Why Publish a Temporary Menu
A temporary menu allows you to showcase content that is not meant to be permanent on your site. It is particularly useful for:
Events and Holidays: Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day…
Seasonal Menus: summer menu, winter menu, autumn menu…
Limited Offers: weekend brunch, collaboration with a guest chef, themed weeks…
Occasional New Items: launching a signature dish for a few days or weeks.
Publishing a temporary menu allows you to generate interest, attract your customers to exclusive offers, and refresh your content without altering your main menu.
Publish a Temporary Menu
CentralApp offers three display modes to precisely control the visibility of your menu:
During a specific period: your menu appears only during the chosen period. Ideal for a seasonal or event-based menu.
Example: Christmas menu visible from December 15 to 31. The menu is automatically removed once the end date is reached.
Starting from a given date: schedule your menu publication in advance to prepare your promotions or events.
Permanently: for menus you want to keep visible all the time, without a time limit.
How to Publish a Temporary Menu
Create your menu in detail or in PDF.
During publication, select "during a specific period".
