Menu

The "Menu" application template allows you to provide portal users with menus online. This allows employees to find out about the current dishes available in the company cafeteria.

Portal users with the "Manager" role can enter dishes. When doing so, they can record special features of the dishes and any allergens they may contain. This allows portal users who read the menus to quickly identify which dish they want to choose.

Portal users with the "Editor" role can enter the menus, which can then be read by all portal users. When entering the menus, the dishes previously entered by the "Manager" are available for the "Editor".
