In this article, you can find solutions to some of the more common issues when using the Menulog integration.
Issues shown on the Orders page
Error message or issue | How to resolve |
A discount, delivery fee, or service charge isn't being sent through to your POS. | This happens when the matching item hasn't been set up in your channel settings. Contact our support team for guidance on creating and mapping these items. |
Issues shown on the Operation reports page
All non-order-related issues are found on the Operation reports page. This includes menu publishing, busy mode, and snoozing.
Menu publishing
Error message or issue | How to resolve |
Menu publish fails because the menu type is “Eat-in.” | Menulog doesn't support “Eat-in” menus. Change your menu type in Deliverect to “Delivery”, “Pickup”, or “Delivery & Pickup”, then republish your menu. |
Menu publish fails with an authorization or configuration error. | Your integration likely isn't fully live yet, or there's a setup issue on Menulog's side. Contact our support team so we can check your go-live status. |
Menu publish fails because of a “4 level items detected” error. | Menulog only supports modifiers nested up to three levels deep. Remove one layer of nesting from the affected item and republish your menu. |
Menu publish fails because a price is negative. | Menulog doesn't allow negative prices. Check your products for any item priced below zero, correct it, and republish your menu. |
Menu publish fails due to a problem with menu availability times. | Menulog only supports up to two time slots per day for a menu. Check your opening hours and category availability settings, and reduce them to a maximum of two non-overlapping time slots per day. If you need more complex scheduling, use the Menu Schedule feature instead. |
Menu publish fails with a configuration error on Menulog's side. | This points to a setup issue with Menulog rather than with your menu. Contact our support team so we can follow up with Menulog on your behalf. |
Menu publish fails with “no API found with those values.” | Your store's connection details appear to be incorrect. Contact our support team so we can verify and correct your integration details with Menulog. |
Busy mode
Error message or issue | How to resolve |
Busy mode fails with a 404 error, or the store status won't update. | Your store may not yet be enabled by Menulog for remote status changes, or isn't fully live yet. Contact our support team so we can check with Menulog. |
Snoozing
If snoozing an item fails with a message about the restaurant not being registered for item availability updates, your store likely isn't fully live yet on Menulog. Contact our support team to check your go-live status.
Other
Error message or issue | How to resolve |
Orders take a while to show up in Deliverect after appearing on the Menulog pad. | By default, Menulog only releases an order to Deliverect once a rider has been assigned, which is more accurate for pickup timing but can create a short delay. Contact our support team if you'd prefer orders released as soon as they're accepted instead, though note this can make pickup times less accurate. |
Orders are printing twice – once on the Menulog pad and once on your POS/DMA. | This happens when both devices are connected to a printer. Disable printing on whichever device you don't want receipts from. |
The pickup time shown on the Menulog pad doesn't match the time shown in Deliverect. | Deliverect always displays the pickup time that was sent with the original order. Menulog doesn't send updated pickup times afterward, so the two can drift apart. This is expected behavior. |
Preparation time shown to diners on Menulog is too short or too long. | Deliverect doesn't control the preparation time shown to diners on Menulog. Contact Menulog support directly to adjust it. |
Your store shows as offline on Menulog. | Check that your Menulog pad is switched on, and that the store hasn't been closed via the order pad, driver app, or a partner center request. If everything looks correct on your end, raise this with Menulog support. |
Orders suddenly stop coming through entirely. | Menulog blocks the integration if an order includes an item that doesn't match their latest stored menu – usually caused by menu changes made directly on the Menulog portal, or by a scheduled menu switch. Publish your menu again to resync both platforms and resume receiving orders. |
Product images aren't showing up online. | Menulog manually reviews and approves images, which can take 24-72 hours, and images must follow their guidelines. If it's been longer than that, contact Menulog support directly. |
The wrong image shows up on a product. | Menulog matches images by product name, so two different products with the same name will share one image. Give each product a unique name, such as “Strawberry Milkshake” and “Strawberry Ice Cream.” |
Optional modifier groups are showing as required to diners. | Menulog has limited support for nested modifiers – if your menu has any nested modifiers, all modifier groups may show as required, even ones set to optional. As a workaround, add a free “No thanks” option to each optional modifier group so diners can still complete their order. |
