How-to · Setting up
Build your menu
Add what you sell, put it in a category, and give it modifiers such as size or milk.
Add an item
- Open Menu.
- Type the item's name and its price.
- Choose its Category. The category decides how it is taxed: food and drink, or merchandise.
- Choose its Category, such as Espresso or Pastries. Items in the same category sit together on the Checkout screen.
- Save. The item is on the Merchant Display at once.
Modifiers, such as size or milk
A group of modifiers is made once and attached to every item that uses it. A group can be required, such as a size, or optional, such as an extra shot. Each choice can change the price. Most per item says how many of one choice an item may take: 1 for a caramel, 3 for extra shots.
An item with no fixed price
Mark an item Open price and the Merchant Display asks how much each time it is tapped. Every new location starts with one, called Custom amount.
Products in a shop: SKU, barcode, and when to reorder
In a shop the screen is called Products and each one has three more fields.
- SKU is your own number for the product. A product needs one to be counted on Stock.
- Barcode is the number printed on the packet, the maker's. Type it or scan it into the field. At the counter a scan finds the product by its barcode first, then by SKU, so the two can differ. Two products cannot share a barcode.
- Warn me at is the count at which Stock lists the product under Running low. Leave it blank and it never warns. You can set or change it later on the product's row on Stock.
Import from a spreadsheet
Press Import from a spreadsheet, paste your rows with their header, and press Check. Name, category and price are needed. Optional columns: section, SKU, barcode, reorder at, modifiers and restricted. A blank cell clears a barcode or a reorder level; a sheet without the column leaves them alone. Nothing is written until the check comes back with nothing wrong.
A picture or a colour on the tile
Pick a Colour on the row, or tap Picture.
Changing and removing
- Reprice changes the price from now on. Sales already made keep theirs.
- Retiring an item takes it off the Merchant Display. It stays in your reports.
