Salido's Menu system is pivotal as a communication link between customers, kitchen staff, and sales team:

• Streamlines ordering and tracks inventory.
• Manages specials or changes and analyzes sales trends.
• Enhances customer dining experience and boosts restaurant efficiency and profitability.

The Salido Menu system contains the following components:

• Ingredients - In the Salido POS, ingredients have dual functions: they act as raw materials for creating recipes for Menu Items and as add-ons or a-la-carte options called Modifiers. 
• Menu Items - A specific dish or product available for order from your restaurant's menu. Menu items can comprise one or more ingredients and may have modifiers or variants to customize the dish. 
• Menu Variant- Variants are pre-defined alternate versions of a menu item that may differ in size, flavor, or other attributes. For instance, a pizza menu item may have size variants (small, medium, or large) and crust variants (thin, regular, or thick).
• Display Groups - One or more Menu Items that are grouped into a common category. Display Groups may be nested and correspond to a POS button for easy menu navigation. Examples of Display Groups would be "Wines," "Sandwiches," or "Salads." Salido also allows child groups inside Display Groups to organize your menu further. For example, the group "Wines" may have child groups named "By The Bottle" and "By The Glass," and the "By the Bottle" group may have child groups of Red, White, or Blends.  
• Ingredient Groups - Ingredient Groups are used to organize and group ingredients so they can be easily added to Modifier Groups and appear in the POS to help customize orders. For example, a customer orders a salad but wants to add extra toppings. Your restaurant may have ingredient groups for different toppings, such as vegetables, cheese, and meat. The server or cashier can then easily select the appropriate Modifier Group in the POS, quickly scroll through the linked ingredient groups, and add the specific toppings the customer wants.  
• Modifier - An object in the database utilized to alter existing Menu Items. Modifiers typically add or remove individual ingredients from a Menu Item or communicate cooking or preparation instructions. Modifiers are (optionally) associated with a price and are assigned to Modifier Groups.
• Modifier Groups - A collection of similar Modifiers. Modifier Groups are applied to either Menu Item Categories or individual Menu Items. Default Modifier prices can be overridden within the context of a Modifier Group without altering the Modifier itself. Groups can be configured to limit the number of selections, require a selection, allow multiple selections, or allow no selections.  
• Menu Screens - The various menu screen configurations that display in the order-taking section of the POS
• Price Levels allow you to tailor menu pricing based on geography, time, and order type. Whether adjusting for peak demand times, location-specific costs, or order methods, Price Levels provide an intuitive and flexible solution for optimizing your pricing strategy.
