The menu on the device
Products on the device edits the same catalogue as the dashboard, which means a price changed on a tablet is changed everywhere. Menu items covers the catalogue itself; this page is what the app lets you do to it.
- Plans
- Bistro, Brasserie, Signature, Enterprise
- Can it be switched off?
- No. It is part of every plan that includes it and cannot be switched off.
Editing an item
Section titled “Editing an item”| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Price | The base list price |
| Cost price | What it costs you — feeds food-cost reporting |
| SKU / Barcode | Barcode is what the scanner matches on Register |
| Stock | Leave blank for unlimited stock |
| Min Stock Level | Below this, the item appears in Low Stock Alerts |
| Tax Rate | Overrides the default rate for this item |
| Featured | Promotes it on the storefront |
| Active | Off hides it everywhere without deleting it |
Dietary labels
Section titled “Dietary labels”Veg, Vegan, Gluten Free and Halal are toggles on the item. They show to customers on the storefront and on the QR menu, so they are a claim about the dish — set them from the recipe, not from a guess.
Channel price overrides
Section titled “Channel price overrides”- Plans
- Bistro, Brasserie, Signature, Enterprise
- Can it be switched off?
- Yes — an owner or manager can turn it off under Setup → Features.
An item can be priced differently per channel: Dine-in, Takeaway / delivery, and Aggregator. One rule is worth knowing before you build a variant-heavy menu:
Variant option prices scale with the channel base — no separate variant channel prices.
So a large-size surcharge follows the channel base price automatically. You cannot set a different large-size surcharge per channel.
Channel pricing is off by default across the account, in which case every channel uses the list price and delivery shares the takeaway price. See Prices by channel.
Options and add-ons are not the same thing
Section titled “Options and add-ons are not the same thing”| Option groups | Add-ons | |
|---|---|---|
| Required? | Yes — the group must be answered at checkout | No — optional extras |
| Example | Size, cooking temperature | Extra cheese, a side |
| Price effect | Option prices replace or adjust the line | Charged on top of the line price |
An option group carries a Max picks, and the item sheet on Register shows the rule to the person ringing it up — Required · choose up to 2, or Choose at least 1. The same sheet carries Item note and an Out of stock toggle for the rest of service.
Categories
Section titled “Categories”Categories holds the menu’s structure, and three settings on it are easy to miss.
Default kitchen course. Each category can start its items on a course:
New register items in this category start on this course. Staff can still change S / M / D on the fly.
So putting the starters category on Starter means the kitchen gets coursing right without anyone tapping anything on Register. The options are None, Starter, Main and Dessert.
- Plans
- Brasserie, Signature, Enterprise
- Can it be switched off?
- Yes — an owner or manager can turn it off under Setup → Features.
- Needs first
- POS and in-house orders. This stays off until all of them are in your plan and switched on.
Category colours. Useful for finding a category fast on a busy grid — but:
Applies on this device only.
Each tablet has its own colours. They are not synced, and they are not a customer-facing setting.
Order. Sort menu items and category reorder both work by long-pressing a row and dragging it. Order saves when you drop — there is no separate save button.
Deleting
Section titled “Deleting”A deleted category is moved to trash rather than destroyed, so a category removed by mistake can be recovered from the dashboard. Items in it have to be dealt with first.
Changes need a sync to reach other devices
Section titled “Changes need a sync to reach other devices”Another tablet picks up an edit at its next sync. If a price looks wrong on one device, run Sync menu & device data there before assuming the edit did not save — see This device’s settings.
