POS Menu

IMPORTANT: YOU MUST PUBLISH YOUR MENU IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE UPDATED ON YOUR POS.

To view your POS menus, go to iPad Menu > POS Menu.

These are the menus for the Abacus App, though if you have converted one for online ordering, it will appear here as well.

To the right of each menu are several buttons:
a) Click the Edit (pencil) button to go to the POS Menu Design page.
b) Click the download button to download a csv file of the menu.
c) Click the copy button to duplicate the menu.
d) Click the delete button to remove that menu.

Sync the menu on the POS

There are different elements to a menu that you can create and edit, and rearrange (through drag and drop):

• Menu tabs - group, product, note
• Menu items - group, product, note

Menu Tab

These are your Menu Tabs.

To create a new Menu Tab, click Add Tab

To edit a Menu Tab, click on the pencil icon next to a tab.

A Menu Tab can be set as a:

• Group (recommended) - a folder in which you house your products
• Product - if you want quick access to a product
• Note - if there's a particular note that you will regularly print

Menu Items

These are your Menu Items.

A Menu Item can be set as a:  

• Product (recommended)
• Group - a folder in which you house more products
• Note - if there's a particular note that you will regularly print

To add a Product to your Menu Tile, you should:

1. Create a Product in the Products page (and save!)

2. Go to Menu > Add Item

3. Search for your product then select it 

To edit an existing Product, click on it directly

Import a menu from CSV file (advanced users only)

Instead of designing the menu using the interface, you can import one as a CSV file. Click Import from the POS Menu list and select the POS menu CSV file.

Note: You can get a sample POS menu csv file template from POS Settings > Bulk Import (select Menu). The template for Table Ordering Menu and POS Menu are the same, however, only the POS Menu can have products at the category/tab level.
