MenuLink Client Main Switchboard

For most users, when the MenuLink Client Switchboard appears after you log into MenuLink Client. The Inventory features are available from this screen. In addition, you can access the Labor Switchboard by clicking the Labor button or exit the application by clicking the STOP button. Your administrator can modify preferences by user group, to make Inventory or Labor the default screen upon launching MenuLink Client.

Selecting a Store

Before you can use any MenuLink Client features, you must first select the store you want to work with from the drop-down list in the upper right corner of the Main Switchboard. Depending on how your system administrator has set up your system, a store may already be selected for you or you may be able to select from multiple locations. Speed search will auto-complete the site name as you type. An MRU (Most Recently Used) display lists recently visited sites at the top for quick site selection.

If you have any questions regarding which stores’ information you have access to, contact your system administrator. Once you select a store, MenuLink Client features become active. You’ll notice that the background on the buttons changes from gray to blue.

If MenuLink Client does not automatically select a store, select one from the drop-down list.
