Categories, sub-categories and modifiers

▶Video coming soon

Categories#

They are managed in Products › Categories tab.

• Add: type the name (50 characters) then Add (or Enter). A colour is chosen automatically.
• Colour: tap the coloured dot (24 colours or a free colour). It colours the category's card and the products' tiles at the till.
• Image: tap the square to upload, or the library; the cross removes it.
• Rename: the pencil (Enter confirms, Esc cancels).
• Category order: drag the handle (computer); the order saves immediately.
• Product order within a category: the arrows icon (see products).
• Delete: an empty category goes at once; otherwise a window offers to delete the category and its products, or delete it keeping the products (with no category).

Sub-categories#

Turn on Sub-categories in Settings › Register (off by default; this setting is also open to managers in limited settings). Each category then gets a Parent category menu: up to 3 levels (for example Sushi → Maki → Maki Roll). Products stay on the last level: a category holding products cannot become a parent. At the till and in the waiter app, a strip shows the path; the kiosk and QR menu show the main categories.

Display at the till#

In Settings › Register, "Display" card: number of columns (categories from 2 to 8, 5 by default; products "Auto" or 2 to 8), card shape (Rectangular by default, Less rectangular, Square), images (everywhere, categories only, products only, text), button style (Classic or Waiter style).

Modifiers (options)#

The Modifiers page (all business types except salons) creates option groups: "Doneness", "Sauces", "Extras".

A group is defined by:

• its name;
• its type: Single choice or Multiple choice;
• Required: the cashier must choose before adding to the cart;
• its options, each with a surcharge in MAD (positive, negative, or "included" at zero).

Click a group to see its options; the bin deactivates it. A group does nothing until it is ticked on a product's record ("Modifier groups"). There is no limit to the number of choices in a multiple group.

At the till, the product opens a window with the groups, the "1 choice" / "Several" / "Required" tags and the surcharges; a required single-choice group preselects its first option. The same group serves on the kiosk and in the waiter app.
