📍 Where Your Menu Lives in Shift4

Marketplace → Menu Manager
👉 This is the source of truth for everything AppFront pulls into your ordering system.
📥 No Menu Showing? Import from POS
If your menu is not visible in Menu Manager:
Click Import from POS
Select your POS menu
Allow it to populate into Menu Manager
📌 Important:
AppFront can only pull menus that exist inside Menu Manager — not directly from the POS.
🛠️ Step 1: Enable Items for AppFront

Open any item
Look for availability / channel settings
✅ Check the box for AppFront
👉 Only items enabled for AppFront will appear in your online ordering.
💲 Step 2: Set Pricing for AppFront
You can control pricing directly within Menu Manager:
AppFront can have its own unique pricing
By default, pricing is pulled from:
SkyTab Online pricing (if previously configured)
📌 This allows flexibility if you want different pricing for online vs in-store.
🖼️ Step 3: Add Photos & Descriptions
4
Inside the Edit Item screen:
Scroll down to find:
Image upload → this is what AppFront displays

Online Description
📌 Important Callout:
These fields are NOT automatically pulled from your POS

Items may appear without descriptions
Images will not show in AppFront
📅 Step 4: Assign Your Menu to a Schedule

This is the most critical step 👇
Your menu must be assigned to a schedule
