# Menu Items

# **Overview**

The first page you’ll see upon clicking **Menu** is the list of menu items. This page includes a table which shows all of the items which have been added to the menu for the restaurant.

Each column in the row communicates useful information about that particular menu item:

* **Product & description**: the name of the menu item and a description (if set).
* **Category**: the category within which the menu item has been placed (if any).
* **SKU**: the Stock Keeping Unit (also known as Price Look Up code), which is a menu item specific identifier which may be used to link products between Foodkit and external systems (e.g Point of Sale or Enterprise Resource Planning systems).
* **Modifiers**: the number of product modifiers which have been applied to the menu item.
* **Price**: the current list-price for the item.
* **Availability**: shows whether the menu item is currently in-stock at all branches. If not, it will communicate how many branches it is currently in-stock at (e.g “1 of 2 branches”).
* **Status:** shows whether the menu item is active on the menu for each restaurant outlet.
