A design may already be completed in the account, but is not yet using data from a Toast POS. This article will walk through the steps to update the design using the MustHaveMenus integration with Toast.
This article builds on information from Adding the MustHaveMenus Tile to Toast and Transfer Menu Data from Toast. Please ensure the steps from these two articles have been completed prior to walking through this process.
Please watch this video demonstrating the process:
Update an Existing Design with Toast Data
From within the design editor, select File, and then select Make a Copy.
Give the copy a unique file name, and select Save a copy.
Select OK.
The design copy will automatically open in the design editor.
Select Text on the left panel.
Select the Import items button.
A pop up will appear. From the top, select the POS button.
If it hasn't been done already, assign a POS Location to a MustHaveMenus Location.
Select Assign Locations.
Click to select a Toast POS Location on the left and match it to a MustHaveMenus Location on the right, and then select Done.
After Location Mapping, the Toast POS data for the selected Location will show.
Select menu data for use and select Add groups.
The Toast POS data will show beneath My Menu Groups on the left.
To add the data to the design, click on the desired Menu Group from the left panel. This action will highlight all the Menu Group text boxes on the design, and click to replace will display over them.
Choose the text box where the items should be placed, and click.
The Menu Group will import into the selected box.
Repeat these steps until all of the desired Menu Groups have been added to the design.
Best Practices and Tips for using Toast POS data
Using text from Toast will replace the data on the design completely. That is why it is recommend to make a copy of the original design.
Update menu data through Toast, then return to MustHaveMenus. Auto Updates are on by default, so any design using data from Toast will automatically refresh to the most up to date version. Learn about Data Settings for Toast POS.
Review designs after using the Design Updater. This is to ensure that all of the sections remain neatly laid out on the designs and there is no text overlap.
