• Your products and offerings added to Back Office.
• A Customer Success Manager to help set up your locations and channels. (If you don’t know who s/he is, please ask Support on 02 8599 2247).

Note - you must complete your Lightspeed Delivery menu set up before your channels are connected. 

Logging in to Lightspeed Delivery

1. Click the invitation link sent from a Customer Success Manager to go to the log-in portal.

  • Use Products From: Choose which location to use.

5. 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.

Update Product details

Once your products are synced to Lightspeed Delivery, 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.

3. Click on Manage Menu Items

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 Lightspeed Delivery, and then you add a new one on your POS, when syncing the products, the description from your POS won't be added to Lightspeed Delivery.

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.

Once your menu has been created, you'll need to set its availability - these are the times your menus will be available.
