Product management

This guide will help you create and administer your products and everything related to product configuration. 

A product holds necessary information for your customers and staff. Like e.g a name, description, declaration of content, price and VAT etc. There is also some POS specific configuration options for the product like barcodes for scanning purposes and open price functionality. 

If you want to follow up on ingredient consumption and costs a product can be connected to a recipe containing ingredients providing this kind of information. The use of recipes and ingredients is optional.

A product has to belong to 4 types of groups: 

• product group - follow up and accounting
• print group - controls which products to show on which kitchen display
• course group - controls the order of products on the kitchen display tickets
• discount group - to easily locate the correct products when creating offers

Without this information it won't be possible to save the product or add it to register layouts or preorder menus. 

Customisation and upselling on products is achieved using option groups. Option groups make it possible for your customers to choose between available options. 

If you want to create options that will only result in a message to the kitchen, modifiers is your friend. Modifiers can not have a price and will not affect inventory. 

Recipes, ingredients, option groups and modifiers can be reused on several products, hence they are created separately from the product.
This means that if you want to use this type of functionality you have to prepare these before building your products. 

See the guides below for how to create and administer each entity.
