Item/Menu Management
The BackOffice acts as the control panel for managing the back-of-house operations of your business, which includes managing your entire menu and how items are displayed in the Register.
This article includes a high-level overview of the prominent sections of the Items module to help familiarize you with its content.
Items
Create and manage the items you want to include in your menu on the Items tab. When creating or editing an item, you can customize its details, pricing, display properties, and more.
Please reference the Create Items article in the knowledge base for more information on creating items.
Categories
You can create and define categories and subcategories in the Categories tab to assign items for easier sorting and viewing (and reporting). A category is displayed in the Register as either button (that displays subcategories or items) or in the left-side navigation menu, depending on your Register Display settings.
For more information on creating categories and Register display settings, please reference the following knowledge base articles:
Modifiers (i.e., Modifier Sets)
Modifier Sets allow users to select from options (e.g., extra cheese) to apply to items during the checkout process. With Modifiers Sets, you can control which modifications are presented to the user and the order workflow via their properties (e.g., required, single selection, conversational ordering, and split modifiers).
Please reference the Create Modifier Sets article in the knowledge base for more information on creating modifier sets.
Departments
Create Departments and specify which items or categories you want to fall into that Department for reporting purposes in the Departments tab. For more information on creating departments and bulk assigning items to a Department, please reference the following knowledge base articles:
