Create a Menu

What this guide covers

Builds a new menu structure in Atlas that can be assigned to stores and channels, defining the catalogue of products and bundles available for ordering.

Steps

Step 1: Navigate to the Menus section using the left-hand navigation menu.

Step 2: Click the Create New Menu button.

Step 3: Fill in the menu details. Fields marked with * are required.

Field	What to enter	Notes
Menu Code *	A unique identifier for this menu	Use uppercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only — e.g., AU-BREAKFAST-2024. Cannot be changed after creation.
Menu Name *	A human-readable name for this menu	e.g., "Australia Breakfast Menu 2024". Displayed in the Menus list and shown when assigning menus to stores.

Step 4: Add categories to your menu by clicking the Add Category dropdown and selecting from the list. You can add multiple categories.
