This is where you set up everything your business sells or offers whether that’s dishes, services, products, or medicines (it depends on your business type).
Categories
Categories help you group your items so they’re easy to find. Go to Menu > Categories to manage them.
Creating a category
- Click Add Category
- Give it a name (like “Appetizers”, “Main Course”, or “Beverages”)
- You can also add subcategories if you want to get more specific
- Set the order you want them to appear in
Subcategories
You can organize things into layers. For example:
- Beverages (main category)
- Hot Drinks
- Cold Drinks
- Smoothies
Your items
Go to Menu > Items to see and manage everything you offer.
Adding an item
Click Add Item and fill in what you need:
| Field | What it is | Required? |
|---|
| Name | What you call it | Yes |
| Description | A short description for your customers | No |
| Price | How much it costs | Yes |
| Category | Which group it belongs to | Yes |
| Image | A photo to show customers | No |
| SKU | A code for tracking (helpful for retail) | No |
| Barcode | For scanning at checkout | No |
Choose where items show up
Each item can appear in different parts of Qorelly. You decide:
- Menu Visible on your public digital menu that customers can see
- POS Available when your team is creating orders
- Inventory Tracked as a stock item
- Bookings Available as something customers can book
Track your stock
If you want to keep an eye on how much of something you have left, turn on inventory tracking for that item. You can set:
- Quantity How many you currently have
- Reorder point When stock drops below this number, you’ll get an alert
- Supplier Who you order it from
Turn items on and off
If something is temporarily unavailable, just toggle it off. It won’t show up in the POS or on your digital menu, but it stays in the system so you can turn it back on whenever you’re ready.
Grid view or list view
You can switch between two ways to look at your items:
- Grid view Shows items as cards with images, great for browsing
- List view A compact table, great for managing lots of items quickly
Qorelly remembers which view you prefer.
Import and export
Got a big menu? You don’t have to add items one by one.
- Click Import/Export in the toolbar
- Export downloads everything as a spreadsheet (CSV file)
- Import lets you upload a spreadsheet to add or update items in bulk
Export your menu first to see the right format, then edit the spreadsheet and re-import it. Much faster than doing it all by hand.
QR code
Want customers to see your menu on their phones? Generate a QR code:
- Go to Menu > QR Code
- Download the QR code image
- Print it and put it on your tables, door, receipts, or anywhere else
Customers just scan it with their phone camera and your full menu pops up no app needed. See Digital Menu for more on how this works.
