Before You Begin
You'll need:
- A Lightspeed POS plan.
- An account with Uber Eats, Menulog or DoorDash.
- Your products and offerings added to Back Office.
Sync your Products
Syncs pull through your products from Lightspeed. Without syncing your products, you won’t be able to build your delivery menu on Lightspeed Delivery.
-
- Go to Locations.
- Select your location.
- Click Sync products.
Create a Deliverect menu
Set up Deliverect menu
- Navigate to the Menus page in the sidebar.
- Click on the +Add New Menu button.
- Choose from Option 1 - Create menu.
- Complete the following fields:
-
- Menu Image: Upload an image to display on your menu.*
- Menu Name: This name will be shown to customers on your channels.**
- Internal Menu Name (optional): By adding a name, you can easily distinguish this menu. This name won't be shown outside of Deliverect.
- Menu Description: Provide additional information about this menu.
- Type: How customers will receive their orders (delivery, pickup, etc). Please note, you will need to contact the delivery partners if you want to offer delivery only.
- Use Products From: Choose which location to use.
- Click on the Save Menu And Create Categories once ready.
*This will not sync to DoorDash or UberEats. After you have published your menu you can add a Menu Image to the DoorDash/UberEats merchant portal. For Menulog, the menu image will sync, after it's been approved by Menulog.
**Do not use the terms "Uber", "DoorDash", or "Menulog" in your delivery Menu Name if you are going to be using one menu across all the platforms.
Create Categories and add Products
Now is the time to add categories to your menu.

- Enter a name for this category and optionally a description.

You can rearrange your products by clicking and dragging them by the area circled below. Or, you can sort them by name or price with the Sort Menu Items button.
Update Product details
Once your products are synced to Deliverect, you will be able to edit the information, such as the price or pictures, to make the products customer-facing. e.g. You can add pictures of your Products or a description aimed towards your customers, while keeping a more operational version in your POS.
Important- images are not supported through the API to push to Doordash. You need to upload images directly to Doordash through the Doordash merchant portal after you have published the menu if you want images on your menu.
- Click Menus from the Navigation sidebar
- Select the menu you want to modify
- Click on Manage Menu Items
- Click the 3 dots next to the Product you want to modify.
Once you are done, click on Save Edits.
Products will sync with attached Option Sets, these can be found under Attached Modifier Groups, found by selecting a product to modify. From here, you can edit your Options and Option Sets.
These modifications will be visible for your customers on your different Delivery channels yet not in your POS.
Note - if you changed the product description on Deliverect, and then you add a new one on your POS, when syncing the products, the description from your POS won't be added to Deliverect.
Restore product values
After modifying a product's name, price or description, you’ll see a yellow arrow. To restore one of the fields you modified to reflect POS, just click on the yellow arrow on top of the modified field.
Set Menu availability
Once your menu has been created, you'll need to set its availability - these are the times your menus will be available.
- In Menus, select Manage Availability

- Click and drag along the times you'd like the menu to run. You can add split-service hours by making multiple blocks on one day. All white space will result in no available menu.
