  Multiple Menus is Live!
  Now you can create and publish as many menus as you need, with the ability to decide exactly which stores and which ordering services will use one menu rather than the other.
  For example, if you don't deliver Coffee since it could arrive cold, but offers it under Pickup and Dine-In modes, you can set two menus, one with coffee items and one without, and connect them to the ordering services accordingly.
  Now expand that though for special menus, seasonal menus, temporary, store wise events, Delivery perks, and much more!

  Data visualization: Total Sessions & Overall Conversion
  With ChatFood Dashboard and its stellar data visualization capabilities, you don't have to be a data analyst to understand your business performance. We provide the right tools to help you get the necessary insights and make the right choices, resulting in improved customer relationships and a strengthened business. In addition to the Sales, Orders, and Performance metrics cards, we are adding Customer sessions, which has two cards:
  Total Sessions: This card shows how many user sessions or visits your business got on the ordering page. It is the same to say, "how many customers came in through the door in your store." These are not unique sessions, meaning that if the same user visited your online store three different times in a day, it would count three times.
  Overall Conversion: This card shows, in percentage, how many of those initial sessions became orders. For example, if your conversion is 10%, it means that out of 10 visits to your online store, you got one order. Learn More

  Share and view your customer's delivery location in one click!
  We updated the Live orders page to help you better clarify and accuracy of your customer's delivery location. Instead of having a text-only address, we've added three new capabilities to share a customer's delivery location: Copy order, View on map and Share on WhatsApp. This feature will help:
  Improve the delivery experience by minimizing calls between your business, delivery partners, and customers to get more clarity on the location.
  Make it easier and faster for you to share customer addresses with your drivers.
  Boost your Order Accuracy, which has an impact on customer loyalty.
  As a result, customers will want to order from you more frequently because they know they will receive the order on time and at the correct address.
