Menu

You can use the "Meal plan" application template to provide portal users with online meal plans. 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 creating menus, the "Editor" has access to the dishes previously created by the "Manager".
