New products that will be added to your Chewzie menu needs to be added as a new Product Line in the back office.
There are 2 ways to create/add a new product in the back office:
- As a Product Line in the Catalogue
- Directly into the menu
As a Product Line in the Catalogue
Step 1. Click on 'Catalogue', then click on 'Product Lines' to see the list of your current product lines.
