The Facebook application OpenMenu Tab makes it a breeze to add a Menu tab to your restaurant’s Facebook page powered by your OpenMenu.
All powered by your OpenMenu. Adding further to the one menu, in one location, powering your menu everywhere online.
note: OpenMenu Tab (and other Facebook Apps) will only work on business type pages as Facebook removed the ability to add tabs to personal pages. Also, OpenMenu Tab must be setup by the page creator.
Follow these simple steps:
1. Add OpenMenu Tab to Your Restaurant’s Page (must be logged in as the Admin of your restaurant’s page
2. Select Edit Settings from the newly added Menu tab (has the OpenMenu Icon)
3. Set the URL to your OpenMenu - format is http://openmenu.com/menu/[OpenMenu_ID]
note: you can use menu and group filters to display exactly what you want from your menu
4. Press Save -> Close. Now refresh your page and the menu should be displayed.

Hi Chris,
If I am to move forward with the menutab concept to clients in my area of the uk and Ireland, can I submit or email a menu from an establishment in my area to you and can you create the process for the customer and if so what would you charge for each submission etc.
Regards Stephen

Thanx for all of your support Oto.

Is there anyway to add multiple instances of the OpenMenu tab to facebook fan page? I’d like to have a link for Lunch Menu and a seperate link for Dinner Menu.
You can’t. Facebook doesn’t allow this. Hoping this will change in the future as others have asked.
Is there a way to change the name of the tab (so instead of “Menu” it could say “Restaurant Menu” or something else?

when i click menu edit setting is not available. am i doing some this wrong?
You have to be the admin of the page and make sure you are using Facebook as the user (who is the admin) and not as the restaurant.

What is your Facebook page? If you can see the Edit Settings link it means you are the admin so that’s good. You are probably blocking the dialog box in some way. Try a different browser to see if that works. (we’ve had no other complaints like this)
I’m trying to get the menu onto the facebook and it is asking for the menu in URL form? I only have it in a pdf… is there another way to upload?
You will need to get a free account and create your OpenMenu for your restaurant. Once you have that all of our solutions will be available. The purpose of OpenMenu is to create a common menu format that makes driving a restaurant’s online presence a breeze.
Hi
When I click Edit Settings nothing happens. When I right click on edit settings it brings up a new tab for Open menu with “.oops” on the page. Am I doing something wrong?
You can’t right-click the edit settings since it’s a Facebook app it must be run from within Facebook.
What browser are you using? Maybe you have a pop-up blocker or older browser. Try another browser to see if that works. I just tested in Opera, Safari and Firefox and it worked.
Tried in firefox and it works – thanks.
On another note is it possible for you to add some wording to the top of the menu that encourages customers to select a menu from the drop down list? Currently it relies on customers seeing the arrow knowing what to do. Just a thought to help improve a great app!
Great idea. We are going to add a task and get this done.
Please publish my newly created menu to my Facebook page. Thank you. https://www.facebook.com/eatcrazydog
Only a page admin can modify a page on Facebook. All you need to do is use our OpenMenu Tab and follow the instructions above.
I created an openmenu for our website but when I add the app to our facebook page and click on the “edit settings” button I only see the option to add a customized name or image, how do I setup the app so that it will display our menu?
You need to click on the menu tab that appears on your restaurant’s page. You will see an Edit Settings bar on the top of our tab as long as you are the page admin/creator.
Got it, there’s an “edit setting” button on the actual tab, that’s the one I was clicking on.
