Guide: How to publish your menu on the Kanpla App (5 minute read)

Step 1: Create Products in the Mealplan (Shop) Menu Module:

Important Note: When creating products, consider them as main menu lines. For example, if you want a permanent gluten-free main meal for this week, name it "Main - Gluten Free" instead of naming it after the specific meal, like pumpkin soup.
​

Once you create a product named "Main - Gluten Free," it will appear as a menu line in the menu tab (see picture below). You can then specify the weekly meals for that category.

To start, create each meal as a product in the Menu Module of Mealplan (shop). Each product will show up as a menu line in the tab.

Note that adding products does not make them visible in the user app immediately; it only sets them up in the Menu tab of Kanpla Administration.

These products will be saved in your product bank for easy addition to future menus.
​

Step 2: Set Product Availability:

In Mealplan (shop), locate each product and assign it to the specific days you want it to appear in the menu tab. This ensures that each meal is available on the correct days within the Menu tab in Kanpla Administration.
​

Keep in mind that designating meals to be available on a particular day, such as Monday, does not immediately make them visible in the user app on that day; it only sets them up within the Menu tab. To make the meals visible to users, you will need to complete Steps 3 and 4.

Step 3: Add Meal Descriptions in the Menu Tab:

Go to the Menu tab, select each meal, and add detailed descriptions so users know what’s being served. For example, if “Warm Meal (Regular)” is spaghetti bolognese, enter that information here.

Note: Descriptions of meals are required for meals to display in the user app.

Step 4: Save the Menu:

Once your meals are created, assigned to days, and detailed, publish the menu to make it live on the Kanpla app. Your weekly menu is now set up and ready for users to view!
