When the POS software is first deployed, restaurant managers need to set up the list of food and beverage items sold by the restaurant. This menu is used for order taking, billing, and daily operations.
During daily operations, if the menu changes, managers can update the menu by following the instructions below:
Title | Description |
Set up menu categories | Helps organize food and beverage items into clear categories, making it easier for staff to find items and recommend them to customers when taking orders. |
Import menu from an Excel file | Allows restaurants to quickly create a menu by importing an existing Excel file. Commonly used when first setting up the system and the menu already exists in Excel format. |
Create menu from the built-in library | Helps restaurants quickly create a menu using predefined items available in the system. Typically used for new restaurants during initial setup. |
Add regular items | Allows restaurants to add new food or beverage items to the menu. |
Add items with variants | Enables fast menu setup, especially for items with different sizes or options. |
Add combo items | Allows restaurants to create combo meals or set menus. |
Add serving preference groups | Creating serving preference groups helps staff save time when selecting customer preferences. |

Arrange menu order | Allows managers to customize the display order of menu items. This order remains consistent so staff can quickly find items during order entry. |
