How to add new items when you are POS integrated

This article explains how to add new items when your venue is POS integrated.

 

Instructions

If you are using any of the following POS systems you can easily link your items from your POS into me&u following the below steps:

Square, Kounta (Lightspeed O Series), impos, Micros, Revel, Lightspeed K Series, Touch Bistro, Toast, Starrtec, Infogenesis, OrderMate, SwiftPOS (v2/Cloud api)

Adding Menu Items:

  1. Go to Your Menu > Menu Items.
  2. Click Bulk Operations
  3. Click Import from POS
  4. Search up the item that you want with the Search Bar
  5. Choose which items you want to put on your menu by clicking on the Checkbox.
  6. Once the checkbox is ticked, scroll back to the top of the page and click on Import Items
  7. Choose where you want the item/s to go by click a Category and Section (You must have a sub-category within the Category you're importing the item to)

Newly imported items won't show on your menu to customers until you enable them. This gives you a chance to customise your items appearance on me&u by adding an image or editing the description. When you're ready for it to show: 

  1. Go to Your Menu > Menu Items > the category and section where you've imported your item
  2. Click on the item
  3. Turn on the toggle Is visible on menu?
  4. Click Update to save your changes

 

Adding modifiers:

For many synced POS your modifiers will automatically pull into the items when you import the items. So no need to do any extra work here if your POS is capable of this feature!

Your product codes are available through your POS system. Refer to POS Integrations for a guide on how to find your product codes.

 

Adding Modifier Options:

Modifiers, known as variants or options by some POS systems, also require a product code. Some POS systems will sync modifier product codes directly to your Manage me&u platform, saving you valuable time!
If your POS system syncs with your Manage me&u platform, new modifiers should be added through your POS system.
  1. Go to Your menu > Modifiers
  2. Click the Modifier options tab
  3. Click Create new modifier
  4. Fill in the required details. Enter your product code in External POS ID or External POS group ID if it's part of a group.
  5. Click Create option

 

Adding Modifier Groups:

Modifier Groups allow you to link multiple choices within the same group and link it to multiple menu items. Some examples are mixers for spirits, the number of glasses for bottles of wine, or adding or removing ingredients from a dish.

  1. Go to Your menu > Modifiers
  2. Click Create modifier group
  3. Fill in the details and click Save and continue to create the group
  4. You'll automatically be taken to the Modifier options tab
  5. Click Add modifier option to add the options available in the group
  6. Click the Linked menu items tab
  7. Click Link menu items to choose menu items that the group should appear on
  8. When you're done simply click the arrow in the top left corner
