The menu manager allows restaurants to quickly view menu data using search and filter tools so that you can easily keep your menus up-to-date.
The menu manager provides a way to quickly view menu entities (items, modifiers, and price levels) and make certain changes in bulk. This can be especially helpful for restaurant groups with large menus or many locations, allowing you to save time managing menus by using search and filter tools to quickly find the data you wish to update. You can also go to the menu manager to preview how your menus will look on your POS using the View POS layout button. To learn more, see Can I preview how my menus will look on my POS?.
If your restaurant uses Toast Multilocation Management (MLM) or one of the Restaurant Management suites (learn more: Toast Suites Overview), you can also use the menu manager to schedule pricing updates to go live in the future – allowing you to control when your menu changes go live.
To access the menu manager in Toast Web, navigate to Menus > Menu management > Menu manager. In order to make edits on this page, you’ll need the 4.5 Edit Full Menu permission at any location or location groups you wish to update.

When you choose the Full menu view in the menu manager, you'll see additional functionality that makes managing your menus easier.

All changes made on this page are saved automatically! Be sure to publish changes to push them to your POS.
Once you’ve used the search field or the filtering options to find the items/modifiers you wish to change, you can make those updates using the Price and Visibility fields on the menu manager table, as shown below.
If you’re ready to save and publish those changes now, select Save changes in the top right corner of the page, and then select Yes, save now on the confirmation pop-up. Be sure to publish your changes so that they’re reflected at all affected locations. To learn more about publishing, check out this Toast Central article: .
If your restaurant uses Toast Multilocation Management or one of the Restaurant Management suites and you'd like to schedule these changes for a future date and time, you can create a change set and use the scheduled publishing feature. For more information, check out this Toast Central article: .
At this time, bulk price editing (for example, increasing prices for multiple items by a dollar or percentage amount) is not available. Look out for future updates!
No, the menu manager only allows you to update prices that are already set on a menu item or modifier. If you need to add a price for another location or size, navigate to the item/modifier details page first.
