PAR: New Layout and Rebrand Overview
Purpose:
-
Rebrand
- Update the look of guest and team member facing displays to reflect the updated logo and color scheme
-
Layout
-
Create dynamic sections of the menu for LTOs
-
Eliminates a number of recurring points of failure in releases by allowing the menu to update and organize itself using native PAR functionality
- No buttons are added or removed from the menu, so buttons will never be covered up when LTOs are released
- We can now use the API to verify that a promo or test item was added to the menu at all locations
-
Menus can now accommodate an infinite amount of items as users will be able to scroll through these sections if enough items are added to them
- This will likely never be necessary
-
Menu no longer has to be reorganized constantly to support each test and promo release
- Buttons will now dynamically position themselves
-
Provides franchisees with more control over the addition and removal of LTOs
-
LTOs will now dynamically appear on or disappear from the POS based on the item's active status
- POS sunsets will now function like digital sunsets where stores can remove them from the menu as they run out of product
- Test items will no longer appear on the menu except in their test markets
- Upcoming promotional items can be activated for testing then deactivated until their release date if desired
- Redesign and finalize core menu after recent additions
- "Resets" menu panels so they will be consistent across all locations
Rebrand Overview
The current rebranding affects start screens, menu panels, and customer-facing displays. The menu panels will be touched on in the layout overview, but here are some examples of what the other items should look like after this change:




Layout Overview
The layout update affects all menu panels. This includes the Main, Extras, Catering, and Boxed Lunch panels. Examples of what each panel will look like are below, in that order. Take note of the sections with white buttons. These are the new dynamic portions of the menu that will house promo and test items moving forward.




While the existing buttons for core menu items have in many cases been relocated and given a fresh coat of paint, their functionality should remain the same. The changes in button behavior will be limited to the dynamic portion of the new menu.
