Meal plans
Sell lunches or full days by the month: members pick their dishes, the kitchen gets one list a day.

A meal plan is a standing deal with a guest: so many meals a period, on the days and at the times you serve, for one price. You describe it once; every member keeps the terms they joined on, picks their dishes from their own link, and Today tells the kitchen what to cook.
The four views
- Today — the day's meals by meal time, with what needs you first: Record payments, Meals that need you, plans ending this week and guests who asked to join. From here meals go to the kitchen, slips get printed and deliveries are marked delivered.
- Members — everyone on a plan with Meals left, This month (Paid or Unpaid · meals paused) and Renews. Add member takes the first payment and sends their link.
- Calendar — each plan's menu on real dates: a Chef's pick and Other choices for every meal. Fill it for me plans it in one tap; plan it by hand in Rotation, check real dates in Dates, and Make it live turns it on.
- Plans — what you sell, written as one sentence (Members get 22 lunches every month for 899…). Click a word to change it; Start selling puts the plan on your plans page.
Keeping it honest
- Payment first: a cycle's meals stay paused until a payment is recorded, and Menulisa never charges the member itself.
- Members keep the price they joined at. Save changes moves them onto new days, times and dishes straight away, and onto a new meal count from their next period.
- Every meal, adjustment and renewal is a ledger entry you can read on the member's profile — no number appears without a line explaining it.
- The till doesn't spend plans against a check: plan meals are served from Today (or the POS Members screen). Store-credit plans top up the customer's balance instead, which the Balance tender spends like any other money.
TipMeal plans are an opt-in feature — if you don't see CRM › Meal plans, ask us to enable them for your restaurant.
