Why menus are central
For marketing and commercial teams, the menu is the main commercial asset online: what you sell, at what price, with what story. The old problem is not only menu drift between Uber Eats and your app — it is maintaining separate menu stacks when strategy actually calls for different offers per surface. Fire spark starts from one operational source and lets you shape what each audience sees:- Your team updates items, prices, or 86s something in the POS — the master data stays accurate.
- Fire spark syncs that foundation and applies the menu rules you configured.
- Customers see the right catalog for their channel, store, fulfillment mode, and time — not a blind copy-paste everywhere, and not a disconnected spreadsheet per partner.
What you can vary
| Dimension | Commercial use |
|---|---|
| Channel | Full menu on your app; a focused subset on an aggregator; kiosk-only combos |
| Store | Regional items, local pricing, or locations that do not list delivery-only SKUs |
| Fulfillment | Delivery menu vs pickup-only items vs dine-in exclusives |
| Schedule | Breakfast vs lunch vs late-night without maintaining parallel integrations |
Menus are made of
| Piece | Role |
|---|---|
| Categories | Group products (mains, drinks, combos) |
| Products | Individual items, modifier groups, and modifiers |
| Availability | What is orderable now, per store and context |
