How do I offer one menu that never changes (evergreen)?

Evergreen mode reuses one menu template each week and hides the week selector during purchase. Subscribers still see dated deliveries when editing upcoming orders.

Steps

1. Open Menus, then open the Templates tab and build one template with every product customers can pick from (see 'How do I set up rotating menus?' for template basics).
2. Open the Evergreen tab and check Enable evergreen menu.
3. Choose the menu template.
4. Check Menu week starts on. This is the reference day for both the order cutoff and delivery date, and does not itself promise when boxes arrive.
5. Click Save to enable the menu. Then set Orders close and the optional Boxes arrive in the schedule card below, check the preview, and save that card if you changed its settings. Cutoff and arrival settings carry over when switching menu modes.

Frequently asked questions

Do customers still see delivery dates?

The purchase menu hides the week selector. When editing upcoming deliveries, subscribers still see dates: the configured arrival date when one is set, or the menu week's date range otherwise. Enabling evergreen does not remove the customer portal's delivery management controls.

What happens at renewal if the customer doesn't pick again?

The renewal automatically repeats the customer's last saved picks — that is built into evergreen mode, like a subscribed box that stays the same until changed. Customers who want something different edit the upcoming delivery in the customer portal any time before the order cutoff. If a product was removed from the template in the meantime, the renewal keeps the remaining picks and marks the order for your attention.

How do I change what is on the menu?

Edit the template (Menus > Templates). Changes appear on the storefront right away for new picks; selections customers already saved keep what was stored. If you remove a product that existing subscribers selected, their upcoming orders are topped up by auto-assign where enabled.

Can I run a one-off special menu for a single week?

Yes. Manual weekly menus take precedence on dates they exist, so add a Weekly Menu for that date and it will replace the evergreen menu for that period only.

How is this different from rotation?

Rotation cycles through several templates on a schedule; evergreen reuses one template for every period and hides the week selector during purchase. Turning evergreen on replaces an active rotation, and turning it off falls back to manual weekly menus.

Does the meal cap still apply?

Yes. Max meals selectable works exactly the same — customers who start picking must complete the selection before checkout, and selection counters show progress.
