Categories and options

Categories

Categories are the sections of your menu (Mains, Drinks, Desserts) and the tabs along the top of the till.

1. Open Menu & catalog → Categories and choose New category.
2. Name it and pick a colour.
3. Use the arrow buttons to put categories in order: that’s the order on the till.

Archiving a category leaves its items without one (No category).

Options (modifier groups)

A modifier group is a choice offered when an item is ordered: Spice level (Mild, Medium, Hot), Extras (Cheese, Egg), Size.

1. Open Menu & catalog → Modifiers and choose New modifier group.

2. Name it and add its Options, each with a price on top (0 for none). Tick Default on an option to pre-select it.

3. Set the rule:

   • Must choose at least: 0 makes it optional; 1 makes it required.
   • Can choose up to: leave empty for no limit.

   The till shows the rule: Choose 1, Optional, Optional, up to 3, Choose at least 1.

4. Save, then open each item that offers it and add the group under Modifier groups.

The option’s price is added to the item’s, and options print on the kitchen ticket and the receipt.

Amounts: what comes with the item, and extra charged

Some options are amounts rather than a yes or no. For each option you can set:

• Comes with: how many the item includes at no charge (0 for none).
• Up to: the most a customer may ask for.

Each one beyond Comes with costs the option’s price. For example:

• Chicken bun: a group Fillings with Tomato slices (comes with 2, up to 5, 50 each), Cheese slices (comes with 1, up to 3, 100 each), Onion rings (comes with 1, up to 4, 80 each). A customer can ask for 4 tomato slices (2 extra, charged 100) or none (No tomato, no charge).
• String hoppers: an option Gravy bag that comes with 1, up to 5, 60 each: the first bag is free, each more is charged.

The card shows it as ×2 included, up to 5 (+50 each extra), and the bill prints Extra tomato slices ×2 or No onion rings.
