What is the difference between a special menu and independent menu for catering and events?
See the table below for an overview of special menus and independent menus for Toast Catering & Events:
| Menu type | Menu type description | Support Center Article |
| Special menus | Special menus have unique URLs. These can direct customers to the orderable dates for this menu, with no other options. Once a special menu is created, find the URL to the right of it within the special menus table. | Get Started With Catering Online Ordering (Menu Management and Special Menus section) |
| Independent menus | This feature allows you to display special menus for events, holidays, etc., separately from your other menus all the time or on specific days. | Set Up Independent Catering Online Ordering Menus |
