Product Menus
Menus categorize products into major categories, such as Sandwiches, Combo Meals, Beverages, and Desserts.
If you only have three (3) product menus or less, use the menu list button to toggle the menus. An indicator identifies the active menu.
A complex product menu may include subcategories to enable you to locate items more quickly.
When you open a product menu, its subcategories are displayed below. Select a subcategory to access its products.
Depending on how the POS is setup, the product menus may automatically change with a daypart change. You can open a different daypart menu, if needed.
For example, if the menu automatically changes from Breakfast to Lunch at 11:00 AM, you can return to the Breakfast menu if necessary to accommodate guests who want to order items from that menu.
To open a daypart menu:
From the top-left of the menu list, select the down arrow.
Select the menu.
Combined Identical Items
Depending on how the POS is setup, identical items may be combined on the order item listbox to conserve space.
When combined, the item quantity is updated accordingly.

After you perform another action, such as adding another Small Coffee, the previous Small Coffee items are combined and the item quantity is updated:
