Add and edit menu items

Everything you sell is an item in Menu & catalog → Items. Install Menu & catalog first (it comes with Point of Sale).

Add an item

1. Open Menu & catalog, then Items, and choose New item.
2. Fill in:
   • Name, and a shorter Button label if the name is long (Used for the button on the till).
   • Base price, such as 1450.00. Whether it includes tax depends on your tax settings.
   • Category: where it shows on the till and on menus.
   • Tax category: which taxes apply. New items get the default one.
   • Kind: Food, Drink, Retail or Other. Drinks can be routed to the bar.
   • Colour for its till button.
3. Optional: a Description (Shown on kiosks, QR menus and delivery apps), Modifier groups (Choices offered when this item is ordered), Allergens (the 14 major groups), Tags (vegan, spicy, new), a SKU and a Barcode.
4. Choose Save.

The item goes on every menu that includes its category. Tills pick up changes straight away.

Find an item

Search by name or SKU, or filter by category.

Change a price

Open the item and change the Base price. Only people who manage prices can (owners and managers); the change is recorded in the audit log with the old and new price. For different prices on delivery or at an outlet, use price lists or outlet prices.

Mark an item sold out

Open the item and switch off Available now for the outlet. The till greys it out and won’t sell it. Switch it back on when it’s back. Staff who can only mark items sold out see the rest read-only.

Archive an item

Archive takes it off every menu. Past orders keep its name and price. Items are never deleted, so your reports stay right.
