Meal deals are a combination of products with a fixed price.

For example, you could create a meal deal that contains a burger, drink, and dessert:

🍔 Choose your burger (meal deal section)

  • Cheeseburger (product)

  • Fishburger (product)

  • Chickenburger (product)

🥤 Choose your drink (meal deal section)

  • Cola (product)

  • Orange juice (product)

  • Water (product)

🍨 Choose your dessert (meal deal section)

  • Ice cream (product)

  • Cheesecake (product)

  • Tiramisu (product)

This article is only relevant if you do not have a POS integration. If you do have a POS, you can create them on that platform and then sync them to Deliverect.

Step 7. Add an existing meal deal or create one. View the section below if you need to create a meal deal section. Upsells can also be included in your meal deal (this article provides information about creating upsell groups).
