Creating drop-down menus in a widget

Allow customers to choose from various options within a menu/package

Within a menu/package, you can let customers choose between certain dishes in this package. You can also let them choose products to supplement the package.
​

Where do you set this up?

In Catermonkey, go to Website Widgets and open one of the widgets. Scroll down to Products that visitors can choose and add a package here.
​

Next to the package (e.g. Dutch Buffet), click on Widget settings:
​


​


Creating a dropdown menu

Click on Alternatives at the top of the bar and then on + Add selection group:
​

You will now see Group 1. If you want the customer to choose 1 of the 4 salads, for example, enter " Salads" as the Name of this group , set the minimum number to choose to 1 and the maximum number to choose to 1 as well :
​


​

Then, under -- Select alternative --, click on the dishes you want to add as choices.
​

You can also optionally add a surcharge here. The price of the package will then be automatically adjusted based on the choice with the surcharge.
​

By clicking on + add selection group, you can create a new group . This allows you to set up multiple selection groups within the same package.
​

Click on the cross in the top right-hand corner of the screen to close the package widget settings and save the changes.
​

In the widget, you will now see a selection option for salads in this package:
​


​


Products as additions to a package

Click on Additions at the top of the bar. Here you will see a list of all the products included in the package. By default, these are set to a fixed number.
​

You can also add a supplement to the package here. For example, a bottle of wine with the Italian buffet:
​

If you click on supplement, you can indicate how much this product costs as a supplement to the package.
​

Click on the cross at the top right of the screen to close the package widget settings and save the changes.
​

In the widget, you will now see an additional option for the Italian buffet in this package:
​

The customer can enter a number here themselves, without the price of the package being adjusted.
