the menu address. They cannot change brand words, photos or allergens, and cannot publish the brand menu.
