Your menu is shared by everything on Masil: the consumer app, the web storefront and the POS. Change it once and every channel updates.
Open Menu → Menu & Categories to get started.
Create a category
- Press New category.
- Enter the name in both languages: Name (EN) and Name (AR). Both are required.
- Optionally add an Image — PNG or JPG, square, at least 600×600px.
- Leave Available on to show the category, then save.
Drag categories to change the order customers see them in.
Add an item
Select a category, then press New item.
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Name (EN) and Name (AR) | Yes | Shown to customers in their language. |
| Price (SAR) | Yes | Zero or more. |
| Description (EN/AR) | No | |
| Calories | No | |
| Image | No | At least 800×800px, up to 10 MB. |
Two switches control whether an item can be ordered:
- Available — whether the item is on the menu at all.
- In stock — turn off when you've run out, without removing the item.
Under Order types, choose where the item can be ordered: Delivery, Pickup, Dine-in and Curbside. All four are on for a new item.
Add modifiers
Modifiers are the choices on an item — sizes, extras, sauces. On the item, press Modifiers, then Add modifier group:
- Name the group in both languages, e.g. "Size".
- Set the Selection type: Single (choose one) or Multiple.
- Set Min selections and Max selections. A new group starts at min 0, max 1 — an optional single choice.
- Press Add option for each choice, with its name and any extra price.
Import a menu from a spreadsheet
For a large menu, press Import menu and upload an Excel or CSV file (up to 10 MB). Download the CSV template or Excel template first so your columns match.
- Items that already exist are matched by name and updated.
- Nothing is deleted by an import.
- Add an
image_urlcolumn and Masil downloads each photo for you.
Control availability per branch
Every branch shares the menu, but each can switch items on and off. Open Menu → Items & Inventory, choose the branch, and use the Available and In Stock switches for its items and modifier options.
