Need help?

Email support at agent@stampede.ai with:

  • The menu and venue.
  • The missing product or section.
  • Screenshots of the menu in Stampede and what the guest sees.

Good to know

  • No share link? Turn the menu on and make it live at a venue first.
  • Delete menu stops guests ordering from it everywhere. Past orders keep their lines.
  • Removing a product from a section leaves it in the catalogue and on other menus.
  • Sections and products can have their own hours, so one menu can run breakfast, lunch and dinner.
  • Duplicate makes a copy that starts off and not live anywhere.
