Before following the procedures in this section, reach out to your Delphi sales representative and ask them to enable the Digital menu board visibility channel for your restaurant. The procedures below rely on that visibility channel being available. |
Decide Which Menu to Use for Your Delphi Digital Menu Board
For customers that use a Delphi digital menu board, Toast typically recommends creating a menu specifically for displaying on the digital menu board. To quickly create the menu for a Delphi digital menu board, you create a new menu in Toast Web and then add your existing menu groups to it. For more information, see Create a new menu for a Delphi digital menu board below.
If you have an existing menu that you want to use for displaying on the Delphi digital menu board, you can do so. For more information, see Use an existing menu for a Delphi digital menu board below.
Once the menu for your Delphi digital menu board is ready to share with guests, you must:
Publish your menu. The Delphi digital menu board can only show prices for a published menu.
Contact your Delphi onboarding consultant to enable automatic pricing updates from Toast Web to the Delphi digital menu board. After this step is complete, any changes you make to your prices in Toast Web are automatically updated on the Delphi digital menu board.
Create a New Menu for a Delphi Digital Menu Board
To create a new menu for a Delphi digital menu board:
Log in to Toast Web and navigate to Menus > Menu management > Menu manager.
Select the + Add menu button, enter a name for the new menu, and select the checkmark.
Select the menu you just created and select Advanced settings in the sidebar.
In the Groups section, select the arrow next to the + Add button and select Copy Existing Groups. The Select Menu Groups to copy dialog opens.
Search for or scroll to the first menu group you want to add to the menu for the digital menu board and then select it. The menu group is added to the top left of the dialog, indicating it will be added to your menu. Repeat this step for each menu group you want to add to the menu for the digital menu board. To remove a menu group from the list, select its X button.
When you have finished selecting menu groups, select Done.
Select Save.
At the top of the page, in the blue banner, select the menu page link to go to the menu builder tool. Note: The menu builder is Toast's newest menu configuration tool. Some settings are only available in this tool.
From the left pane, select Channel visibility.
Enable the Digital menu board visibility channel:
If you have a single-location restaurant, set the Digital menu board setting to On.
If you have a multi-location restaurant, select the locations that have a Delphi digital menu board from the list. If the Delphi digital menu board integration is not enabled for a location, it is grayed out and you cannot select it.
Select Save.
Publish your changes:
If you have a single-location restaurant, select Publish all changes at the top of the page to publish your changes, then select Publish again to confirm.
If you have a multi-location restaurant, you must use the Publish config page to publish your changes to each affected restaurant. Select the X icon in the upper-left corner to return to the menu's details page, then follow the instructions in Publishing changes for multiple locations in the Toast Platform Guide.
Use an Existing Menu for a Delphi Digital Menu Board
Using an existing menu means that all items and modifiers within that menu are marked for display when your Delphi onboarding consultant configures your digital menu board. To ensure that the right items are on the board and have automatic pricing updates enabled, work with your onboarding consultant. |
To use an existing menu for a Delphi digital menu board:
Log in to Toast Web.
In the left pane, select Menus to go to the Menus section, then select Menu builder.
Select the menu you want to use for your Delphi digital menu board to highlight it, then select its overflow menu (the ⋮ icon) and choose Edit. The menu's details page opens.
From the left pane, select Channel visibility.
Enable the Digital menu board visibility channel:
If you have a single-location restaurant, set the Digital menu board setting to On.
If you have a multi-location restaurant, select the locations that have a Delphi digital menu board from the list. If the Delphi digital menu board integration is not enabled for a location, it is grayed out and you cannot select it.
Select Save.
Publish your changes:
If you have a single-location restaurant, select Publish all changes at the top of the page to publish your changes, then select Publish again to confirm.
If you have a multi-location restaurant, you must use the Publish config page to publish your changes to each affected restaurant. Select the X icon in the upper-left corner to return to the menu's details page, then follow the instructions in Publishing changes for multiple locations in the Toast Platform Guide.
Manage Modifiers on a Delphi Digital Menu Board
On a modifier group's details page, you can choose whether selecting a modifier from the group is required or optional.
If a modifier group is marked as required, its modifiers are included by default in the data that is available for display on the Delphi digital menu board. Specifically, the data includes an entry for each combination of menu item and modifier from the required group, in addition to the entry for the menu item itself. For example, a Dinner Salad menu item has a Protein modifier group with two modifiers, Chicken and Salmon. The data that is available for display on the Delphi digital menu board includes three entries: one for the Dinner Salad menu item with no modifiers, a second for the Dinner Salad menu item with the Chicken modifier, and a third for the Dinner Salad menu item with the Salmon modifier. You can work with your Delphi onboarding consultant to define how the menu item and modifier combinations are displayed on your Delphi digital menu board.
Optional modifier groups are not yet included in the data that is available for display on the Delphi digital menu board. As a workaround to this limitation, you can add modifiers as standalone menu items and assign them a price. Your Delphi onboarding consultant can then help you present the modifier appropriately on the Delphi digital menu board. For example, you have a Sandwich menu item that has a Cheddar Cheese modifier that costs $1. Add a Cheddar Cheese menu item, to stand in for the modifier, and give it a price of $1.
Create Menus for Multiple Locations
If your restaurant has multiple locations, you can copy the menu you created for the Delphi digital menu board to those other locations, using the instructions in Copy Menus and Change the Target/Owner.
It is important to note that the copied menus do not retain a relationship with the menu they were copied from. This means if you add items to the menu you copied from, those items are not automatically added to the copied menus nor are they automatically added to the Delphi digital menu board.
Configure Item Stock Settings in Toast Web
You can configure item stock settings for your Delphi Digital Menu Board in Toast Web. In Toast Web, navigate to Menus > Digital menu board > Digital menu board configuration to open the Digital menu board page. On the Digital menu board page, you can choose to:
Subscribe to stock updates
Label "Out" for out of stock items
Upload an out of stock image
You must choose to turn on stock updates to display the other stock settings. |
You can choose to apply your item stock settings to one location or multiple using the location dropdown menu at the top of the page. Select your location(s) from the Locations or Groups tabs or use the search option to search and find locations. Check the checkbox next to the location to select the location(s) that the settings will apply to.
For example, if your restaurant has 64 locations, you can choose to only apply the settings to 60 locations. From there, you can customize each setting to specific locations, such as turning on the stock updates setting for 50 out of the 60 locations, and turning it off for the remaining 10 locations.
Select the Select location(s) button to save your changes or the Cancel button to cancel out of the dialog box.
Turn On Stock Subscription Updates
To send an update from the Toast platform to your Delphi Digital Menu Board when an item is marked out of stock, select the Stock subscription setting and toggle the setting to On. You can choose to apply this setting to certain locations in your restaurant group using the location dropdown menu. The On row shows the locations that are turned on to receive stock updates. To turn off this setting for certain locations, navigate to the Off row, and using the dropdown menu, select which locations to turn this setting off for.
Select the Save button and then navigate to the Publish Center to publish your changes.
Label "Out" for Out of Stock Items
The default for this setting is Off. You must turn on this setting. |
To enable the Toast platform to automatically replace an item’s price with an “Out” image when the item becomes out of stock on a Delphi digital menu board, select the Label “Out” for out of stock items setting and toggle the setting to On. You can choose to apply this setting to certain locations in your restaurant group using the location dropdown menu. The On row shows the locations that are turned on to label out of stock items. To turn off this setting for certain locations, navigate to the Off row, and using the dropdown menu, select which locations to turn this setting off for.
Select the Save button and then navigate to the Publish Center to publish your changes.
Upload an Out of Stock Image
The Toast platform automatically provides a replaceable out of stock image that can be used for the Delphi digital menu board. There is no limit to the number of images you can upload to the Toast platform. |
To upload a new image to indicate out of stock items on your Delphi Digital Menu Board, select the Upload Stock Image setting and select the New + button and then the + Add image button to upload an image. You can also drag and drop an image to use. The maximum upload file size is 1MB. Use the location dropdown menu to select which location(s) will use the uploaded image. Select the Select location(s) button to save your changes or the Cancel button to cancel out of the dialog box.
The new image is only available for the same locations that have the Subscribe to stock updates setting to On. |
Select the Save button and then navigate to the Publish Center to publish your changes. When you publish your changes, the out of stock image is saved to the XML file. The image will be available to use in the Template Designer in the Insight Engage Platform.
To delete an image, select the trash can icon next to the image. To replace an image, select the + Replace image button to open your computer's directory and then choose another image to upload.
