# Manage and share menus

Open **Menu** from the [store editor](https://docs.ordering.co/docs/products/dashboard/stores/view-edit-store/). Use menus to decide which catalog items a store offers and when.

## Open the menu

Select a store under **Stores → Stores**, then choose **Menu**. Open an existing menu or choose **Add menu**. Use **Shared menus** to see menus owned by other stores that are shared with this one.

## Configure the menu

Choose **Basic** in the menu editor to change the menu’s name, hours, or selection. Save the changes in that section.

### Add products

Create or maintain products in [Products](https://docs.ordering.co/docs/products/dashboard/stores/products-overview/). In the menu, include all products or choose the available categories and products you want to offer.

### Organize categories and products

Review the category and product selection. Save changes before checking what appears on the storefront.

### Add presentation and details

Use **Channels** where available to check the menu’s channel configuration. Review the menu name and presentation fields the editor shows.

## Review the customer-facing menu

Open the customer-facing site or app and choose the intended store and time. Check that the expected menu and products appear for that channel. Availability can differ by schedule and store.

## Share a menu with other stores

Open a saved menu and choose **Share with**. Search the store picker, select the stores that should receive the menu, and use the picker’s save action. Check the selections after saving. A receiving store finds it under **Shared menus**. Before changing a shared menu, check which stores use it.

## Common catalog uses

Use separate menus for different service hours or assortments. Share a menu when stores should receive the same offering.

## Check before you finish

Confirm the owning store, included products, schedule, and sharing scope. Review the customer-facing result for the intended store.
