How to Create Specialized Menus
We’re often asked for a way to create your own custom menus with the MAP SYSTEM. For example, you may have a need for menu templates based on the GLYCEMIC INDEX. Or, perhaps GLUTEN-FREE or MEATLESS menus.
This functionality is NOW AVAILABLE!
The new MENU TEMPLATES – link will appear on your left navigation bar as soon as you log in. Just click on it and you’ll arrive at the MENU TEMPLATE SCREEN. (* Note: it will look almost blank until you build a CUSTOM MENU.)
This new Feature/Function will allow you to create specialized menu templates with the ability to ASSIGN them to specific clients based on such preferences as:
– Meatless Menus
– Gluten Free Menus
– Low Glycemic Menus
PLUS… Since you create them.. just like the Workout Templates, you can create Signature Menus by naming them with YOUR BRAND! Like:
- Joe’s Meatless Menu 1,750
- Pacific Health Club Gluten-Free Menu – 1,750
- Fit Studio Low-Glycmic – 1,750
Design Features
Here are a couple of design features of which you should be aware:
- To create a new menu, scroll to the bottom of the page to the “Manage Menus” drop down menu and click on “Create New Menu” and click on “GO.”
- From here, you can name or title your new custom menu template.
- Create your own Custom Menu starting with “Add Food.”
You can enter your own specific foods into your custom menu templates. However, they will be listed as “USER FOODS” with no exchange value.
- As you create your custom menu template, the caloric and ratio warnings will remain intact and display in red when the menu template is out-of-balance.
- The MAP SYSTEM will allow the creation an out-of-balance menu, however, you can NOT disable the red warnings or warnings on menu printouts.
- You may create an UNLIMITED number of custom menu templates.
- Custom Menu Templates can ONLY be assigned AFTER you’ve clicked on a client account (click on the client name). From this screen you may assign multiple menu templates.
