Hoteza Shop pages allow to add a list of optional products within one item. In case several options of products and drinks are available for guests within one Breakfast set, they are created as Toppings in the CMS. 


Firstly, create a Breakfast page under the In-Room Dining shop. Fill in the title and its description, the price and insert a picture. If the photo set of dishes is not ready yet, you may set a generic icon.

Please note!
According to statistics, product pages with pictures are significantly more attractive to guests and they increase the conversion of orders. A page may me saved without any icon or picture, but this will for sure influence the total overview of the screen menu.

After saving the page start adding the optional products using the Add item button
