Configuration

To configure Grubhub for the selected location, select Edit.
Once selected, the section will expand with the following:
1. Name and Location of the restaurant being accessed.
2. Hours - guests can order via the 3PO platform from this restaurant location during the hours set in Takeout & Third party delivery. For more information on setting Online Ordering hours, see this .
3. Menus - the list of currently selected menus that guests can see and order from on the Grubhub platform. You can now easily have different menus shown on each partner by selecting them on each partner’s individual configuration page.
4. Add Menu - a dropdown list where you can add/select additional menus to surface to guests on the 3PO partner.

Note: Only menus with visibility set to Online ordering partners will be selectable in this dropdown. Customers can set their menu visibility via advanced menu properties or Menu Builder (non-MLM users only).

Menus

The menus section of the 3PO configuration page is where you will see the list of menus selected for each of the individual 3PO partners. These menus can now be dynamically chosen, allowing you to have different menus available on each individual 3PO direct integration and to change and modify those easily.

Note: For all steps below, you must select Save and Publish All Changes at the top right of the 3PO configuration page to be sure all changes are saved and applied.

Add Menu

To add another menu for guest ordering, follow the steps below:

Select the Add Menu dropdown in the selected partner configuration page.
Select the menu you would like to be added to the specific 3PO direct integration.

Select the Add button to the right of the dropdown.

Menu Incompatibilities

Menu incompatibilities can interfere with proper display and functionality for your menu(s) on your location’s Grubhub site. You can check to see if you have menu incompatibilities by navigating to Takeout & delivery > Third-party ordering > Grubhub > Menu Settings. Select the Edit v dropdown, where you will see an error message describing the incompatibilities present.

When you navigate into the relevant links, you will receive a popup with links that will take you to the item incompatibilities in question if you’d like to see them yourself.

No action is required of you — these incompatibility notices are simply informational, and your Onboarding Consultant will rectify these for you.
