Changing the Display Name (i.e., User-Facing Name) of a Recipe
The display name of a recipe is its user-facing name that appears in menus and reports. The display name is specific to your account and therefore can be changed for any account in the system, including master recipes (i.e., recipes not owned by your account).
To change the display name of a recipe:
- Open the recipe (either from the menu or from the Recipe Listing screen).
- In the Display Name field, enter the name. The display name does not have to be unique (i.e., other recipes can have the same display name). The character limit is 30.
- At the top right of the slide-out panel, click Save to apply your changes.
Changing the Lookup Name (i.e., System Name) of a Recipe Owned by your Account
The lookup name of a recipe is the system name of the recipe. The lookup name can be used to search for the recipe in the system, and can be viewed on the menu week-at-a-glance view, menu day view, and personal menu view.
The lookup name can only be changed for a recipe owned by your account (i.e., a "My Recipes" recipe). The lookup name cannot be changed for a master recipe (i.e., recipe not owned by your account).
To change the lookup name for a recipe owned by your account:
-
Open the recipe owned by your account.
- In the Name field, enter the unique name for the recipe. The name should follow the protocol of starting with a general category and include production information to allow for searching and listing recipes. For example, “Beef Burger Patty Ckd 2.8 oz” or “Cake Banana f/Plain Mix Unfrosted”. The character limit is 40.
