Let's get your menu live!
Ready to get that menu out in front of hungry eyes? Amazing!
Let's run through a quick checklist...
Your Items activated & (optional) descriptions and images added | Check |
Receipt settings updated | Check |
Branding your menu complete | Check |
Menu sections in place (or hidden) | Check |
Section headers and footers updated | Check |
Pricing display configured | Check |
Once you have your receipt settings entered, your branding complete and your menu sections and items displaying as you'd like them, it's time to set your menu LIVE!
Do this on the Setup > Bustle Online page, press Start Now under Make Your menu discoverable and a window will slide out. Press Get Online.
A couple of notes about going live
No one will see your menu yet - until you share it.
Changes to items - additions, deletions, price changes, positioning on menu - will all update automatically on your Online Menu.
New Sections added after going live will be switched off by default, giving you time to set everything up and enter your descriptions etc.
Congratulations, you're live!!
Once you go live the following screen appears.
Go ahead and grab your phone test out your menu links - the direct link can be copied or try out the QR code.
Your QR Code
Use your phone camera app or any QR scanner app to scan the QR code that appears. This links to your live menu and will be what your customers see - so do another review and make sure everything is displaying as you want it to.

Your Direct Link
You'll also get a direct link to your menu. This link is best used to add to your social media profiles or anywhere online where you can't display the QR code.
Your Website Links/Embedding
There are also some instructions on how to display the menu in full on your website - this is where it can get a little trickier and you may need a website guru to help. Click the Adding the link to your website button to display the instructions.
Want to share your link on Google / Instagram / Facebook?
It's really simple to get people directly onto your menu when they hit your socials or google you.
