Menu Management

Your menu is the heart of the POS. Items are organized into categories and can have custom codes for quick lookup.

Adding Menu Items

1. Go to Settings > Menu
2. Select or create a category (e.g., "Main Dishes", "Drinks", "Desserts")
3. Click Add Item and enter:
   • Name: The display name (e.g., "Chicken Curry")
   • Code: A short code for quick search (e.g., "CC01")
   • Price: Price in KES
   • Category: Which category this belongs to
4. Save the item

Modifiers

Modifiers let waiters customize orders without creating separate menu items:

• Temperature: Hot, Cold, Warm
• Accompaniments: Rice, Chapati, Ugali
• Special requests: No salt, Extra spicy, Half portion

Configure modifiers in Settings > Menu > Modifiers.

Tips

• Use consistent item codes — they speed up order entry significantly
• Group related items in the same category for faster browsing
• You can deactivate items temporarily (e.g., out of stock) without deleting them
• Price changes take effect immediately on all terminals
