Configure your menu for alcohol sales
🍺 Specify which products are alcohol
If you want to force age verification at checkout or require food when purchasing alcohol for pick-up or delivery, you will need to specify which products in your menu are alcohol.
- Go to Bopple Back Office ➞ Menu ➞ Products ➞ Open product detail
- Use the Alcohol switch to flag that the product should be included in the checks to require age verification or food to be ordered, based on your other settings.
🍔 Assign categories to the Food group
If you want to force customers to order food with alcohol for pick-up or delivery, you need to ensure you have some of your categories assigned to the parent Food group.
- Go to Bopple Back Office ➞ Menu ➞ Categories
- Select the Food tab to review which categories you have in Food.
- If you need to move other categories to the Food group, go to the Misc or Drinks group and use the "Move to Food" option on any categories you'd like to move.
