Custom Menu (Items)

Custom menus are an alternate and flexible method of creating submenus that can be embedded within standard menus on the POS terminal. You can configure any mix of POS functions. You can also attach PLUs to a custom menu if it suits your business needs (for example, for frequently purchased items).

Custom menus allow you to further create submenus within submenus. Multiple variances of submenus can be created in advance and be attached to the main menu or the item menu within the standard menus. These submenus can then be made available for stores to use when required.

To create a custom menu, you must define its options in the Custom Menu (Item) screen and attach the custom menu to the store in the Custom Menu Store Maintenance screen.

To create and define a custom menu:

A new custom menu must be created by giving it an identification number and a description; selecting functions for the menu, and attaching the custom menu to a store. You can also attach a PLU to a custom menu.
