This article will explain how to add tags to a menu item on your Point of Sale.

Item tags help with background automation to make your life easier when applying discounts, reporting, snoozing/hiding items and routing items to your Kitchen Display Screens (KDS).

Requirements:

You will need access to your Point of Sale's Back Office

Instructions:

Step 1 - Log into your Point of Sale Back Office with your email address and password. (Please note menu editing can't be done through the Point of sale device)

Step 2 - Click on the Business name in the top right drop-down. This is the Franchise level view. Please don't click on the store name in the drop-down list.

  • You can use the first dropdown options to decide which station this item would show on your Kitchen display screens. For example, if you had multiple stations for burgers, dips and drinks all with their own Kitchen display screen you can route this item to a specific one.

  • You can also add discount tags this will allow you to decide if this item can be discounted.

  • You can add report tags so if you were to build a custom report to monitor the performance of certain items you can add this item to that report using this drop-down menu.
