One menu for every channel: 86 an item in a single tap
Build your menu once, price and stock it per location, and pull a sold-out item from POS, kiosk, and online ordering in one tap.
Build your menu once in Opero (items, modifiers, combos), set per-location prices and availability, and 86 an item in one tap across POS, kiosk, and online ordering.
Every restaurant runs on its menu, but for most operators that menu lives in three or four places at once: one version in the POS, another in the kiosk, a third in online ordering, and a laminated copy on the pass. Keeping them in agreement is a chore, and 86'ing a sold-out item in the middle of a rush means updating each one before a guest orders something the kitchen can't make. Opero keeps a single menu on the same spine that takes the order, so there's one place to build it, price it, and pull an item the moment you run out.
What Opero menu management is
Opero menu management is a single builder for everything a guest can order. You organize the menu into categories, add items with descriptions and photos, attach the modifier groups that let guests customize a dish, and bundle items into combos. Prices for items and their modifiers are set in the same place. It isn't a menu that feeds the POS through an export. It is the menu the POS, kiosk, and online ordering all read from directly.
- Organize the menu into categories and items, with descriptions and photos.
- Build modifier groups and options so guests can customize an item.
- Bundle items into combos priced as a set.
- Set and change prices on items and modifiers in one place.
- Publish once: the POS, kiosk, and online ordering all read the same menu.
Run a halal kitchen? Opero derives each item's halal status from its ingredient terms and your own rules, and it starts in this menu builder.
Halal restaurant POS guide86 an item in one tap: pulled from every channel
When the kitchen runs out of the short rib, you don't want to keep selling it. Flip the 86 / temporarily out of stock toggle on that item and Opero immediately pulls it from ordering at that location: off the POS so servers can't ring it, off the self-order kiosk, and off your online and QR ordering so a guest can't add it from their phone. When it's back, flip the toggle off and the item returns everywhere at once. No hunting through separate systems while the line backs up.
One toggle, more channels over time
Today the 86 toggle pulls an item from your POS, kiosk, and online/QR ordering across that location. As marketplace ordering rolls out, the same toggle will also suspend the item on connected marketplaces like Uber Eats, so a single tap can keep every channel honest about what the kitchen can actually make.
Per-location prices and availability
Menus in Opero are per-location. A price, an item, or an availability setting can differ from one site to the next without maintaining separate systems. Set an availability override so a dish runs only at the location equipped to make it, carry a different price downtown than in the suburbs, and 86 an item at one location without touching the others, because each location's 86 is its own. The menu the group shares is a backbone, not a straitjacket.
- Per-location pricing: the same item can carry a different price at each site.
- Per-location availability overrides: run an item at some locations and not others.
- 86'ing is per location: a sold-out item at one site stays available at the rest.
- Copy a menu to a new location as a starting point, then edit the copy to fit.
One menu spine, every ordering channel
Because the menu lives on the same spine that takes the order, everything downstream stays in step. An item you add shows up on the POS, the kiosk, and online ordering without re-keying. A price change lands on every tablet at that location at once. Tie an item to its recipe and each sale draws down inventory, so your food cost tracks what actually sold. And when a ticket fires, the kitchen display shows the same item and modifiers the guest chose, because there's only ever one menu.
Put the same menu on a TV behind the counter: the digital menu board reads this menu, and an 86 reaches it within about a minute.

What does it mean to 86 an item in Opero?
86'ing an item marks it temporarily out of stock. Flip the toggle and Opero immediately pulls the item from that location's POS, self-order kiosk, and online/QR ordering, so no channel can sell something the kitchen has run out of. Flip it back and the item returns everywhere at once.
Does 86'ing an item affect delivery marketplaces like Uber Eats or DoorDash?
Not yet. Marketplace ordering is coming soon. Today the 86 toggle covers your POS, kiosk, and online/QR ordering. As marketplace ordering rolls out, the same toggle will also suspend the item on connected marketplaces like Uber Eats, so a single tap keeps every channel in sync.
Can each location have its own prices and availability?
Yes. Opero menus are per-location. Prices, items, and availability overrides can differ from one site to the next, and 86'ing an item is per location: a sold-out dish at one site stays available at the others. You copy a menu to a new location as a starting point, then edit the copy to fit.
Can I set up combos and modifiers?
Yes. You can build modifier groups and options so guests customize an item, and bundle items into combos priced as a set. Item and modifier prices are all managed in one place, and every ordering channel shows the same options.
